End the Schumer Schutdown: build the border wall.
“Democratic every vote counts rhetoric aside, there is now only one vote in the House imo, and that vote belongs to Speaker Pelosi.”
Say what you will about that silly, commie b!tch, but’s she’s been the most effective Speaker in my lifetime of over 60yrs.
Nobody, and I mean nobody cracks a whip like Nancy.
Far, FAR fewer Dims have to crack for this to move forward on Trump’s terms.
A mere 7 of 47 Dim Senators to break the existing filibuster and get the last Republican House bill passed.
Many RINOs lost in the recent election. Even if House passes a veto proof bill, it's unlikely to go anywhere in the Senate because McConnell will not even consider it, or at least for the time being.
“The last Republican bill” expired with the old House.
Just FYI. :-(
The media are doing their part with these heart-rending stories of federal workers at food banks two days after their first missed paycheck. Too bad nobody's buying it.
Frustrated freshman democrats?
Build The Wall.
The wall to wall sob stories are just starting. We will be fed a steady diet of ever increasingly sad stories about people who are suffering, even dying because of the evil and heartless republicans. Works every time it's tried, except, to Mitch's credit, against the Kavanough situation. And even then, Kavanaugh probably loses if not for Lindsey Graham's fire breathing outrage pulling the wobbly GOPe back from the edge of the cliff.
Yeah, that was impressive. After McCain's death, seems like Graham discovered his balls.
“5 billion for the wall and done.”
115 Billion taxpayers money spent annually on illegal immigration support. Audit the spending account, the agency, how much money goes to state governments and audit. Then cut that budget by 10% and use that money for border security.
It will be interesting to follow the career of Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin, “a new Michigan lawmaker and former Central Intelligence Agency analyst.”
It will be particularly interesting to follow her activities in relation to those of her fellow freshman Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
For example, Rep. Slotkin promised not to vote for Nancy Pelosi as Speaker, and she and kept her promise by voting “present.” On the other hand, AOC spent months denouncing Nancy as an old Establishment gargoyle who needed to be replaced by younger leadership and then voted for Nancy anyway.
Also, Rep. Slotkin seems to be the only Democratic House member concerned about the Shutdown impasse who has been courageous enough to speak out about it, particularly about the failure of Nancy Pelosi to offer clear guidelines for resolving it.
I wonder how she feels about Nancy deciding to fly off on a vacation to Puerto Rico while the Democrats of Washington are left leaderless to muddle through the longest shutdown in history.
When EBT funds “dry up” they will just stop the in store verification so people can by whatever they want even with a $0 balance.
This happened at a Walmart a year(?) ago and they decided to just honor the cards without verification. People were loading grocery carts with anything they could grab.
That reminds me, I'm probably going to need A LOT more ammo.
It seems to me that some of these Freshmen Democrats were elected by illegals because there was no wall.
Like all other 60+ yrs taxpayers, thats how long youve been paying unconstitutional federal taxes.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Patriots are reminded that if a federal domestic social spending program is not reasonably related to the US Mail Service (1.8.7) then you can bet that it is unconstitutional and probably be right most of the time.
So even though Nancy knows how to crack the whip, she is still a crook.
"The Holy Grail of organized crime is to control government power to tax." me
"The constitutionally undefined political parties are basically competing, corrupt voter unions, union dues paid by means of unconstitutional federal taxes. me
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." me
"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most appropriations laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." me
That ship has sailed.
Stop paying your taxes and see what happens.

***********
I believe that the Republican House bill died with the convening of the new Congress (Dem majority in the House). I don’t believe a bill with funding for the wall can originate in the Senate.
Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Believe me, I would like to be wrong.
I say the glass is half full.
Hopefully, its only a matter of time before taxpaying voters catch up with the thieving federal government.
The Republicans are as cold as ICE.
