    Hey hey hey! The crossed the aisle to create a historic bipartisan agreement to reopen it!

    Checks notes: ah yes, see? Brilliant negotiations! The gop got everything, and the dems got assurance that they will have a vote on the aca benefits! I mean, the vote will just be no, but come on, what skill! Truly, no one could have squeeze more from the deal!

          The dems are truly masters of the art of the deal. All it took was a little bit of immiseration and they got some votes and an excuse to let the republicans set up their plan to cut welfare. They didn’t even have to miss thanksgiving.
