Dems Reward the Hostage-Taker
Perhaps ending the shutdown was the responsible thing to do. But by caving, Democrats risk legitimizing Trump’s maximum-pain shutdown tactics.

It’s not about jobs; it’s about universal health care, higher minimum wage, a livable safety net, free child care, free college education, & paid parental leave. Basic stuff found in Canada. The R’s have destroyed our sense of what it means to be a civil society.

This article is seriously demented. Rethuglicans have NO intention of yielding on health care. Their billionaire owners won’t let them. Little Mikey won’t do it. Ridiculous assertion. Last night, Dems pissed away their only chance. Schumer must resign.

I don’t want Chuck Schumer out because of his no vote to end the shut down. I want Chuck Schumer out because he couldn’t control his caucus and 8 of the people in it defected to the fascist side and voted with them!

He needs to be gone as Senate minority leader like yesterday!

Bullsh*t. They caved because their donors wanted them to cave and Chuckie helped build them an off-ramp. It’s the same old story: our legislators are bought and bossed by billionaires, bankers, and zionaires. They get what they want and we get a sh*t sandwich which Chuckie tells us “tastes great!”

Du kannst dir keine Kohlemine, Gasturbine o Ölplattform leisten.

Das können sich nur Staaten u Milliardäre leisten, die v fossilen Brennstoffen leben

Aber Du kannst dir eine Solaranlage auf dem Dach leisten.

Fragen dich nun selbst, warum du so viel Propaganda gegen erneuerbare Energien erlebst.
You can’t afford a coal mine.

You can’t afford a gas turbine.

You can’t afford an oil rig.

Only fossil fuel states and billionaires can.

But you can afford a solar power station on your roof.

Now, ask yourself why you encounter so much anti-renewable energy propaganda.

Another interesting angle: Many believe that most of Orange Fart Face's accusations are actually projections.

So is he planning to somehow profit from the Health Ins companies???

Democrats are so amateurish and naive to act on a promise of behavior in the future by people who shamelessly lie about their behavior in the past every single day.

Wow — Casada wasn’t the only Tennessee Republican getting a Trump pardon. @RepHarshbarger got him to pardon her health care fraud husband too.

Kelsey, Casada, Harshbarger… Tennessee Republicans working those pardons hard.

The law no longer applies to them in the Trump era.
