They did pass a CR back in December. Everyone thought the President would sign it. He changed his mind.

- bluGill 8y agoStill partially their fault for thinking the president would. Even if the president changed his mind afterwards they take some blame as their job is to figure this out in time.
- lolc 8y ago> Even if the president changed his mind afterwards they take some blame as their job is to figure this out in time. That's the most extravagant line of reasoning I've read in this thread so far. And now my brain is in a knot. I understand you're saying parliament should have proactively made their end of the deal worse because the negotiations were a sham anyway. You realize they're still not willing to do that after negotiations have broken down? In the end you're just blaming them for not having made a different deal earlier. But that wasn't on the table then, and isn't now. So you're just blaming them for not giving in. Which (disregarding the particulars) is a reasonable position. But somehow you've packed it up all weird.
