    Un-freaking-believable. Dems are like Charlie Brown, who just never learns that Lucy will always yank the ball away.

    Countdown to GOP reneging on any and all ‘agreements’ they made to get this vote …

      No, don’t do that. Don’t assume stupidity; it’s how they keep getting away with this. Dem leadership is determined to be a party of controlled opposition. There’s quite credible reporting that Shumer, despite voting ‘no’, coordinated all the ‘yes’ votes in a meeting beforehand. All this was nothing but theater for the masses.
