  1. The GOP already turned it down. This Thanksgiving is going to be very VERY interesting for travelers. Thank God I’m staying put.

  2. Seems like a no brainer to me.

    1. Government open
    2. Health care subsidies extended another year
    3. Bipartisan committee to start negotiations for a permanent fix for the subsidies

    Will Republicans vote for it though..

  3. It’s absolutely wild to me that a very reasonable offer to open the government with a 1 year extension for ACA coverage is met with NO, fuck murica and all you pesky plebs. They aren’t even trying to hide the fact that they couldn’t care less about you or your family.

  4. they’re crazy dying on the hill of aca subsidies that are LESS than what they gave to argentina. it’s foolish, cuz when premiums are official for 26 people are going to be furious and blame the party that is ending them.

  5. The offer was actually so simple to understand, that rejecting it literally just sounds like “fuck poor Americans” to everyone.

    If I’m Democrats I’m pointing out what was offered and then mentioning that Argentina had no problem getting $40 billion in tax dollars from Republicans.

    Democrats, for once, seem to have almost all the leverage even though they have no majorities.

  6. I want to feel some kind of way about this like “haha wow republicans get fucked in the next election” but I’m just sitting here thinking, what’s the point? If somebody’s enough quarts short of a gallon to _still_ blame the dems for the shutdown then nothing is going to change their mind.

  7. Next week the offer should be extended again but add a year to the subsidies and restoring Medicare/Medicaid funding. Then after that is rejected add another year and USAID funding restored. Just keep upping the ante every time.

  8. Political hostage taking??? What the fuck do they think Republicans are currently doing???

    The problem for Republicans is this deal requires changing the existing bill.

    Which would mean the House has to reopen.

    Which means Representative Grijalva gets sworn in

    Which means there’s 218 votes in the house to release the Epstein files

    And since the GOPs on belief these days is that Pedophiles need to be protected, the Guardians of Pedophiles cant agree to the deal.

    LOL I wasn’t a fan of this deal when I heard about it but I didn’t think the republicans would be so stupid as to reject it

  11. So the gop wants it to reopen but when democrats propose A PLAN TO REOPEN they fucking reject it? No, this is about Republicans wanting to strip away health care completely. If they had such a good plan for health care they would’ve released info but haven’t because they dont have a plan and never will. They want it completely one sided to benefit only them

    Honestly, I’m glad the republicans were stupid enough to turn it down. It was a political gift for Republicans that would push the issue just beyond the midterms. Schumer is a political moron.

  13. Republicans don’t want the government open under any circumstances. They need utter chaos to push forward the dictatorship.

  14. They won’t do it. This goes on indefinitely because once it opens the Epstein files come out. 
    We are totally broken. 

  15. Republicans don’t want to reopen the government because then the Epstein files get handed over to congress and they want to protect child abusers.

  16. Republicans run every part of government, Dems trying to negotiate and they’ll STILL say it’s democrats fault.

  17. Considering that the Republicans would have technically gotten a win out of this, this really begs the question as to if they even want to even reopen the government at all.

  18. The red hats created this problem and they’re not going to let the “fanatical liberal left” get credit for solving it. So here we are😐

    Republicans want the shut down. At this point, they don’t want it back ever is my assumption.

    Trying to radicalize their populace, however it is radicalizing against them. Because the U.S.A. Is if not anything else, an Anti-Fascist establishment.

    We will not have this. Republicans, Democrats, people of all faiths. This is not what we believe in.

    Nothing easier to volunteer against, than a potentially fascist “President” who acts like a king. While he professes his romantic perceptions of dictatorships.

    We need the No Kings Act.

  20. They don’t want the Epstein files released! They are in a mess . If they open the government they’ll have to swear in the rep from Arizona , that will give them enough votes to release the Epstein files. Trump name must be all over in them.

  21. Since the republicans refused this deal, up it. Tell them now it includes limits on ICE. By the time they get desperate you’ll have a lot of room to negotiate.
