WH doctor declares Trump in 'excellent' health, mentally fit for office 00:4000:48 WH doctor declares Trump in 'excellent' health, mentally fit for office TheHill.com Autoplay: On | Off The House on Thursday night approved a stopgap measure to keep the government open less than 36 hours before a possible shutdown, shifting the drama to a Senate where Democrats are threatening to block the GOP bill.
The final vote was 230-197, with six Democrats voting for the measure and 11 Republicans voting against it.
The Senate is expected to vote on a procedural motion later Thursday to take up the House bill. The procedural vote is expected to be approved, but a follow-up procedural motion to move the bill to a final up-or-down vote is expected to fail and may not even clinch a simple majority as several Republicans have already voiced opposition.
That would require Senate negotiators to come up with a deal before 11:59 pm Friday to avoid a government shutdown

I wasn’t expecting him back. I didn’t really know what to think. It was my take that there was a very good chance he’d be gone by now.

Yep, I was being facetious and I also suspected he’d be gone or close to it by now.

There’s a political dimension to the DACA vote not being discussed. I believe there are several Red State RATS willing to support a DACA deal that includes wall and end to chain migration. Problem is, if they come out now, they will likely be ‘primaried’. Once we get into March, (most filing deadlines done) it will be easier for them to go along with Trump. Could be a rocky two months or so.

Yeah, that’s okay. I had a neutral view of your post, so no harm no fowl.
