    ‘Blink’, is a funny way to spell ‘bend over and spread open’.

      That isn’t negotiation, it’s stress-induced capitulation.

      It’s fucking collaboration is what it is.

      None of the senators are up for reflection next year, and all of the representatives are retiring next year. None of them will face a consequence for this

    I’m actually surprised Schumer isn’t among the spinless capitulators, this time.

      It seems he was behind them, just too cowardly to put his name to it publicly:

    Distraction … endless distraction.

    That is what America politics has become. It’s been like that a little in the past but now it will be the norm.

    Endless nonsense and crisis … just crisis after crisis.

    The US government has basically fallen. It doesn’t work as intended anymore and does the opposite.
