Shoutout to these 6 Reps that (also) voted for the Dem plan

The last one was surprising, Mittens putting his votes where his mouth is.
The "Democrat" proposal was the bill that passed unanimously in the Senate back in December right?
This is Michael Bennet, senator from Colorado

Six Republicans broke with Trump's bullshit, and he focuses on getting one Democrat. He can't process losing. He can't admit that this is a terrible idea and that Republicans are getting tired of his shit.
This dude is furious, I love the passion.
His rage comes from the fact that people have died in his state because of a government shutdown cutting off emergency services and aid.
How many people have to die to make a fellow senator see that shutting down a government for trivial politics threatens the lives of all?
Well Zodiac Ted isn't going to be super fussed about people dying due to his actions, obviously.
I'm fully expecting the Magats to use that clip against that senator "haha look at this cuck he's almost crying lmao build the wall hahahaha btfo lmao". Holy shit, it's almost like people who have been personally or indirectly impacted by bullshit, or who can at least emphasise with people who have suffered due to petty politics from the right are mad. It's almost as if, gasp! they care! More politicians need to drop the facade of being logical, cold, uncaring machines and start getting mad. Start making noise. Civility only goes so far in dire situations like this. And it works well for obscuring just how severely fucked things are when the people who should be fixing it just sound bored.
Mitt deserves zero credit lol. He's trying to play both sides of the fence on this shit -- talking about how desperately we need a wall from one side of his mouth while pretending to be a moral beacon against Trump's corruption on the other. Voting for a bill he knew would fail is nothing. When it comes down to crunch time, I'll shit in my hat if he actually breaks from the party line on anything of any significance. Dude's worse than flake.
In Republican-majority Senate, the Republican proposal got less votes than its Democratic counterpart. That ain't great
If they gave a fuck, they'd vote to recall Mitch McConnell as Majority Leader and end this shitshow.
You need to watch the whole thing.
You have to remember that Ted Cruz is the same asshole who voted against federal aid for hurricane victims on the east coast and then begged for federal aid when Texas got hit by a hurricane.
If I represented an entire state that lost federal help after a huge disaster because of TED FUCKING CRUZ I would be hard pressed not to beat his ass
And it wasn't just any hurricane, it was Sandy.
The worst part is that Trump straight up wants Cali's disaster and fire funding snuff
He basically wants people to die
I'm sure the migrants are happily "living" in Tijuana, scraping by with their makeshift tents and abundant poverty.
the amount of bullshit this guy spews is ridiculous.
Hopefully this is a sign of things turning but I'm not convinced a solid number of Rs won't just dig their heels in and continue this game of chicken until we're dragged over a cliff.
