So all 55 Republican senators were voting to reopen the government this entire time, and it only required 5 Democratic senators to vote yes to reopen it. Then why did the media and democrats keep calling it a “Republican shutdown?”

Because republicans have full control of the government. The only “demand” from democrats was that republicans extend the health insurance subsidies for those who have nothing to prevent the massive spikes in costs and millions from losing insurance.

Republicans refused. Yet they jumped at the chance to extend billionaire tax cuts earlier this year without any hesitation.

Same reason why the Republicans kept calling it a Democrat shutdown: party over country.

Sadly accurate ☝️

Because they control both houses and the White House and could have compromised/negotiated at any point, which is what Congress is supposed to do.

At this point my response is just “go ahead, FAFO”. See what happens when you mess with the day to day lives of regular people. They will not have party loyalty and vote for whatever solution will end the problem. Between SNAP, healthcare increases, and billionaire tax cuts, the Republican Party has sealed its fate. Even Elon said it would be the end of the party if they passed the BBB.

Everyone please stop feeding the trolls. OP has been trolling in this bowl posting pro trump messages for at least the last week. You can’t reason with people like this. There is nothing we can say that will change his mind. He’s here because he gets off on arguing with strangers online. This is not supposed to be a political bowl.

Don’t comment on these posts the next time they come up and starve him of the conflict and feeling of self righteousness he’s come here looking for.

The haters don’t realize that it was the minority or Democrats who had the power to reopen. How many votes did it take to? It was the Democrats choosing to extend the shutdown. I understand that facts don’t matter to them, however, just hate.

Because there was always the “nuclear” option which was ending the 60 vote rule. Also, TDS.

Because millions of liberals are too ignorant to realize that the shutdown was a direct result of the Dema actually being the party with the ability to end it or keep it going. This is a case of minority rules.

Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
