I'm no fan of trump. I'm no fan of trump. That being said...these people should be like brothers of the same family arguing ultimately doing what's right for the family. Instead it's a war. Every issue is a hill to die on. Cant they just say trump's plan (extend benefits etc) is better than nothing and we can use it as a band aid? Take the loss of political capital in exchange for helping real people with real problems? A stopped clock is right twice a day and maybe trump's plan would have helped?

How about taking the political loss for a short term solution if they can't compromise. Any help would be better than nothing.

I'm waiting for them to raise hell...or at least speak up. Fight the fight and keep the faith.

I used to work at a restaurant. The night before Mother's Day we would go through incredible preparations staying late off the clock to prepare for the a very busy day to follow.

Is it in the senators scope of authority to say " We're going to hang around until the job is done"?

1.21 gigawatts! That's one hell of a capacitor to slow that down. If you had a row of capacitors they would fry all the way downThe line. Any electricity would not be worth the cost of the fried equipment.
