86. Can I take you up on your bet about Trump keeping the SNAP crisis and not paying?

A more serious question: At what point do you think the repubs would have caved and agreed to an extension of the ACA enhanced subsidies? A week? Two weeks? A month? Two months? And do you think that if they caved they would agree to a permanent extension? A one year extension? An extension with new restrictions?

In a perfect world, the republicans would agree to a CR that extended the expiring enhanced subsidies, funded SNAP for the full fiscal year, rehired fired federal employees and guaranteed that they and the furloughed employees and those that worked without pay would get their back pay.

Convince me there was a route to that perfect outcome and a timeline for achieving it. Convince me the repubs would suddenly give a shit about the harm they were causing.
