On Facebook, there are posts of Claire McKaskill wanting to continue pay for military service members, but McConnell objects. Anyone know about this? What's the deal?
Consider the source, Fakebook.
I fear McConnell is about to cave.
Could be that the Dems know that item is killing them and they want it off the table.
Keep it on the table as leverage so Trump gets what he wants.
Facebook? Facebook that is censoring news and penalizing conservatives? Who cares what is on FB?
As far as CMc, she is desperate because she is going to get beaten decisively this year in the election, she is scared
The Senate just can do this. Any funding deal has to go back to the House for approval. Fakebook.
I believe there were other poisoned riders in that.... never what the media makes it seem.
Because if it were brought up for a vote and passed, it would then allow the budget and the CR to continue to be tied to, and dependent on DACA. And DACA, over the long term, will produce millions of Democrat voters.
McConnell wants to fund the ENTIRE Gov’t, the RAT just wants to fund the Military. McConnell feels NOT paying Military will pressure RATs to ‘see it his way’ - did I splain it ?
Chuckie Schumer is talking on the Senate floor now and after thoroughly denigrating President Trump said they’d vote to reopen government.
Exactly right on both of your posts. This is simply a delaying move by the Dems.
Schumer just caved.
Political grandstanding.
It’s over. Trump wins, Schumer cuts his losses.
Looks like it’s going to pass.They will be voting in 5 minutes.
Who just blinked in the Senate? McConnell or Schumer? I’m gathering that McConnell blinked.
Blaming Trump, but caved.

I just saw that (literally - I had to mute it after a while because Schumer makes my skin crawl). McConnell spoke briefly. Said nothing.
Now these useless shitheads will pat each other on the back - trash Trump - and uniformly crow about how great they are to have opened the government back up again after uniformly sucking at doing their jobs in the first place.
Little Dick talking now. Had to mute that, too.
Its 1 of the wacky rules in the Senate you have to vote against a bill you propose or its automatically voted off the floor as a failure......
