    I have a bad feeling this might actually be bait.

    Like they know the progressives are going to burn it down now, and do everything they can to block this deal. And what that does is let them blame the Democrats more clearly for the shutdown.

    If ending the shutdown actually leads to the Epstein files being released, it might actually work in the Democrats’ favor. I can’t see them letting the files get released, so this is the only thing that makes sense to me.

      Yeah but people are sick of the dems consistently just letting republicans control the government. That’s a decent chunk of frustration with them, and it’s a regular propaganda tool of the republicans
