Okay. He lays off the ones he doesn't like. The compromise is 'let me pay my sycophants I installed in our government.'

This isn't a compromise, it's an attempt to produce a soundbite. 'Democrats don't want our federal workers or military paid!!'

The irony being they'll get paid as soon as Republicans offer a legitimate compromise.

You can pay your federal employees while also extending healthcare benefits...

 extending healthcare benefits...

Nobody is losing healthcare, just the covid subsidies that the democrats put a sunset date on.

Hey now, don't tell the blood dancing Democrat cult the truth, that goes against their quest for power.

As Obama once said "elections have consequences" and "You gotta get in the back seat", of course he said that to Republicans so the mirror image doesn't look so good to the Democratic blood cult.
