BREAKING: Drudge Reports Shutdown Agreement Reached
Mediaite via Drudge ^ | 01/25/2019 | by Aidan McLaughlin

The Drudge Report blasted out its breaking news siren on Friday, reporting that an agreement has been reached to end the government shutdown.

Matt Drudge‘s 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 Trump’s border wall, and one did not — failed in the Senate on Friday.

CBS News reported shortly after that Trump is “expected to announce Friday he’ll 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…

This is not a compromise
This is a sellout.


Sweet pea, you were sold down the river long ago by the Uniparty. We don’t elect a king and you need to understand that.

FNC: No declaration of emergency.

Well, that suggests a cave. I hate to say it.

Its hard to overstate the importance of the wall. The American people time and time again have asked for a wall. We’ve paid for all kinds of crap we didn’t want or demand. We’ve been demanding this for decades. Caving on the wall is abandoning the will of the nation I hope that’s not what just happened.

Maybe Trump sees the writing on the wall..look at what America has become..the left threatening to kill CHILDREN for wearing MAGA hats.


And not a peep from the elected GOP about that.

If I spit on them, I’d regret wasting the saliva.

I'd rather kiss a crack whore than shake hands with most of them.

I've getting a funny feeling my car won't start on the next election day......

We were in a similar situation a year ago WITH REPUBLICAN MAJORITIES. I think most people have forgotten the results then. We had explanations of why we need to accept it but “it will be different next year” - it’s not so far.

There’s no option but for Trump to “go full Obama” and say “to hell with courts and congress, I’m spending money where I want and signing executive orders to do what my supporters want”. Hopefully that’s where things are going but my optimism is pretty low.

What I am hearing Fox report is a disaster. Continuing resolution so talks can continue with the government "temporarily" re-opened.

This better not be it.

My GUESS is that Trump will approve a no-strings CR for 2-3 weeks so everyone can get paid.

Then we’re right back where we started, without 35 days of leverage.
