Are we still in Covid?

Why did the GOP make the TEMPORARY tax cuts for the wealthy permanent?

Those tax cuts added trillions to the debt and did nothing for America.

Those aren't even part of this discussion nor should temporary emergency once in a century pandemic health insurance subsidies

Democrats need to hold out until Obama care subsidies are fully funded

You’re a moron. People can’t not get paid for months.

I’m in New Orleans right now and my plane that was supposed to depart from here to BWI in an hour is still in Dallas. Our other friends trying to get to Newark and National are similarly f*cked.

Are you listening Leader Schumer?

Democrats are actually smarter than they look, for once. They will reopen the government with just the promise of a vote. Now, we know that R promises aren’t with the paper they’re written on. So when the Rs kill the subsidies and/or the ACA, the Ds have every advantage for the midterms . They can point to the fact that they tried. They can point to the fact that the president was willing to starve people and asked the Supreme Court to cut off money for kids food. They can point to the fact that the Rs did know the premiums were skyrocketing and decided that that was okay. You no longer have to ask the populace to imagine what the Rs would do - they did it. So one more year of this BS.

This should be an all hands on deck situation. But Mike Johnson wants to protect pedophiles, so there are 435 pairs of hands that are not on deck.

The Democrats are getting ready to blink and reopen the government. So what did they get from this mess? Maybe reopen before TN results? Maybe get the Epstein files released?

Epstein files will NOT make a difference to his supporters. He has proven to be a rapist and guilty on 34 felonies and it made no difference.

Democrats aren’t very smart and won’t hold the line. Midterms are so far away this argument won’t make a difference.

The democrats need to get their asses in gear and sign the clean cr, or be removed from office (forcibly, if need be). They are destroying the holidays for so many Americans.

Too bad. So sad.

The republicans created the funding bill without any input from the democrats. Ramming a bill down the other party’s throat is not the way to run the government.

That’s fine. But just understand that you’re willing to miss your flight because Senator Schumer is trying to avoid a primary.

Or that Mike Johnson doesn't want to bring the House back because he would have to swear in a certain member that was elected almost 2 months ago. We can do this all day.

No we can’t do this all day. Because the Speaker said about a thousand times the House will be brought back into session 48 hours after the Senate passes the clean CR.

That would require the House pass a clean CR. What they passed that is sitting at the senate is not a clean CR. Add to it that teh CR was supposed to be a bridge to passing a full budget bill. That bill should have been ready now for debate and passage, but since the House hasn't been in session, the bill is not ready. That is not the Dems fault.

If it's not a clean CR then you'll need to explain what's new in it. Because that's what everyone is reporting, not just Fox.

My advice to the Dems would be to come out with a public statement saying they have decided to vote for the House CR because they don't want to see Americans suffer due to reduced SNAP benefits. However, if extension of the ACA subsidies aren't in the next House bill, they will not support it, same as this time. Give them warning to pull the snap payments forward and replenish the contingency funds.

It makes the Repubs look like heels and preserves their negotiating leverage, while giving Americans a break and the Trump admin some rope to hang themselves.

oh yeah sure, that will work
for sure

All these Republicans working in good faith. This time, Charlie Brown, this time it will work! Because it has to.

gettin right on that

+1 Dems are holding the line. Blue cities are feeding and caring for those affected. We do every year, all year long. GOP is slowly dying and taking their poor masses with them.

And Grijalva is seated.

OP and people like OP are vile and evil.

People have dying relatives they need to get to.

People need to travel for medical treatments, sometimes life saving.

People need to do their jobs (which can involve travel) to stay employed.

Kids with divorced parents in different locations need to get home.

Just truly disgusting.

Wow you are expecting American voters to connect an awful lot of dots, aren’t you?

And we have all these totally out of touch GS whatever on here saying they can hold out for a year because they’re old and have lots of savings / their spouse has a high paying job / they’re independently wealthy. Glad you’ve had a cushy job for years but this is not about you. There are people making $50K a year cleaning the facilities and contractors who (unlike Feds) will NOT get back pay at all.

I was all for the Ds holding the line but enough is enough.
