How many Republicans will vote for it?
Toilet scum.
If they reopen it, that might cause a recession.
Just a way to make Trump veto the bill and force the shutdown on him. At least that’s how the MSM will report it.
How can a spending bill originate in the Senate...?
McConnell is close to making the GOP extinct. Let’s hope that what little spine he has holds up.
I for one, trust only Trump.
As for the GOP, it can kiss my Obamahole.
Neither bill will pass. Vote on funding the wall first. If it doesn’t pass then the second won’t pass. Trump still has to sign it either way.
President Trump needs to VETO any measure that doesn’t fund the wall.
PERIOD!!!!
MAGA!!!
If there is a choice, Plan A. Funds Wall., Plan B.’Postpones’ funding, we all know which the Dems will choose.
Not rocket science.
Agree.
McConnell better KNOW that if the first one doesn’t get passed, then he better NOT let the second pass!
I think what they are proposing is that POTUS gets his $5.7M, but it won’t necessarily be used for a wall, and that decision gets kicked down the road to the 8th.
To say this is weaselly is an insult to weasels, if this is what this means.
McConnell is getting played by Schmucky again.
Trump should announce he will veto the funding bill unless both bills pass.
Then on Feb 9, we go through all this, again.
The upside is that not much gets done by "non-essential" gov't agencies in 2 weeks.
McConnell hasn’t been a team players, and he isn’t going to be a team player.
He took offense to the idea a non-politician could come in and clean things up. He is dead set against allowing Trump to implement corrective measures.
He will do some parts of his job, so folks are fooled, but he is as evil as the Democrats.
Every time you think of patting him on the back, just remember there are many facets of his job, and just because he does 25% of his job well, it doesn’t mean he was an overall plus for us.
Far from it.
He and Ryan passed ONE, that’s it, just ONE large bill in the first two years of Trump’s term in office.
Those two jackasses campaigned on getting the majority so they could “fix things” for most of their careers. Then when they had it, they had no list of things that needed to get done.
It’s impossible to calculate the potential gain and massive losses McConnell and Ryan perpetrated AGAINST Conservatives.
Why would RINOscum McConnell allow a Demonicrat bill without funding for the wall to be presented for a vote?!?
“One bill includes President Trump’s request for $5.7 billion to construct a wall at the southern border...”
If I’m reading this right, then Schumer has agreed not to filibuster a wall bill. That should allow it to squeak through the Senate, which is progress. Optimistically, this is a way for the Senate Dems to yield but save face.
Vote on the 5.7 Billion first. If that fails, veto any other spending bill.
Cop to guy in a standoff;
“Ok, let the hostage go, then I promise we can negotiate about the helicopter you want”.
F’ em all. Leave it shutdown.
