BREAKING NEWS: Eight Idiot Democratic Senators Vote to Rescue Trump and Screw America

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.
The Senate Democrats!

Sounds plausible.
Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.

Sounds plausible.
We need a better plan than “We will hold them accountable.”

My dog ate a jar of cold cream last night and she farted cold cream all over everything all night long, I’m having to wash everything, and from her ribs to the tip of her tail, she’s greasy. And you’d think she’d smell good and cleaned out, but she does not.
