    A deal would imply that they extracted some concessions. This was just a capitulation.

    Fucking cowards.

    They caved and got nothing in return except a guaranteed vote that will end in a NO from GOP…

    They gave up the SHIELD WALL and got nothing for it.

    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.

        Oh, yes, I’m sure they’ll follow through on their pinky promise to be civil like they have every other time in history when they get the chance to dig in. And I’m also sure that Trump will happily not veto a democratic bill to make an example or anything.

        If they had the votes they would have included it in the current bill.

        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.

    And we will once again be forced to watch as the Democrats find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

    They won the elections in a landslide only to turn around and IMMEDIATELY fuck it up.

      If they were gonna cave, why put everyone through all the pain first?

      Why pretend they even care at this point?

    Last time Schumer caved because he didn’t want to inflict shutdown pain on Americans, so he said. This time he did exactly that, then also caved. Motherfucker.

    Oh good a vote in the Senate. Fucking Mike Johnson will never bring it up in the house and you just traded away everything for nothing. Absolutely nothing.

      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.

    These fuckers are completely complicit. Republicans’ word is absolutely worthless. How can the claim they’ll vote on healthcare in December be at all believed?

      I believe they’ll have a vote in the Senate. And I believe even if it passes, Republicans only agreed to it after confirming Johnson won’t even hold a vote in the House.
