President Biden on Wednesday made an appeal to the value of bipartisanship during a trip to Kentucky, providing a stark split-screen moment with the chaos unfolding in the House back in Washington, D.C.
Biden delivered remarks in the shadow of the Brent Spence Bridge, which connects Kentucky and Ohio over the Ohio River, to tout investments from the bipartisan infrastructure law he signed in late 2021 that would improve local traffic and commerce.
But the speech was more broadly a nod to the president’s belief in collaboration and reaching across the aisle at a time when Republicans have been unable to muster the votes with their new majority to elect a Speaker in the House.
“I wanted to start off the new year at this historic project here in Ohio and Kentucky with a bipartisan group of officials because I believe it sends an important message, an important message to the entire country,” Biden said. “We can work together.

Or something like that...
I told you they were butt buddies
He isn't "one of them" and they know it. McConnell most certainly is.
How idiotic that McConnell is being taken to the shed by another old fool who doesn’t even know where he’s at or what day it is. We see the uniparty blatantly on parade and spitting in our face
Nothing more needs said......
I'm sure old Mitch's buttons were busting at the "honor"
Ousting RINOs is going to be a slow process taking multiple election cycles. We made a good start in 2022.
Yes you have done a good job with the House GOP.
The senators are a bit more tricky to dislodge.
Just a couple of old-time crooked politicians and poster boys for TERM LIMITS!
“and poster boys for TERM LIMITS!”

They aren’t going to write laws that limit their terms.
Absolutely correct! Not unless they are FORCED to do so.
