We’ve had over 30 days of this shutdown. It’s time to layoff all the needless teat drainers and save a trillion.

Votes aren’t there to override a veto.
Its kabuki theater and everyone knows it.

Beautiful.
Democrats know the price for ending the shutdown but they’re refusing to pay it.
Trump isn’t in a big hurry to get it over with.

May the shutdown go on as long as necessary to get wall funding.

All snark aside, Cotton and Lee are about the most conservative members we have in the Senate....Curious to know their reasoning behind the vote.
romonhisnees voted for it and then against it...
To: Col Frank Slade
Yes, 50 voted to fund the wall ...

Utah has two piles of shi!, Lee and Romney. Thanks jackasses.
To: Quilla
I haven’t missed these Federal “workers” one bit. Meanwhile, I’m told that not paying them, is costing me money? Hmmm, fake math...
To: mewzilla
I think procedural. Vote no to bring up the bill again.

The 60 vote thing is merely a Senate rule found nowhere in the Constitution. And thanks again to Cotton and Lee. Two damned traitors.

This is NOT about a wall - this is about crushing the Resistance. Lincoln burned cities and destroyed crops to put down the rebellion. I stand behind Trump in whatever he does to crush the rebellion.

Democrats own it by refusing to vote for a border wall.
The President won’t sign a spending bill without it. Everyone knew that 34 days ago and nothing has changed since on that front.
