lol not knowing or acknowledging that the filibuster exists.
I don't watch Fox News and I certainly don't watch MSNBC.

(Bloomberg) -- Democrats entered the shutdown seeking to renew tax credits to stave off insurance premium price hikes and to show voters they have the stomach for hardball negotiations in President Donald Trump’s Washington.
As the record-long shutdown neared its end more than a month later, they failed to achieve either goal.
...even bloomberg knows acknowledges the Dems massive fail
Your first mistake was ever thinking I wanted a real dialogue with you in the first place. Again, I don't take the words of the mentally ill to heart nor do I learn anything meaningful from them so I'd rather not entertain them.
Have a great night, loon!
Same ol' trope, not by you though WH but by Brooke, "you don't know _____".
I don't know Communism personally seeing how I haven't lived through a Communist dictatorship. However, I learn from reading. I shared a lot today which would prove Brooke's theory wrong. I might not know Communism itself but I do know what Communism entails from autobiographies, biographies, Marx's & Engels writings, do entaries, and a plethora of other resources.
I'd rather not know what I've read; it's brutally disgusting and barbaric, manipulative, cultish, and Godless. It's not pretty in the least, just like art, architecture, and so much more today. You know why there's a penchant for ugliness in Communism, because beauty would be what the bourgeoisie preferred.
World domination is what drives Communism. What propels Communism though, is the down-trodden, the affluent, and those who are looking to belong to something bigger than themselves with a promise of virtue.
Why do you guys cheer for higher insurance hikes? Why do you guys never answer?
You'll never admit where you get your talking points from, huh.
Where do you get yours from, Flake....lets see your sources....lmao
Senate rules can be changed by the majority
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/t...smid=url-shareOne air traffic controller earns cash by hanging Christmas lights for his neighbors. Another stocks grocery store shelves for six hours before heading in for his shift. A third drives for DoorDash after clocking out.
Hundreds of air traffic controllers across the United States have taken on second jobs driving for Uber and Lyft, delivering food, or working in restaurants as the government shutdown stretches past five weeks, according to the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, a union that represents nearly 20,000 aviation safety professionals. Struggling to pay their bills and put food on the table, controllers, who must work without pay during the shutdown, say they remain dedicated to keeping air travel safe but are running ragged trying to support themselves and their families.
“I’m broken down. I’m sore. I’m mentally drained,” said one controller at an airport in the Southeast, who has spent nearly all his free time this week — almost 40 hours — hanging Christmas lights for pay. “There’s some times where I felt like just going into the corner and crying because it’s been pretty tough to push through the physical pain, the tiredness and waking up the next day having to do it all over again.”
The controller, like others interviewed for this article, spoke on the condition of anonymity out of concern that making frank comments about the Federal Aviation Administration could get him fired.
Nick Daniels, NATCA’s president, said in an interview that controllers working other jobs in their spare time “absolutely” made the air traffic system less safe. But he added that he understood, as mortgage and car payments come due, that many controllers have few other options.
“They need to do whatever is best for them and their families,” he said. “I’m not here to judge people on what is going to help them.”
https://www.stripes.com/theaters/us/...-19718223.htmlSince Friday, airlines have canceled about 8,000 flights under orders to drop 4% of flights at 40 of the nation’s busiest airports. That will rise to 6% on Tuesday and 10% by week’s end, the FAA says.
But you keep saying everything you don't like is communism, proving you don't actually know what it is.
Every time I post info, I link the source. You'll never admit where you get your marching orders from.
Actually, it was. See Senator Turban Durbin's admission in the video below. "We [8 Democrats] agreed to reopen the government...," after Senator Majority Leader Thune pinky-swore to have a vote on the ACA Healthcare Company Enrichment Scheme in December. Look, if Senator Schumer had allowed his caucus to vote yes on the Clean CR, 15 times ago, you wouldn't be looking at an empty promise on the Unaffordable Care Act, between now and the end of the December and, full funding on the 3 budgets that suffered the most during the Schumer Shutdown - meaning he can't hold them hostage again. I'm enjoying the absolute meltdown of the Commie Left of the Party. Bernie, AOC, and their minions are absolutely apoplectic over the 8 Democrats that finally had had enough of the politics and voted with reason.
What did the Republicans give up? Agreeing to hire back federal employees RIF'd during the Schumer Shutdown, with back pay.
I'll take it.
Sad Turban Durbin admits Democrats ed up
All on Senator Chuck Shutdown Schumer.
Why do you want the health care premiums of US citizens to skyrocket?
Please explain.
I'm glad that didn't happen.
Here's my prediction for the Unaffordable Care Act. President Trump is going to fight for the subsidies to be paid directly to the insured, instead of the insurance companies - something he proposed over the weekend (which, it has been suggested) got the 8 Democrats off their asses to vote with Republicans. The subsidies -- which were only ever meant to be in place during the Pandemic -- had become a cash cow for Insurance Companies. The only way you're going to drive down Healthcare Insurance prices is to put the power of selection back in the hands of the people who use it.
President Barack Obama said the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) would bring premium prices down 25% and that if you liked your doctor, you could keep your doctor. Neither of which was true. Most people had to leave their doctors and buy insurance from the ACA Marketplace or face annual fines. In the interim, rates have skyrocketed over 220% and most people had to find new doctors.
This whole scam was ed up from the beginning. It's why NO Republicans voted for it and why Obamacare had to bribe more than a couple of Democrats to go along. It's probably why Bernie is the top recipient of donations from the HealthCare Industry.
Talk about a self-own. If Schumer had just done what he had done 13 previous times - back in October - he wouldn't be crying in his milk this morning.
You know, being mad at 8 members of your own party for voting yes on the Continuing Resolution, is a tacit admission it was always within the Democrats power to end the Schumer Shutdown.
Democrats rage as funding bill heads to House
They'll never answer.
Trump’s favorability dropped during the shutdown and no one is going to be keeping score on how the government reopened during the midterms. What they will care about is how the economy is performing and how expensive healthcare is. Republicans are completely incapable of fixing either of those problems which is why trumps looking to hand out $2k tariff rebate checks.

lol. What’s the mechanism for this? Sounds like he’s trying to dust off the tired old health savings account scheme.
the Dems did not cover themselves with glory, nor did they tell a convincing tale afterwards
it's just sad
illegally spending what he illegally taxed? TERRIBLE IDEA
and blowing another 9 figure hole in the deficit? WITH RESULTING INFLATION
(actually, I doubt Trump will follow through with another megadole à la 2020, his second administration seems focused on pure punishment; I rate Trump Check 2.0 probable puffery)
No, they did not. But, it's who they are and have always been.
