“Some are leaving DC, the bastards.”
McConnell recessed the entire Senate, without objection.
They ALL went home.
1. Vote $5B in the house in the few days while we still have a majority there.
2. Send the entire senate home because maybe we don’t have 51 votes there yet.
3. Government shuts down until senate returns.
4. House bill sits in senate’s in-box.
5. Senate returns with more Rs and fewer Ds.
6. Senate passes the house bill on roll call vote.
7. President signs the bill. Shutdown ends with his intended result.
Just Brilliant!
