1. That was the Chuck Schumer strategy back in March

when he orchestrated voting for the CR. What happened after that? Congressional Magats passed Krasnov's Big Ugly Death Bill that gutted our social safety net.

Going back to yesterday when 9 Senate Democrats voted against the vast majority of Congressional Democrats.

I can picture Krasnov in the Oval Office now, with Magats all around him, with John Thune the big star, and Krasnov giving a speech about how Democrats shut down the government and how Congressional Magats reopened it. The press will eat it up.

The 50,000 Americans who die every year because the Obamacare subsidies were not renewed will all die in quiet silence, good affordable healthcare in America will be relegated to the rich. People on Medicare, Medicaid, the VA will see their healthcare deteriorate and millions more will die. It will be left up to AI and not to doctors who lives and dies. With millions of Americans dead there will be more food left for those who survive.

Don't get sick, remember the Democrat who said that years ago?
