The Drudge Report blasted out its breaking news siren on Friday, reporting that an agreement has been reached to end the government shutdown.
Matt Drudges high-trafficked news aggregator reported that according to a source, a shutdown agreement has been reached, and that an announcement is set for 1 p.m.
SOURCE: SHUTDOWN AGREEMENT REACHED, the Drudge headline blared. ANNOUNCEMENT SET FOR 1 PM.
GOVT TO REOPEN TEMPORARILY, it added.
The nearly six-week government shutdown appeared set to continue after two measures to reopen the government one that would fund President Donald Trumps border wall, and one did not failed in the Senate on Friday.
CBS News reported shortly after that Trump is expected to announce Friday hell back a move to reopen the government for a few weeks at the White House.
CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett reported that Trump is expected to support a continuing resolution that would reopen the government for a few weeks, while the debate over a border wall continues.
This story is breaking
Mike Cernovich is Tweeting no Wall.
If this is true, shame.
No Wall! No deal!
NO WALL.
moved to 130.
And Trump’s base will go ape if he doesn’t.
The rumor online is that the Rats threatened Trump saying they would shut down the country with mass protests from airport workers, etc til they get what they want..seriously like THAT is supposed to scare him..if he caves here the country is done..HELLO COMMUNISM, HELLO OPEN BORDERS and GOODBYE AMERICA
we’ll have objective proof of who caved: we either get a wall or no wall.
Praying he did not give amnesty, etc...without a wall.
Amazing after three and a half years of Trump having the Deep State taking aim at him 24/7 that a bunch of you here still panic and predict ultimate gloom and doom with every issue. Why dont we actually see the deal in place before we start gripping.
The goal should be to push workers to voluntarily leave on their own without having to RIF them — especially in these non-essential functions.
Well, duh, that would explain the 3 wks to “negotiate.”
Drudge is just a little less reliable than CNN, Reuters, the Washington Post and Yahoo.
By all accounts, no. This is supposed to open the agencies at their current level of funding. It won't even include the $1.6 billion that the House passed last year.
Both the House and the Senate have to pass this temporary spending bill. I fear this is similar to delaying the Kavanaugh vote. The democrats got a hearing of Ford and Kavanaugh and a brief FBI investigation. In the end, only one Democrat senator voted for Kavanaugh. Trump may end up having to declare a National Emergency after 3 weeks anyway.
And a rumor is all that is.
RE: Both sides will shriek victory.
I don’t care which side “wins”, I just want THE WALL !
If no wall....Nancy wins....screw them all including trump.
That probably means no wall funding for now.
All is not lost. It takes time and effort to make something as symbolic as the wall happen w/o losing too much politically. I’m starting to see how difficult it can be, if one chooses not to just bulldoze the event through as we here want him to do.
I thinking of the Magna Carta document in England.
Written in 1215 by King John. Many see it as a cornerstone for the liberty of citizens. Even though first approved in 1215, the charter went through many revisions for many years. It was not fully implemented until 1297, by efforts of Edward The First, grandson of King John.
Some things still take time to reach their finished form.
