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…

The sharks smell blood now.

Those six Republican traitors yesterday pretty much sealed Trump’s fate.

There has been 3 bills to just pay the fed workers and the Dems voted NO. I’m wondering if this is a compromise to just PAY the workers...

Trump forgot what he wrote in his own book:

Never look desperate to make a deal.

Drudge is just a little less reliable than CNN, Reuters, the Washington Post and Yahoo.

Drudge is neither reliable or unreliable. He does not create news, he simply links to other sources. It is up to the reader to determine the significance of the story.

How many people know that there have been 3 bills? The media isn’t touting that. Trump & Republicans should be out there saying that - Trump should be Tweeting it, the Comm’s team should have videos of their no votes circulating on social media, all the Republicans should be on message. Very frustrating.

Watching the news reporters speculate is nauseating as they have no clue what the real end game is.

Ugh. I cannot stand these two twittering females on FNC trying to sound intelligent (nothing against females - the males on FNC are even dumber)*

* This doesn’t include Shep. I’m not quite sure WHAT sex that thing is.

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

Winner winner chicken dinner. Now...everyone will come on and say "he's got a plan." Well, unless his plan is to immediately declare a national emergency because the Democrats refused to even meet him halfway during that three weeks...this is a fail.

He IS reliable. He’s reliably anti-Trump and clearly part of the enemy camp.
