“Shut down AF1”

Seriously., I have wondered how those guys have not just parked it and walked away.

I wonder if illegals will be massing at the border in anticipation of no Border Patrol.

Why, did someone start allowing them to do their jobs?

I heard that it was mostly Democrats voting against. Who were our Republicans who voted to reject this lawless bill?

So what. Blame the Republicans. If we are going to loose our rights and constitution, I would rather go down fighting. Not curled up in the corner shivering in fear.

You said it. No matter what happens, the media is going to find fault with Republicans. So do what is right and just, push back at the media with both barrels and serve your constituents.

I’m presuming that the turtle is dug in. Cruz is eligible for Speaker. Boehner demonstrates lack of leadership and is a weakling currently in a weak position. The House needs better leadership.

There were 52 Republicans who voted against the bill and only 12 Democrats voted for DHS funding.

I suspect that Boehner rigged this to fail. This gives him a pretext to cave. He will now bring forward a bill funding DHS to the end of the year, collect Dem votes, and pass it.

Only if they are listening to Democrat and media propaganda. The vast majority of DHS employees are considered "essential" which means that they continue to work. Only the admin types are going to sit at home.

Some conservatives who often fall in line with Leadership voted against it.
Shows the power of ‘organization’: the House Freedom Caucus.

I know you don’t have to be in the house to be speaker but I don’t know if you can be in the senate and be speaker.

The house and senate are kept separate for a reason.

simple solution.

Nuclear option.

Throw out the filibuster in the senate, then pass the DHS funding without the funds for the amnesty, and make Obama veto it.
