It's fucking sickening. This is the one piece of meaningful power they have until the midterms, and Republicans didn't even bother consulting them.

Now they want to give it up, for what? A pinky promise they'll play nice? To make sure Trump doesn't get ammunition to blame Democrats for everything?

Fucking coward.

It's like liberals don't even understand they've been living in an oligarchy for decades?

I sure hope he’s not dumb enough to think that, Dems will be blamed either way.

Not even. A floor vote on an amendment to the bill that won't pass. They're going to give them legitimacy in exchange for a fucking performance.

Lamestream/GOP media saying Democrats will be blamed for shutdown, is media blaming them for shutdown and supporting a corrupt bill.

He would need to be abandoning some kind of principles to be a coward.

Not the case.
