“Democratic support for a potential deal to reopen the government has crumbled because of deep mistrust among Senate Democrats over whether they can trust President Trump to act in good faith to extend health insurance subsidies or to stop firing federal workers,” NewsNation reports.

How about we don't reopen until tsf has left office. Might that work?

I don't know how people are going to make it this year between the high grocery prices and the unaffordable healthcare and housing

Justice matters.

Trump never negotiates in good faith and has a long history of screwing over everyone.

11. Schumer was just on CNN with the Dems new proposal.

Says the Dems are united and will agree to open the government with a one year extension of subsidies and the formation of a study group (forget the exact term) to determine the future of the subsidies. Sounds very reasonable, which probably means the Rs won't bite.

Can we trust any of them?
How can we hold them accountable?
None of them are worthy of our trust.

If nothing else he'll forget he made a deal, and then insist "we" made it up.
Anything to hurt anyone else by way of making him look more powerful is Epstein's bff's SOP.

Also:
I can not remember the Doctor Who episode.
But the Cybermen would make agreements and then break them because they viewed any agreements with humans meaningless.

16. Until Trump shows any leadership skills, there will be no deal

He has zero skills, so I am pessimistic. The dude sucks at everything. Who voted for this loser? Morons and racists, but they got to eat too. I don't get it and I never will. I never saw anything but a pile of shit when I see the Trump family. I cant understand anyone that sees anything in his soulless eyes.
