On Tuesday, Republicans in the House almost uniformly voted against giving low-wage federal contractors they back pay they lost during Trump's 35-day government shutdown stunt.

A full 194 of the chamber's 198 Republicans refused to vote for an appropriations bill that would help make federal contractors whole. Those low-wage employees — service workers, laborers, and mechanics — lost out on five weeks of pay while Trump shut down the government in a tantrum because no one wanted to fund his border wall.

Thankfully, since the Democrats hold the majority, the bill passed the House regardless.

1. Remember how all the Cultists were whining how unfair Dems were to even IMPLY the

workers wouldn't be made whole after Donnie's little stunt? They accused our side of grandstanding and all this other bullshit.

Then their asshole reps turn around and all vote against making those people whole.

F*** all these people, I swear ... The Cultists, the GOP in general ... biggest bunch of disingenuous, hypocritical asshats I've ever seen.

Anyone think this will even go to the floor in the Senate?

2. If those federal workers vote for Republicans again, they are beyond hope. NT

3. And...this bill will be DOA on arrival in the senate, thanks to McConnell.

I hope I'm wrong.
