[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jeh Johnson says Senate Democrats need to end the shutdown and stop hurting federal workers for their pet issue

"I’m gonna break from the party line here on this. I’m a Democrat. I’m with John Fetterman and Angus King... The most basic function of Congress is to fund the government, turn the lights on, keep the government working so that the 3 million people who are public servants are able to do what they do.”

“I believe that Congress should vote to re-open the government. Apparently, you need seven Democrats to make that happen in the Senate. I think that the mistake our democracy is making is linking the need for that 60 votes to some other issue, even though it’s a very, very critical issue. Because what’s going to happen is that this will occur every fall from this point forward.”[/quote]

How I miss the days of moderate and pragmatic Secretary Jeh Johnson.[/quote]

Weird because Marjorie Taylor Greene blames the Republicans and doesn’t want her health insurance premiums to rise.[/quote]

She has smore small donors than anyone else in Congress - she's hearing it from her constituents and small donors, they'd be crushed by the insurance hikes.[/quote]

small donors = low IQ peasants who have been duped into thinking our major party politicians give a dang about the interests of everyday Americans. Every dollar donated to these corrupt entities is a dollar that supports only the interests of wealthy political mega-donors. These truths hurt.[/quote]
If Democrats only cared about the wealthy, they'd have approved the House's CR already and there would be no shutdown.[/quote]

Yes, of course because it's the wealthy people who have the most to lose while missing pay checks and essential services during the shut down....  :roll: [/quote]
