Even if the republicans "agree" to do something to get democrats to support something, they will renege via yet another illegal trump "rescission." It's obvious that any chance for a return to democracy will have to wait until the mid-terms. In the meantime, just shut it down. The threats of "mass firings" is actually sardonically funny because they have been and will continue to do that anyway.
