"Once again, what Republicans are proposing is so odious that Democrats cannot be seen to have voted for it, lest their own voters turn on them."


OR....maybe the Democrats are trying their best in their minority to help Americans while MAGAts destroy the country?

"The president, he has asserted, has the power to cancel congressionally-approved spending by using a 'pocket rescission,' which would see the administration refusing to spend money on programs it doesn’t support.

Under those circumstances, why should Democrats sign on to a deal with the Republicans when Trump will simply refuse to honor it? Any compromise struck with the president is not worth the paper it’s printed on."


Apparently Ms. Parton and members of her family are not dependent upon government funding of any kind to SURVIVE.

Shut down government funding and say goodbye to a huge chunk of Americans.

But that'll show the MAGAts the Dem spine!!

And myopic progressives who are determined to support MAGAts by attempting to divide Democrats. AGAIN.

Maybe Ms. Parton should run for office and show those spineless Dems what for!

Unrec and boo!!
