In October they were cheering on trump. trump has abandoned them. EPSTEIN? Lack of a plan to end his catastrophe? Total failure of a human being trailed by sycophants. Not one of them brave enough to order a course correction. Why might that be?

Chance in hell.

Democrats need to be making more noise about the rescission of compromises once made.

To me, rescission is the real reason for the shutdown.

Republicans have broken trust and rendered legislative compromise meaningless.

are up for re-election?

Otherwise it might make their gerrymandering a moot issue.

First, you have to get it past the House (Johnson's balls are in Trump's pocket over Epstein), then you have to get Trump to sign it. Hint: HE WON'T!!

through the shutdown.

The fact is that Trump and his admin refuse to use it, and are pretending that it is not available.

This bill literally addresses a problem that they have cooked up themselves for the purpose of passing this bill, which they will try to poison pill with a continuing resolution in order to break the Dem blockade.

Here's their plan:

1) Refuse to fund SNAP through the existing $5 billion contingency fund (which was designed for just such occasions!)
2) Go all over media claiming the contingency fund is flawed somehow (see trashbag MAGA fluffer Jake Tapper making this case on his show)
3) Put forward an emergency funding bill
4) Tack on a last minute "clean CR" to break the shutdown
5) If Dems vote for it, they caved and ACA is gone. If they don't, they're to blame for SNAP expiration. Haha!

The whole thing is garbage. There is already money to fund SNAP through next summer.

And he did sue Google which is something good, no matter who does it.

I try to never break forum rules. However, I don’t have so polarized a view that when someone does the right thing, which supporting snap funding is, I would diss that.
