Its fucked up.

“Republicsns, can you agree to extend this program?”

“Yes we can.”

“Democrats, can you agree to extend this program?”

“Yes we can.”

Great! A rare bipartisan support! And for a bill that will help out Americans that need it most! Now all thats left is to collectively vote to extend the funding! Democrats, would you like to go first?

“…”

Oh. Alright. Not a big deal. You’re still saying you support it when it comes time to vote on the bill. Republicans! Maybe YOU’D like to go first?

“…”

Hmmm. You both agree, but neither wants to go first. But if nobody goes first, the funding just ends. Democrats? Maybe you???

“…”

Uhhhhhh, cutting it close guys. Republicans???

“…”

Dammit. This bill isn’t reaching the floor, is it? Look, I know the trump stuff is the headline grabber, but maybe you just get together and slip this one through before lunch? Kinda like how the net neutrality bill just went through with no coverage. Look, neither of you will look weak, and you can both go back to your bases claiming credit for helping them. So, who’s going first???

“…”

God dammit, my internet bill is going up, isn’t it?
