Yes, Senator Thune said he's willing to give Democrats all the things they want, but only after they reopen the government amid the ongoing shutdown. He's repeatedly offered votes on their priorities, like Obamacare subsidies and food aid, once basic funding is secured. This reflects his push for bipartisanship without letting demands hold operations hostage.

Which is fine. Give them a vote on anything they won't. There are not enough RINOs in the Senate for them to get any of it past the 60 vote threshold.

Not the same as giving it to them. They still need the votes to pass and hopefully won’t have them.

Giving them a vote is not giving them what they want. I hate Thune, but this is a flat out lie.

A vote that won’t pass.

The dems simply want tv ads for the midterms.

I hate the republican establishment even more than I hate democrats. And hate them both more than cats. My opinion of cats is the only good ones are dead ones.

Giving them votes on the things they want is not “giving them what they want”

This. The OP title is misleading. Also, there appeared to be some momentum around the "give them a vote" compromise, but that seems to be fading today as more Democrats come out against it.

Yep, Republicans have idiots that cannot see that bending on their own will to pass conservative bills is better than appeasing Democrats and help them defeat Republican policies.

If you are not moving toward a positive gain, you are losing ground. It is as simple as that.

This sounds more like voting on these items alone rather than including them in the appropriations bill


Basically give them a vote he knows will fail. It’s just an effort to make the republicans look like they’re trying to work with them. All about optics

They can pass whatever. Trump can veto.

quote:

Catholics in medieval Europe often viewed cats negatively due to their association with witchcraft and heresy, particularly after Pope Gregory IX declared that cats bore Satan's spirit, leading to widespread persecution. This belief was fueled by the idea that cats were linked to evil practices and were seen as untrustworthy creatures that operated outside human control.

The Catholic church got millions killed. Serving the flock first, as always.

Long before my time. Didn't say I kill cats, just think the only good ones are dead ones. The point was that establishment repubs and democrats are even worse than cats. Effectively, even dead establishment repubs and dems are worthless.
