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.
The nuke option would be a win for Trump in showing that the pubbies reversed the shutdown. True a few RINO anti Trumpers would vote against it but there would be a enough redstate dems to offset the turncoats.
There ya go!
Besides referring to the military, and the border, the issue about funding healthcare for children should be included every single time. Rats are supposed to be “for the children”; shame them in to helping the children.
Completely agree with the sentiment. However, there is nothing nuclear about this. It's already the way legislation is passed.
Proceeding with legislation this way would likely lead to a filibuster in the Senate. So what? Make the Democrats go through the pain of a real filibuster. Then pass a real budget anyhow. And hold all Congressmen in Congress until it's done!
“Nuclear option”...Awesome...I nominate NYC, LA, and Chicago for starters...
Yes. Senator McConnell? This means you!
Prefer the term “Constitutional option”... 60 votes is not required
I thought this might be the plan “A” if a shutdown happens and the dims will agree to another C/R to avoid the nuke opt. and to postpone DACA for the short term and then repeat .
