Apologies To Malaise - Let Me Make This Pellucidly Clear

Krasnov and his Magat cult do not want the shutdown to end, period, eom.

Krasnov is talking about the nuclear option to reopen the government and Adelita Grijalva gets sworn in and signs the Epstein discharge petition - I don't think so.

Congressional Magats who are saying a deal could be imminent are fucking lying, they are saying this because today is election day.

As my friend Fiendish Thingy posted, Do it, use the nuclear option.

So who’s gonna tell Maga Mike, Scalise, Dan Crenshaw, Chip Roy, MTG, and others their service is no longer required.

Here’s a gold watch and thank you for your service.

Idiots! When are these fools gonna wake up and realize ole Trumpy doesn’t need them anymore.

They sold out their country for a red hat full of lies, corruption, and greed.

Good luck with that!😉

There is no particular game theory to be applied here. The default assumption was that she would vote with the Democrats, and had she explicitly stated she would not it'd undermine her election. There is no world where she had a strategic advantage to get seated by withholding her opinion.
