Well I won't back down, no I won't back down

You can stand me up at the gates of Hell

But I won't back down

No I'll stand my ground, won't be turned around

And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down

Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

Good, shut it down.

If they refuse to protect US, what good are they?

The upper chamber of the Senate used a voice vote to pass
a deal to avoid a government shutdown, but some are still
pushing President Trump to veto the bill which doesn’t
include funding for the wall.

Does well at explaining what’s going on.

Only interesting possibility I see is taking it to conference, as they usually would.

Here’s a question...

If the President of the United States can be personally sued, Can these so called “Republicans” like Jeff Flake be personally sued or charged with criminal Misrepresentation and Fraud?

They sure deserve it. Flake is fraudulently NOT representing our republican interests here in Az and grossly misrepresenting himself as a “republican”.

This vote is taking a while. Looks like a number of GOP senators are cutting deals.

Nobody will even notice if the federal government shuts down.

If you really want to have an impact on people, shut down Wal-Mart or Target for a few days ...

It’s said the game played now is more about shut down ‘hot-potato’ on who gets stuck with it once the clock runs out.

I believe the Vice President, in his role as President of the Senate, is the presiding officer and has the authority to keep them in session until the measure passes.

If it’s shut down (I hope) in the new year the new members should not be sworn in and Nazi should not be given the gavel.

It will be interesting if politically, Trump and/or Republicans can say that it was a lack of Democratic Party votes that shut down the government.

If the public can get the truth of how the Democrats will do anything, including harming the country to oppose Trump, things might change. However, the media will probably never fully explain what is going on.
