To one and all,

[MarineCombatEngineer]

I apologize if I sound somewhat pissed off tonight about the caving of certain Dems on the CR, I'm getting a wee bit drunk, something I haven't done in decades.
I'm pissed off beyond belief at these Sen. for screwing us even though we had, and I mean, had, the momentum going into the mid terms and these Dem. Sen. just threw it all away.

[applegrove]

1. We'll have to disagree on the momentum. ACA failure

will destroy the 45% of ACA customers who are Republican.

[vanlassie]

2. And they will KNOW who did it to them.

[applegrove]

14. This shut down let the cats out of multiple bags.

Republicans will know who helped and who doubled down on punishing Americans for existing and not being rich.

[travelingthrulife]

32. All they have to do is go on tv and say it is the fault of Democrats.

[quakerboy]

21. A Bipartizan coalition.

[usonian]

8. And 45% of ACA customers who are Republican will blame Democrats for kicking their subsidies down the road to perdition.

"They could have saved it, but they didn't"

I'll bet on it.

[luv2fly]

3. No need for apologies

A lot of us are pissed off, well... except for the "moderate" apologists that is.

[Egwinsi]

4. Don't apologize

Many Ds, me included, are rightfully pissed we wasted that momentum just to end up in a worse spot than before. But, happy birthday to the Marine Corps. Thank you for keeping Crayola in business

[MarineCombatEngineer]

6. LOL.

You just made my night.
Well played

[Permanut]

26. Navy vet here..

and thanks to my US Marine grandson, I see what you did there.

[Bread and Circuses]

5. We're all feeling 🔩🔩🔩

[Sogo]

7. I think once you sober up, you'll see it differently.

The withholding of SNAP benefits was at a crisis point. And air travel is a nightmare right now, just prior to the busiest travel holiday of the year.

How would you like to be facing winter weather and have nothing to eat or to feed your family? Something had to be done for 42 million Americans, 40% of which are children.


The healthcare fight will continue, and Republicans know they are still on the hook for it.

[Silent Type]

9. Pretty much where I am, though still disappointing. Still think we have decent chance on ACA subsidies.

[markie]

29. hmmm

I don't know, republicans hate the ACA (only because it is 'ObamaCare') so much, the hate supersedes any concern they may have for people or healthcare

[JustAnotherGen]

27. Depends on where you live

New Jerseyans wouldn't have starved.

But we have a sane state house in Trenton.

I hope those state's where the turn coats are don't get one lick of snow this winter. Heaven forbid rich folks in flat states can't fly to Vermont to ski this winter.

[rampartd]

30. no one has been fed yet, and plenty of people are cold.

the house still has to approve this, and that gets tricky because of epstein.

[BigmanPigman]

10. No THANKSgiving for me and no MERRY Christmas either!!!!

I decided to skip Thanksgiving again since I am definitely NOT" thankful" and I will not be "merry" at Christmastime. I am not a hypocrite and it takes too much out of me to "act" happy. I'm pooped! Over 30 protests, fighting and calling reps, etc and I am out of energy. Congrats MAGA, you wiped me out in every way possible.

I hope when I die I can somehow come back and get revenge (I mean it!).

[Eko]

11. Here you go buddy

Keep on keeponing, and I am with some beers also!
Eko

[FoxNewsSucks]

12. You have nothing to apologize for

Those who aren't pissed off are the ones who should be apologizing. Along with the suckups who enable the appeasers.

[SunImp]

13. They seem to be hush hush right now

Earlier though there was the typical cope article essentially justifying the actions of the Dems who voted to end the shutdown. Many of them hid there

[gab13by13]

15. We know that not renewing the subsidies will kill 50,000 people per year.

With the gutting of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, VA, etc. many millions more will die.

I am betting that Project 2025 wants to kill unwashed Americans so I have little faith that Magats will restore the subsidies, all they are required to do is negotiate.

The billionaires expect AI to replace unwashed Americans, they want our herd to be culled. When millions of us die there will be more food available for who is left.

[angrychair]

16. I crash out too

Probably not the argument I think it is but I'm a passionate person, what can I say. 😊

[RainCaster]

17. I'm with you

I'm so pissed that those yahoos caved. I'm stuck away from home and the flights home would be a problem for me & the Mrs. But we're pissed because we have up the only power we had and we got nothing in return. I am drafting a long public letter to my senator, it won't be kind.

[flying-skeleton]

18. 10 cowarding traitors

These traitorous senators better have gotten rich from surrendering because they just ended their political careers and will have to live their lives in shame ‼️

I will donate to every one who primaries these traitors ‼️

[ms.pamela]

19. Anger

Hey, don't feel like you need to apologize, you have been mild compared to what is up on BlueSky. People are really, really mad.

[fujiyamasan]

20. Don't apologize

A lot of us are pissed, and for the right reason. I would rather democratic leadership had not yanked our chain for weeks now, acting like they cared enough to put up a fight, just to extract no concessions, and then roll over.

I’m more pissed at this point about the drama. I’m pissed that they act shocked that Trump and the republicans would weaponize SNAP.

I’m less pissed about the result, but more of the theater. Was this just about winning the Virginia governors race and the impact this had on federal workers? Because that’s pretty short sighted.

It’s a great way to further destroy people’s confidence in the party. Most people won’t know the details and simply chalk this up to simply “playing politics”.

[vercetti2021]

22. Why are you apologizing?

You didn't do anything fucking wrong. The people who should apologize are the blind ones who still think the old fart establishment are governing in good faith.

[JoseBalow]

24. Dafuq?

[orangecrush]

25. No apology necessary

IMHO

[Irish_Dem]

28. You have no need to apologize.

If we stop getting angry at the bullshit and evil, then we are just like Maggats.

[lark]

31. I am 100% with you, minus the alcohol. Did smoke more yesterday night - pure escapism for me.

They all knowingly voted to completely gut healthcare in America and they know R's will never give it back! They already had a vote on this in the Senate and ALL the R;s voted against it, I believe. I know for sure it failed and will 100% fail again unless Dems cooperate on the gutting.
