It was a craven capitulation by the Dems. But, they earned points with the electorate for standing up to MAGA, and tat should pay dividends during the midterms. So what prevented Thune from offering the accepted deal in the beginning? |

I'm definitely not voting any Democrats out for the shutdown. Trump does worse about once a week., "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

They earned points with the mentally ill TDS radicals. Middle America not so much as Middle America does not want government health care for illegal aliens. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |

| fleaswatter Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 5 Posts: 1742 | The republicans should be ashamed of themselves for including this provision: Bipartisan funding bill would allow senators to sue over government searches of their phone records I agree with Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett It's the retroactive application of the provision I strongly find offensive. |

Yowza. Flea and me agreeing on REPULSIVE Republican add on to the ‘open the government’ bill. Even a bunch of Republicans are already trying to team up with the Democrats to rescind that part. It’s a reason I wish most bills were done SEPARATELY. This add on stuff never seems to be in the public’s best interests. |

If the Republicans objected so much, they would have stripped it from the bill before passage. |
