That makes certain sectors of the world quite happy.

Actually, a shutdown is a net positive, as long as there’s no backpay.
Trump should promise to veto any backpay legislation.
Note that fed wages proportionally translate to union dues and democrat support.
It’ll also be reducing what gov sucks out of the economy, in net, and might help overcome any temporary economic decrease from bad weather (cold).
I say Trump should reverse gears and argue to keep it “shut down”.
I was thinking to myself, “but if we go to 51% can you imagine the abuse and horrible bills the dems will just steam roll? Then I realized that the dems always get what they want no matter what, so in reality the 60% only hurts conservatives. In reality the 60% is only to stop a filibuster. I say fine, but they actually have to do a filibuster not just pretend
I wouldnt go there. I think it supports the Democrats blame game. Dems can now say even Trump says the republicans can get this passed without democrat votes.
The fact the dems are doing this, supposedly, for the illegals, is turning on them... people don’t like the special attention the illegals are getting...
plus california is throwing absolutely all law and order off the cliff.... daring anyone to challenge their “right” to defy our President. I hope he sends in enough national guard to take the ones defying, in handcuffs and settle this act of trying to secede from the United States. They are protecting the illegals while putting citizens in danger.
Citizens are growing in number, that don’t like any of this. It’s feeling like an invasion and our country is no longer what it was built to be... they don’t assimilate, they want this country to be theirs.. and the leaders want their vote ... that’s all they have in common with all this illegal invasion... their votes to keep power in the hands of the evil coming in.
As Trump sees this memo and sees the guilty being taken in.. he will gain more “what it takes” to drain the damn swamp and get rid of these snakes.
??? I read where 81% of the government still operates, with only the info gathering agencies being the ones that are hit.
Fagan Screwmer spewing now about the “generous” offer he made to the president.
Yeh I’m definitely ready for the nuclear option. Nuke em!
Are there 51 reliable votes?
I don’t see it with McCain, Flake & Graham.
I doubt if there any Rats that will roll over.
On Maria’s show this morning, one guest stated that the reason for creation of the filibuster rule was to block civil rights legislation.
BOOM!
That is my question as well
Completely agree. I’m so tired of this charade of the phony, assumed, permanent filibuster. That is not what the filibuster was intended to be at all. It was only to provide a means for any member of Congress to TEMPORARILY pause the legislative process in order to either have their point of view heard, or to provide more time for others to persuade their opponents to see things their way. It was never designed to block everything by default.
For active-duty military too?
Sucky Schumer and Graham may be negotiating for a pardon.
That makes certain sectors of the world quite happy.
Fire every managerial level employee hired over the last 8 years by Obama. Use the money for military families.
Trump’s got cred because he’s gone nuclear before.
Justice Gorsuch....
Ever tried firing a government employee?
Force a real filibuster requiring nonstop talking with no p** breaks (Stadium Pal or other urinal prostheses forbidden).
Nuclear option 51%
One year CRs for essential services. Make Dems vote against combat troops, debt servicing, parks and passports. Let the BS whither on the vine. Want to fund the EPA this year? Build the wall. Even if they have to give back pay to government employees, a long shutdown would still provide regulatory relief in many situations and deservedly sabatoge these corrupt government agencies.
Let’s finish the job, lower morale and punish these SJW snow flakes.
