Sounds like Mace may have already folded…

Second night in a row that O’Donnell @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com is scolding his viewers for daring to be angry over the Dem capitulation.

Hey Lawrence, get off your high horse. One more snooty lecture from you and I’m done.

I hope Jake Tapper is hard at work on his book about Trump’s dementia

I’m surprised it took this long.

Nope, Lawrence @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com, not buying it. Your boo-hooing about how hard a Senator’s job is doesn’t miraculously make this deal a good one. Fact remains that most of what they claim they got is just Rs “promising“ to follow existing laws. That is shameful.

Two months ago we were paying all federal workers, SNAP benefits were fully funded, and people could afford their health insurance premiums but a small group of Democratic senators have Stockholm Syndrome and are telling us we have to Sophie’s choice one or two of these things.

Just exactly what have you observed about Trump and Congressional Republicans in the past year that makes you think giving in to them is a good idea?!?

You are disgusting.

Lucy, football. 😡

They traded away the ACA and guaranteed downstream increases for all for a promise from promise-breaking Senate Rs to OBEY LAWS ALREADY ON THE BOOKS. 🤯

Helluva deal.

It’s a promise from promise-breaking Rs to OBEY LAWS ALREADY ON THE BOOKS! That’s the whole deal. Trump is laughing himself silly over how easy this has been.

The wall of shame.

Providing back pay is a law, so your big achievement is you got the Rs to promise to OBEY THE LAW? Really? You are unbelievably, pathetically gullible. And a sellout, just like when you voted to confirm Noem. Disgusting.

After over nine months of Trump and his regime inflicting extreme pain and abuse on the country every day, eight Senate Democrats decided to remove one actual moment of leverage and end the government shutdown. Just pathetic.

Amen. Honestly, it’s like the barbarians are sacking the city, and these idiots are obsessed with inviting them to high tea to “discuss the situation”. They even have the balls to scold the rest of us for not politely raising our pinkies when we sip.

No one answering the phones at Tim Kaine’s DC office — staff has either given up or are overwhelmed with calls. Had to leave a voice mail msg. I am just shaking, I am so angry with him.

Fair.

Scientists Struggle to Find Purpose of Chuck Schumer

Harry Dunn (@harrydunn) Sen Dems: OK, we'll vote to open the government if all promise to give us a vote on health-care in the future. Sen Repubs: (to each other "omg this is like taking candy from a baby") Yes deal!!! Se...

💯 this.

After everything, Senate Democrats still haven’t figured out that surrendering to Trump Republicans will end badly? Unbelievable.

First you vote to confirm Kristi Noem for Homeland Security, and now you sell us out on this?

Just switch parties and be done with it, you quisling! At least that way we can run a Democrat against you and whip your a**.

How dare you insult us with that weasel-worded statement? With no leverage, there is ZERO chance of an ACA bill passing, and that’s IF the GOP even goes through with it. You are a gullible moron if you think this is a good deal.

You’ve got the last $ and last vote you’ll ever get from me.

I am just furious. They think a separate ACA bill, with zero leverage, has any chance whatsoever of passing? If the GOP even keeps the deal — a sucker’s bet. Schumer sold us out again. If they were going to fold anyway, why not do it right away and save the weeks of pain?

Absolutely enraged.🤬

It’s unfair that Trump gets to sleep through his presidency and the rest of us have to be awake for it

Personally, I think an engraved depiction of this should be the “tails” side.

Upon reflection, electing a president who has nothing to lose because he’s been granted immunity and is at death’s door seems like not a great idea

The House of Representatives has had 20 days of work in the last 19 weeks! Johnson and all the Republicans should repay their salaries to the American people

Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

I’m just saying, but if I had just gotten completely shellacked on Tuesday, I wouldn’t be asking SCOTUS to let me starve millions of people 3 days later.

All the best to Nancy Pelosi, a true giant in Congress and in America. Among her many defining moments, this is my favorite.
