Obamacare passed with no Republican votes. Obama didn't have to bribe any of them.

Too bad (for them) that the people elected Donald Trump, who has been pointing out the truth of what they are doing from the first day he became President. Truth is the one thing Democrats cannot defeat, and it always goes against their agenda.

Sounds like Mitch taught them well.

Democratic Senators are forever sneaking into the House of Representatives to filibuster. They are so sneaky, no one even realizes it.

Blatant falsehoods aside, your comparison makes no sense. Dear Leader Trump would need to bribe members of his OWN PARTY to get a funding bill passed.

So... When the Republicans actually did shut down the government, twice, I assume the invective being leveraged at Democrats was applied equally to Mitch McConnell, self-styled "Governor of Gridlock".

Good news.

The House Freedom Caucus is apparently willing to support the CR. Ryan says Republicans now have enough votes in the House to keep the doors open until Feb. 16.

Voting tonight.

“I’m concerned that we, yeah, we may not have 60 votes in the Senate,” South Dakota Sen. John Thune, the third-ranking Senate Republican, said Thursday morning. “And I think that’s obviously problematic.”

One problem is the third-ranking Senate Republican doesn't seem know how the Senate actually works.

What is the matter with these people?

[GotHereQuickAsICould]

This is nuts.

That's even better, because a lot of those incumbents are open borders globalists anyway. So we can replace them with America-loving patriots. Or at least we can try to.

I'm not sure which party you are talking about, but, either way, I think you're right.
