They should be meaningless, but Cleta Mitchell (a key ringleader in GA and still) wanted them anyway.
Thereβs still time to call senators. Let me explain. Sorry not sorry about the cat. Heβs also really upset about this deal.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.
Anyone who believes that the Senators who voted for the non-deal did so without Schumerβs consent while he votes no for show is gullible & naive. You either do this with a plan and exit strategy or you donβt do it at all. There is a disconnect between Dem voters & Sen leadership.

Weβre supposed to accept that Democratic leadership allowed this caliber of strategist to negotiate a deal with the most diabolical, mendacious group of politicians in American government.

βChuck Schumer was the central architect of this fiasco. Even though he negotiated the deal, he himself said on Sunday that he wonβt vote for it. He clearly prefers to let other Democrats take the fall.β

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.
*If all goes by the regular schedule
This and the airline industry lobbyists are what did it. Not Americans starving and paying twice as much for healthcare.
