Republicans rejected the Democrats' healthcare deal. Republicans continue to own the shutdown. And Trump leaves to golf at Mar A Largo. Mike Johnson refuses to bring the House back from their months-long vacation. Republican senators won't work with the Democrats. Trump's answer is to end the filibuster and then flee to Florida. Meanwhile the American people suffer and pay the consequences of an ineffective and worthless Republican-led government. Republicans don't care about the American people. They, led by their stupid and unfit president, have no clue how to govern or any desire to attempt to govern properly. The American people are watching. Most of us aren't stupid. We know who owns the shutdown. We know who is showing up to try and work. Republicans will pay for their ineptitude.
