Oh look it’s the pattern that’s been happening my entire fucking life.

Hey yall. Does anyone know where these people live?
Because i would like to greet them.
So it's the caviest of caves, without even giving the Democrats anything. Are they worried that they were winning too much?
Really disappointed to see both my senators (GA) on here. Thank you for putting the link in your post, I'll write them both now.
Call today. A letter won't be fast enough.
OP left out Chuck Schumer's DC office number which is at www.schumer.senate.gov/contact
(Kinda doubt I can just post the number on its own without getting in trouble with the mods)
More like "in reach around". 🤌🏼
I really can't think of a reason for them to cave other than worry that Trump will actually pressure Republicans into ending the filibuster and they might have to start doing their fucking jobs.
Or Republicans might lose too hard and then scary progressive things could happen.
Or they fear their constituents who are hungry and can't see gramma for Thanksgiving will punish them as incumbents no matter that (R) did this
If they do, they were always going to flip. They just needed a better pocket lining.
The United States is the laughing stock of the world.
Those MAGA voters don't care cuz they have ACA not obamacare so they'll be fine...
I can't wait to see the form letter full of platitudes I receive in response from both of my senators about thsi
As I always say, they are the same party. The shutdown was just for show.
Peters isn’t running again, so of course he’s being a fucking bitch. You’re soft as table butter, Gary.
Not sure how to feel about this, people were going hungry and planes were being stopped. Yes there is nothing stopping the GOP from doing this again, but it's mostly a charade already - they could have abolished the filibuster and got what they wanted anyways.
The Dems have this attitude that if the people suffer enough they will learn they were wrong for not voting for them, but it feels like ground hog's day with that strategy because misinformed people always learn the wrong lesson. At the end of the day it's more important for our leaders to do good than to prove they were right.
Edit: It seems food stamps were back on, so now I'm just pissed they wasted everyone's time and energy.
A deal?! 🫢
Is it impeachment? Prison? Beheading? Any real consequences???
