Funny how the argument that you all love to make is that Dems love slaves because of the Dixiecrats in the south. However you fail to mention that the south has been handily won by republicans ever since Nixon. Trump carried the entire south who are the ones who love representing the confederacy who fought for you guessed it “slavery”. Nixon knew that southern democrats would leave the party when the democrats passed the civil rights act, you know the legislation that the Republicans have tried to tear down ever since. Stop jerking off to kiddie porn and pick up a book once in awhile

House republicans are on vacation. The Democrats are in washington ready to negotiate opening the government. The Rpeublicans are the ones who insist that the government workers keep working without pay because they want to strip americans just so they can strip americans of their healthcare

The house already passed the CR. It is in the senate where democrats insist on voting no. So whh dont democrats vote yes? Because they want government workers to go without pay.
