This is who the #Democrats surrendered to.
And this is what their surrender bought them.
Spineless fucks.

The #Democrats subreddit is prohibiting any mention of their surrender on the #Shutdown.
They are rapidly turning into slightly more polite clones of the GOP.
This country is utterly fucked.

So if the #Democrats are being up front about their reasoning (they're not), they should vote down the CR because the #Republicans are obviously not keeping up their end of the deal.
But we all know that's not going to happen.

Mike Johnson: "That's the reason the inflation is up, the cost of living is up so high -- because of the policies of the previous administration. Now, we're working to root those policies out and implement our own, but it takes a little time."

No.
80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate.
Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

No matter what any of the #Democrats say, this proves that ALL OF THEM are okay with this capitulation.

Hearing now that @chrismurphyct.bsky.social will allow the fast-tracking of the capitulation CR.
If any senator objects, the bill passage could be delayed until Friday. But apparently zero Senators have objected to the scheduling motion on the hotline.
Zero!

I got back to my office after the vote last night and recorded this. There's no way to sugarcoat what happened. And my fear is that Trump gets stronger, not weaker, because of this acquiescence. I'm angry - like you. But I choose to keep fighting.

We're still waiting on your #healthcare plan from 2017, my dude.
Trump: "We want a healthcare system where we pay the money to the people instead of the insurance companies. We're gonna be working on that very hard over the next short period of time. Where the people get the money. We're talking about trillions and trillions of dollars."

I don't think we should lose sight of the fact that #healthcare is a winning issue for Democrats.
Why? Because if #ACA subsidies never come back, a lot of people will be unable to afford any kind of healthcare next year, which just happens to be an election year.

I don't like to announce my unfollowings, but I am unfollowing any account that tries to portray the #Democrats surrender as anything other than total capitulation for nothing in return.

I hope we all understand now how absurd it is to expect #Democrats to put the monsters in #ICE on trial for their many, many crimes.
They only reluctantly did it to Trump and he tried to overthrow the government.
This latest debacle should make things clear.

Probably not.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

PS: the reason it didn't work is because she cheated on me and then lied about it when I caught her.
