Sure, the Senate can always change its own rules by Majority vote.

I don’t think they will kill the fillibuster over this, though.

Not caving on DACA up front, as would have happened with President Trump and Q.

I figure all drama and a shutdown. Recall earlier today that the house went home and is not in session next week. Doubt folks will want to return to do their jobs.

House didn't go home. They're all still hanging around in case there's a vote.

" Steve Brusk‏Verified account @stevebruskCNN
Senator Graham just walked into Majority Leader McConnell's office, joining a group of Senators including Flake, Murkowski, Collins, and Rounds already there "
(The amnesty express crew.)

May be a 3 week CR after all. I still think the Dems need a short shutdown, but this may be enough of a "win" for them.

Just an oddball theory here.. anyone else giving consideration to the possibility that Trump might’ve used the FISA memo as a bargaining chip in his discussion with Schumer?

“Can McConnell use the nuclear option to bypass a vote on cloture?”

Sure. The senate sets their own rules. But they WON’T.

In case you weren’t aware, “cloture” is a swahili term that roughly translated means “convenient excuse for doing nothing.”

LOL....

I received this in my email this afternoon. I didn’t respond to the invitation to go to their blog and I won’t.

Dear xxxxxx,

As part of our recent work to understand Russian-linked activities on Twitter during the 2016 U.S. presidential election, we identified and suspended a number of accounts that were potentially connected to a propaganda effort by a Russian government-linked organization known as the Internet Research Agency.

Consistent with our commitment to transparency, we are emailing you because we have reason to believe that you either followed one of these accounts or retweeted or liked content from these accounts during the election period. This is purely for your own information purposes, and is not related to a security concern for your account.

We are sharing this information so that you can learn more about these accounts and the nature of the Russian propaganda effort. You can see examples of content from these suspended accounts on our blog if you’re interested.

People look to Twitter for useful, timely, and appropriate information. We are taking active steps to stop malicious accounts and Tweets from spreading, and we are determined to keep ahead of the tactics of bad actors. For example, in recent months we have developed new techniques to identify accounts manipulating our platform, have improved our process for challenging suspicious accounts, and have introduced new measures designed to identify and take action on coordinated malicious activity. In 2018, we are building on these improvements. Our blog also contains more information about these efforts.

People come to Twitter to see what’s happening in the world. We are committed to making it the best place to do that and to being transparent with the people who use and trust our platform.

Twitter

Saw on twitter that Lindsey Grahamesty said he will vote YES on the CR..I think your theory might be correct..I think President Trump has read the FISA memo(Or at least been told what is in it) and used that as a bargaining chip against the Dems..gee..remember when dems said they wanted all the info about the Russia investigation out in they open, Adam Schiff sure has been quiet about this FISA memo hasn’t he..cat bite his tongue?

It’s amazing how the most pain in the ass Senators on our side (Flakey, McCain, Little Lindsay) are the ones most in love with seeing their own faces on TV.

If the FISA memo is what some think it is, then it's a bargaining chain saw and should not be wasted.

I thought about it, but what would he do? I don’t think he would trade swamp draining to avoid a government shutdown.

"Jennifer Shutt‏Verified account @JenniferShutt · 3m3 minutes ago
.@JohnCornyn says Senate voting on House-passed CR: “We’re not going to vote on the three week. We’re going to vote on the four week.” He says Democrats and Republicans have been talking about the possibility of a three-week CR but added there is “no deal.” "

The Dems want their shutdown.

President Trump will protect the downside and the upside will take care of itself. That, I can tell you.

I thought budget reconciliation votes were filibuster free. How is it that a Supreme Court justice can get voted through under budget reconciliation rules but the budget can’t get through the same way. Nuke it!! The Senate (rules) AND the bill!!!
