The Dems love to demonstrate their good faith by repeatedly rolling over and agreeing to everything the GOP wants. They are continually outmaneuvered by a nakedly-perfidious turtle man and have been rewarded for their good deeds by losing election after election. Maybe actually taking a stand on something at a time where the GOP was looking really dumb for shutting down the government would have been a good plan, but nope gotta sacrifice ourselves at the altar of bipartisanship again.

The lol is for all the optimism that McConnell will actually keep a promise.

Reminder that the Democrats had a SCOTUS seat stolen out from under them after months of attempting to be the adults in the room.

I'm going to take the unpopular opinion that maybe Congress should at least try to fund the government and negotiate on bills, at least for the time being.

The Democrats can demonstrate good faith, and if the Republicans make them eat poo poo for doing so, then the Democrats can shutdown the government again.

Trump's gonna speak today supposively. This will serve up some lols.

Folks, and wow, what a crowd we have. So many coming out to support this, the grand opening of the government after the shutdown.

I was deeply, deeply involved in the negotiations this weekend to save us from a shutdown. But the Schumer Shutdown, that's what everyone is calling it. They wouldn't deal and we shut down. I said "fine, let it shut down, I'll pay everyone!". I really did, believe me.

That Friday, the woman who cleans the Oval Office, she came up to me.

"Meester Trump! Meester President! Why are the Democrats shutting down? This is no BWEN-NO"

That's what she said, she was a legal immigrant from Spanish... from Mexico. Great woman, great cleaner. I told her, I'm sorry, they just hate America, and she agreed with me. And sadly, the Oval Office has not been cleaned since then. Now there's a real... well, you know that word. That word the FAKE NEWS is claiming I said. Which I never did, never once.

You know, it's one year. One year since I became the President of this great country. That's why they did it, folks, they want it. Want me to look bad, but you know what? I can't look bad, I'm doing too much great stuff with the taxes and jobs. The jobs! Biggest jobs market in history, most growth in history, most houses in history. Can you believe that?

The government shut down. And unfortunately, thousands of people lost their lives. Those lives are on the hands.... in the heads of the Democrats. And I hope they realize that and never sssscchhut downsss againchhhhh. Thankssssch, Happy New Year, Happy Valentine's Day, and have a wonderful day.

It's a long-time Democrat tradition to never actually stand for anything, just to make ineffectual flailing gestures at the opposition.

They are like the doormat in a marriage who constantly gives up in an argument because "you gotta know when to pick your battles" only they give up every battle and then the one time they want to pick the color of paint for the new house there is a big fight and they still don't end up getting what they want

ie: as long as the CRs keep expiring before the election and causing more shutdowns that's kind of a great way to let the repubs punch themselves in the balls over & over again leading up to the election

Yes. Besides making it more of an issue, they could have just ended the filibuster (Which McConnell did for a bunch of nominations as soon as they got in [though not SCOTUS noms])

I thought the Democrats didn't push the Garland thing because Hillary was a shoe-in to win and then could have appointed an even more left leaning judge and would have checkmated the Republicans

Seemed like a pretty big issue to me but ???

Was there a reason beyond being the big kids that they didn't kill the filibuster? Did it require a rule change they didn't want to do? I can't remember any of the specifics anymore.

The GOP/media would have crucified them for "radical" moves because the same standard doesn't apply to both sides but no, ending the filibuster only requires 51 votes as it is a rule change.
