    1. Just a reminder for everyone feeling the pain: Members of the House of Representatives have collected over $20,000 in pay for being out of session and either sitting on their asses at home or in the case of Mike Johnson, self-righteously pontificating about how it is Democrats fault that the Republican Speaker of the House is keeping the House closed.

      It appears that Dick Cheney has finished his 84-year vacation on earth and has returned to the darkness from whence he came.

      Conservatives never believed in public governance. For them, everything has to be private. Trump only had to pick 20 misfits to destroy quickly the federal government. „Communist“ China has an easy time defeating the U.S. with its weak government, a bankrupt government in fact, bankrupt morally and economically.

      Man these polls for Trump are brutal. He keeps doubling down as well and his supporters are burying their heads in the sand ignoring the downfall.

      That stuff on 60 minutes about pardoning the guy he is in business with is going to hang over his head his whole Presidency. They claimed Biden was pardoning people he didn’t know about and people his family was doing business without evidence. Trump just went on live tv and admitted doing both.

      Awesome stuff!

      >Senators and aides involved in negotiations tell us some Senate Democrats are warming to Thune’s offer to open the government and then hold a vote by a date-certain on extending the expiring Obamacare subsidies. Senators involved in these talks include Gary Peters (D-Mich.), Katie Britt (R-Ala.), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) and Mike Rounds (R-S.D.).

      I hope there isn’t enough democrats to vote yes.

      It is time for Democrats to dare explain that Republicans control the government, that Republicans know how to get what they want when they control government, that Democrats could not stop Republicans from installing Neil Gorsuch into the deciding seat of the Supreme Court then, and Democrats cannot stop Republicans now from either cutting off or continuing food and medical programs.

      The polls may be bad, but they should be much much worse.
