Democratic support for a potential deal to reopen the government has crumbled because of deep mistrust among Senate Democrats over whether they can trust Trump to act in good faith to extend health insurance subsidies or to stop firing federal workers.
Senate Democrats on Thursday rejected an emerging proposal to reopen the government that would have linked a stopgap funding bill known as a continuing resolution to three full-year appropriations bills funding military construction, veterans’ affairs, the Department of Agriculture and the legislative branch.
Democratic senators discussed the proposal at lunch and concluded that it did not include strong enough assurances that Trump and the Republican-controlled House would renew enhanced health insurance subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that are due to expire in January.
Let this be a a lesson to Republicans! No-one fools a Democrat 3456 times! 3455 is the number they’ll finally learn to not fall for your bullshit!
Weird that the lyingest liar of all liars, the treasonous, traitorous, rapist felon is sus!

The answer to that question is always NO. It’s always Cash Up Front with Trump. You never trust him to keep his word. Ever.
Why get a guarantee to work later? Work fucking now and get it done now you numbskulls.
It’s good to see that the opposition party is finally doing some opposing and clearly recognizing that the other side isn’t acting in good faith and will never act in good faith. The government shut down harms everyone, but it is tough medicine that is necessary to avoid the constant steamrollering that has happened again and again in the past. Sometimes you have to stand up and fight, even if it means taking a few bruises.
Nope. The government reopens AFTER demands are met, not before.
Republicans don’t negotiate, they lie. Never negotiate with liars.
If you can’t sign a deal now why the fuck would we trust you to sign it later without our leverage
What is this? Establishment Dems exercising basic pattern recognition for once?
You know he won’t. Bad Faith is his middle-fucking name.
Act on good faith… The fuck! Even if it’s in writing he ignores it. Why would anyone negotiate with him or his party while they are in power. They showed their hand.
Dude needs to be permanently removed from the board.
The board?
The Board, for the game of Life.
Such a shit sandwich. Cannot trust Repugnants, nor Trump to do anything they “agree” upon.
