You know what? I started to write all this stuff but fuck it. I'm done. Democrats need to give up and just let Republicans do whatever they want. Never vote for or against it but never filibuster it or stop it. No compromises or negotiations, just pure, unfiltered, Republican grift.
People have no idea how much pain and suffering Democrats are currently preventing but it's time the federal unions and everyone else to find out
