WASHINGTON — In a bid to align his unity pitch with his pursuit of a bold agenda, President Joe Biden has been selling his $1.9 trillion Covid-19 package as bipartisan.
But that message crashed into a hard reality early Saturday morning when the House passed the bill — without a single Republican vote.
How does he do that? By changing the meaning of bipartisan.
Good job joe! You and your cronies have passed a bill said to help people during Covid where only 9%, at best 21% goes to anything Covid related and 79-91% goes to Democratic pet projects.

How does he do that? By changing the meaning of bipartisan.
In recent weeks, Biden’s chief of staff Ron Klain has marshaled the White House messaging apparatus to make the case that the president's aid package is bipartisan, not because any GOP lawmakers have signed on, but because polls show it has support from a large majority of the public, and because some Republican mayors and officials outside Washington have backed it.
and viola! A new reality is here.
