13. And here's the money quote on and from Thune . . .

He has also pledged Trump is ready to negotiate with Democrats on reducing health care costs as soon as the government is open again.

“The president does like to negotiate, and I don’t know where that would lead. I can’t predict that. That’s what I told the Democrats here, that I can’t guarantee an outcome or result,” Thune said Thursday afternoon.

Yeah, Trump likes to negotiate, the Great Deal Maker. Thune cannot guarantee an outcome or result but . . .

Trust us after all the shitty things we've allowed Agent Orange to get away with including his past comments on the ACA and his 'concept of a plan' rhetoric. Trust us to feed the poor, allow ACA subsidies to continue and oh, btw, all you need to do is capitulate, surrender, get on your knees to make us do the right thing.

Really?

This is the plan under consideration?

Count me as a strong NO, even though I don't have a seat at the table. But for those whose representatives are on the 'moderate' list supporting this BS? Phones should be ringing off the hook with expressions of absolute disgust. No one likes a surrender monkey when the country is in a struggle for its very existence. Republicans glibly talk about "trust us" while the likes of Sean Duffy is threatening to cancel all airline flights before the Thanksgiving holiday. Does this sound like an Administration that is willing to compromise on anything?

These are not negotiators, they're extortionists and arsonists. Do your job and act accordingly!
