Notably, there is no guarantee that the Obamacare subsidies will be extended — and no commitment from Republican House leaders to even hold a vote at all on the subsidies.
Then what the fuck was the point? That was Democrats one demand. Either finish what you start or don’t start at all, you cowards.
Seems the Dems establishment is pissed the old guard is dying out and are willing to bring the entire country down with them. Very Trumpian of them.
Let's all start demanding Chuck Schumer's resignation as loudly as we demand the release of the Epstein files.
Still, the deal was good enough for seven Senate Democrats and one independent: Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., Dick Durbin, D-Ill., John Fetterman, D-Pa., Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., Tim Kaine, D-Va., Angus King, I-Maine, Jackie Rosen, D-Nev., and Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H.
Crazy that Kaine is still in office...
Being Clinton's VP pick should have told voters from his state he's not on the people's side. Or that he was one of our shitty DNC chairs, specifically the one after Obama refused to name one after winning 08.
His name doesn't come up much, but we'd be better off with him out of office. He's a big reason shit is so fucked.
Oh good, now it really was for nothing. Thanks Fetterman et al
This isn't 8 deluded idiots standing on idiotic principle.
It's a carefully stage-managed operation to scuttle the fight for even a few crumbs of healthcare.
Notice how every single one of these motherfuckers is either retiring or not up for re-election any time soon. They even rigged it so Schumer could vote no and take a little of the recent heat off himself.
The rot in the Democrat party goes all the way to the core. There's no reforming it.
'Blink', is a funny way to spell 'bend over and spread open'.
Distraction ... endless distraction.
That is what America politics has become. It's been like that a little in the past but now it will be the norm.
Endless nonsense and crisis .... just crisis after crisis.
The US government has basically fallen. It doesn't work as intended anymore and does the opposite.
I'm actually surprised Schumer isn't among the spinless capitulators, this time.
Hm, almost like that was the plan the whole time. They can say they tried and aren't as nasty as those Republicans (WHO ARE NOT DEMOCRATS) though right? Democrats fully support fascist policies y'all, they're hoping this admin collapses and affords them a reputation that enables those policies with greater public support.
And the motherfuckers are killing the hemp industry in bundling it into the minibus. All hemp derived cannabinoid products will be federally illegal once again.
300,000 American jobs will vanish next year because of this bullshit. A very strong and growing industry, adding jobs and around $35 billion (B) to GDP since it's legalization in the 2018 Farm Bill - oddly enough, passed by the same group of fucking shitheels!
Once again, the 'party of small government' is legislating morality.
