One thing The Turtle is not is politically stupid.

If they end the shutdown by overriding Trump’s veto it will trigger the self-destruct sequence of the Republican Party.

Not something he wants.

OMG! could it be true that the Turtle has found a spine?
*****************************
and found some balls?
Maybe Trump loaned him a couple from his seemingly endless supply.
Trump could re-write that thing Rush says to something like - “I get more done before lunchtime on Monday, even with half my balls out on loan, than Bath-house Barry ever got done in a week.”

Democrats are still the party of no.
No wall.
No border security.
No cooperation with President Trump.

A veto shows McConnell doesn’t have as much power as he pretends to have.

Integrity can be ascribed to any career politician. All virtues and vices bow to self-interest for career politicians. From that lens, the actions of any legislative body follow a perfect logic such that any disillusioned teenager could follow it.

If the House has actually passed a bill to re-open the treasury department, they should pass that and send it to Trump.

But have they, or did they pass a bill opening up everything?

“OMG! could it be true that the Turtle has found a spine?”

He also had it regarding Merrick, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh.

His problem is that he has a bunch of nursery school kids he needs to keep rounded up.

My gosh...the Senate Republicans are getting a backbone. Lindsey Graham said that President Trump should declare an emergency to build the wall and McConnell is telling Schumer that he is running the Senate.

Good for Mitch McConnell ...

Replace furloughed government workers with illegals for ten bucks an hour. Show ‘em how it feels.

No say around 5 an hour. The federal minimum wage is still 7.25 an hour.

Nearly every time someone on FR posts this, we somehow get screwed over soon after.

Never forget, he delivered on Kavanaugh.

I’ve heard the Pres is looking for a way to divert funds from Puerto Rico to build the wall.
