Don't you mean 'at least 7 Democrats' need to lose all sense of decency' and vote to keep millions from effective health care?
Sorry, that's a Repub goal.   🙂

Millions of illegal aliens.

Did yuou not understand my very clear post above? You obviously have no idea how things work in the US Senate. Republicans need 60 votes and only have 53. To keep the government open 7 Democrats must vote yeh to pass the CR. As it is they have four so only 3 more Democrats need to vote yea to reopen the government. This is very easy to understand.

Yes, very easy to understand.

The Democrats do NOT want to destroy what we have done for American health care and will not vote to harm Americans.
I understand that Republicans just don't care about that.

The dems have done nothing for the American health care other than push the problem to the next generation.

Part of the Democrats demands repeals $50 billion in rural health care funding. So this is ok with you then?

A true patriot donated 130 million dollars to pay the military.   Do you think the dems will attempt to file an injunction against paying the military? 

 

Can you imagine being a low ranking member of the military and not getting paid?   The dems are all about the cruelty. 

 

Pentagon accepts $130 million donation to pay troops during shutdown

 

The Pentagon confirmed Friday that it has accepted an anonymous $130 million gift to help pay members of the military during the government shutdown, raising ethical questions after President Donald Trump had announced that a friend had offered the gift to defray any shortfalls.

 

While large and unusual, the gift amounts to a small contribution toward the billions needed to cover service member paychecks. The Trump administration told Congress last week that it used $6.5 billion to make payroll. The next payday is coming within the week, and it is unclear if the administration will again move money around to ensure the military does not go without compensation.

The democrats are still blocking military pay and now SNAP benefits.  It’s all about th cruelty.

The dems voted against funding food for the poor.  Talk about the cruelty.

 An uneducated comment. Republicans need 60 votes in the Senate to pass a bill and they only have 53 of the 100 seats so at least 7 Democrats must vote yea for the clean CR to pass hence it's the Democrats keeping the shutdown going.

Thats on my score card.

"Senate Democrats block government funding bill for 13th time".

The ACA is a failure.   The dems said the ACA would be revenue neutral, so they liked.  The current subsidies were passed by the dems and the dems set them to expire at the end of 2025.
