On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “AC360,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) responded to a question on if he thinks the government funding bill is an overall win by stating that it’s better than a shutdown and the funding bill that was voted down on Thursday, and “given where we were, this was probably the best possible solution. But, of course, it was not what we had agreed to, originally. There were six weeks of arduous negotiation and then bipartisan agreement to a deal that got blown up by a tweet.”
Host Jim Sciutto asked, “So, House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), he described this bill, to your caucus, as an overall win for the American people. Why? Do you agree with that?”

THe dems asked for a happy ending and got blue baws instead.
Is it possible the strategy from the beginning was to let the Democrats think they were getting everything they wanted until it was too late?
The only reason any kind of deal got done is because those scumbags in Congress didn’t want to mess up their Christmases. There are precious few in Congress that give a rip about America or Americans.
If Raskin doesn’t like it, it must be pretty good.

Excellent point. It looks more and more that Trump & Co are learning from their mistakes, and are playing not only 4D chess, but 4D MMA.
...and just like that - a ray of cleansing, transparent light is cast upon the stinking pile of poo...
That was my reaction. Between that and the picture of the two deals printed out, sitting on a table, said to me it was a huge improvement.
It’s not what I agreed to either, so suck it up.
This negotiation with Johnson must have been similar to a gang rape. Johnson is a submissive weakling.
What a thing a beauty that tweet was.
Blown up by public awareness. They would prefer to rule without consent of the governed.
It’s only 3 months.
And the new Congress will have a smaller GOP House majority.
FR is full to the brim with people marching around talking about how spending on Trump’s agenda will now happen.
Trump’s agenda is to NOT spend. There will be money required for deportations, but it will have to come from other places, and make no mistake here, the population is growing and there are essentially no “other places” to get it.
You want reduced spending? Good luck.
This could all have been avoided months ago with an annual budget, like America used to do. Every CR is a manufactured crisis for the TV audience.
Bernie Sanders said it was months of negotiation.
One of you is lying.
Rickrolled!

And thank God for that tweet!

Everyone but everyone knew the house would never pass it so lets call it...introductory legislature created by, with and for the Democrats...lol...
And then....all of a sudden there appeared 118 pages...
With little time left, they worked and they worked...finally...at last...they passed a bill with absolutely nothing for the Dems.
And as Kamala would say...everyone was filled with "JOY"...

Asskissin on if Funding Bill Is a Win: It’s Not What We’d Agreed To as it doesn’t help us destroy the Republic
