#Bush made fascism better for liberals to tolerate because he hid his behind the cloak of a loveable oaf. Liberals remember the #liberal oaf & not the #warcriminal.
Hell, #Iraq was a #bipartisan decision.
The #Senate approved a measure to block some of the #tariffs #Trump has imposed on #Canada, w/a handful of #Republicans joining #Democrats to…halt levies set to take effect this week.
The measure is all but certain to stall in the #House, where #GOP leaders moved preemptively to shut down any attempt to end Trump’s tariffs. But Senate passage on a vote of 51 to 48—hours after Trump unveiled sweeping tariffs on >100 trading partners…, sent a signal of #bipartisan opposition to Trump’s #TradeWar.

Rep. #JamieRaskin on Why #BikeSafety is Becoming #Bipartisan
Via #Alternet Apr 01, 2025
Speaker #MikeJohnson is facing #bipartisan criticism—and public ridicule—after abruptly shutting down the #HouseOfRepresentatives on Tuesday afternoon for the rest of the week. The move came after a #Republican proposal with bipartisan support, which would allow members with newborns to #vote remotely, disrupted his legislative agenda. Johnson, who often portrays himself as a devoted family man, opposed a rule change to accommodate new parents

U.S. Senators Call Out #AutomotiveExecs for Opposing #RightToRepair
Story by Beverly Braga, December 21, 2024
"The rich get richer, except this time Big Government is fighting for the little guy. Yes, you read that correctly and, no, it makes no sense to me either. Apparently, the exception is right-to-repair laws which are being pushed by—wait for it—a #bipartisan effort that is literally scolding #automakers to quit gatekeeping everything and give consumers access to parts, services, and their own personal vehicle data."
@MikeDunnAuthor The FL bill to ban #SocialMedia from those 16 and under was a #Bipartisan deal, so both our corporate overlord parties got together and restricted #FreeSpeech . #CoolBeans /s
Unfamiliar with AIPAC and therefore wonder why so many on the self-branded "good team" are siding with evil? For their jobs. The "good" guys are cool with letting evil slide if they get to keep their jobs. JOBS!
How much harm, suffering, destruction and death would YOU sweep under the rug for your JOB?!
The word that springs to mind for this is "collaborator."

One assumption that was made throughout the #VoiceToParliament debate & in the analysis of the overwhelming racist result is that all those apparently supporting a "Yes" vote actually desired a "Yes" outcome.
I believe that to be a naive idea, one can destroy an idea with faint praise possibly better than with outright opposition.
There is never going to be a Treaty, there was never ever going to be a Treaty, the Neoliberals & other racists decided that long ago.
This recent debacle was just them making sure of that by setting up a straightforward moral decision of a simple black & white issue as though there was something to be debated, then confusing the issue to the best of their ability.
This result will enable them to deny any possibility of anything even vaguely resembling a Treaty, because, you know ... "the will of the people".
Machiavelli lives.
