Senate Moves to Vote as Democratic Defectors Relent on Shutdown

Nice phrasing there NYT …

“It looks like we’re getting very close to the shutdown ending,” Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House.

They're not the turncoats deciding to cave in and abandon healthcare.

They're making us sound weak because we ARE weak!

They're literally voting to let people die because it's just too hard to deal with Trump and his meanies. It's easier to alienate all the faithful Democrats such as myself, which I guess won't matter a whole lot to them here shortly since they're about to vote to let me die due to a lack of insurance to pay for my cancer treatments.
