And he just voted to take away the access to the healthcare theyll need as a result of that violence.
Hes not on the frontline so what does he care? Hes retiring with a cushy nest egg and premium healthcare for the rest of his life

(11,468 posts)The whole point of the shutdown was healthcare and they completely caved after 40 days of suffering and people in food lines and failed to achieve the whole fucking reason they forced us into shutdown in the first place.
A "promise" of a vote is a bag of magic beans. They were scammed.
Now millions of people will die.

(14,657 posts)If a vote was all we wanted, there was no point in a shutdown. His particular vote in a meaningless bit of theater is beyond irrelevant.
We should be ostracizing those who voted to give trump this win.

His state is also home to O'Hare airport, one of the largest and busiest in the nation, with millions wanting to travel for Thanksgiving and airlines cancelling thousands of flights.
