WASHINGTON — In a rare display of bipartisan cooperation, congressional Republicans and Democrats announced Saturday that they had reached a historic agreement to ignore the will of American voters, ending months of bitter partisan fighting over exactly how they would go about doing it.
The landmark agreement was reached after Senate Republicans departed Washington for their August recess without passing the SAVE America Act, despite repeated demands from President Trump and conservative voters that the legislation be approved.
“This is truly a great day for bipartisanship,” said Senate Majority Leader John Thune, standing alongside Democratic leaders at a joint press conference. “Republicans and Democrats may disagree on almost everything, but we’ve discovered that we can always find common ground when it comes to ignoring the people who elected us.”
Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer echoed Thune’s statement, adding, “It wasn’t easy. Republicans wanted to ignore Republican voters, while Democrats wanted to ignore Democrat voters. Eventually we compromised by agreeing to ignore everyone.”
At press time, Republicans and Democrats were preparing to celebrate their historic bipartisan achievement with a taxpayer-funded dinner honoring their successful efforts to ignore voters.
