    The deal also includes voting in December to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies that Democrats have been fighting to preserve, according to the report.

    Vote on it? They don’t control the House or Senate. They’ll lose it.

      They have the votes on the Dem side plus GOP defectors to pass something no problem. It would political suicide for the GOP people siding with Dems right to bail on it in a month, especially after people just got hit hard by this shutdown and the bills for their upcoming ACA premiums. I think they’ve got the votes.

        If this was true, there would be no reason not to vote on it all together.

        This happened under Biden. (Schumer then, too, I belive) Separated a bill, passed the parts the Republicans wanted, then the Republicans voted against the part the Democrat wanted.

        Bend over, here it comes again.

      Is your think the parties are the same, you’re incredibly out of touch.

      One is batshit crazy, violent, and selfish. The other is weak and pathetic. They’re both quite stupid, though.

        No one thinks the parties are the same. Some people lie their fucking asses off about it though. And some of them get paid to do it.
