Oh look, a bunch of performative independently wealthy Republicans pretending to do a solidarity thing with the common people who aren’t being paid, while they… Shut down the government in order to take away the common people’s healthcare…

How many Republicans voted against the clean CR?

How many bothered to negotiate anything at all before hand, knowing their attempts to steal Americans healthcare wouldn’t just be agreed to?
How many Republicans LEFT TOWN knowing there would not be a settled budget.
Kicking the can down the road so they can keep pushing their “every American gets punched in the face” budget bill without any compromise does fuck all but give them more time to try to shift blame as they do nothing to compromise on their “fuck Americans, the wealthy get all the money” bill. It’s straight extortion.
