They didn't pinch the filibuster because of the ramifications it could have in the future. More SC justices, Puerto Rico and DC statehood etc. I said this before, why should the R's have to change the law in order to get this done when all the D's had to do was vote to continue--as they had before. The dems tried to strong arm this and they came out of it looking exceptionally weak. Yeah, you're right...depending on the media, either side will claim the others lost here. Not a shocking thing. But I am going with my opinion, saying the R's failed the people because they didn't change the law in order to work around a D hissy fit is absurd. . Unlike like what I see from most D's, the R's were using reason and understanding that blowing up the filibuster would be very bad in the long term. Strategic thinking...Something I feel is lacking with the D's. Now, the spite thing? Yeah not a fan. But the thing is, others have done it in the past and would do it again. What the D's are struggling with is Trump will actually say the quiet part out loud. He has no filter. Affordable health care? It's only affordable because the gubbermint is subsidizing it. That's why. Now if you are in the camp of the subsidies are ok in your world, I respect that. But the ACA has cause MASSIVE increases in health care costs. So now the gubbermint has to spend more and more and more to cover what was a poorly designed health plan. And that's generally how gubbermint works, throw more money at a bad problem. Amtrak and the postal service immediately come to mind. There are a lot of things about this President I do not like. Lots. But I will not agree that this was the R's fault for the shutdown. The D's rolled the dice and came up craps.

Funny thing is..If the democrats had just voted for the CR< the same CR they voted for in the past. None of this would have had to happen. So this is entirely on the democrats for causing this stress on the american people. I enjoy the left trying so hard to blame Trump, when in fact, they could have stopped this before it ever got started.

There's a fallacy that the left operates under. That of...Democrats care about people, republicans don't. That's false and has always been false. both parties care about 2 things...Votes and power. That's it.

Im all for anyone connected with epsteins illegal crap being exposed. That being said. These two have nothing to do with each other. The dems are getting killed over their deliberately shutting down the government. Then giving in and gaining absolutely nothing. It was a childish play that of course backfired on them massively. Now, does that mean the younger dems are happy about all of this? Sure. Liberal thinking is bad enough, childish liberal thinking is outright dangerous.

Yeah. There isn't much agreement on Tim's position. From either side. the shutdown further exposed how fractured the democrats are. It didn't help their cause at all. Almost no one agrees this was in anyway good for the dems. Even MSDNC disagrees with Tim. But remember, he is smarter than literally everyone that lives today. So keep that in mind

Interesting quote from that article. And here many liberals here were blaming the republicans. Hmmmmm

Hmmm.....Sureeeeee.....

Home prices would be hella cheaper if the gubbermint subsidized them

Its a legal battle. And it makes sense. The republican party has been focused on stopping these judges from places like Rhode Island overstepping their authority. It's beyond SNAP. It's about procedure and who can dictate what. That's why

@Fnordhates cats.

I think AA Ron Glenn saved his job for this year

Pish posh. As a matter of FACT. yesterday before the Lions game, I laid on my couch to take a quick 1/2 hour snooze. Something felt off. So I got up, grabbed my cat Molly, and put her on my lap while I napped. And she stayed. And I was thinking "who wouldn't like this" You're inhuman PS. I have a dog too.

Add Stephen A Smith to that list. Why I continue to see videos or clips of him talking about politics baffles me. Shutup and do sports man

Ditto. Wife uses those bags for litter. And sorry, anyone that says "another reason I don't own cats" is dead to me(kidding @Fnord. I love my cats. Couldn't possibly imagine a house without them.

Its Tim man. He kinda makes things up as he goes along. At this point its easier to just let it go.
