Great to see how hard Republicans are fighting for our Military and Safety at the Border. The Dems just want illegal immigrants to pour into our nation unchecked. If stalemate continues, Republicans should go to 51% (Nuclear Option) and vote on real, long term budget, no C.R.’s!

McConnell promises vote on ending shutdown by 1 a.m. Monday
why don’t they let them filibuster and make them do it non-stop 24/7 till the government reopens.
It is the constitutional standard unless the Senate chooses otherwise.
They are all a corrupt and corrupted self-dealing uniparty. That is why it is what it is.
“McCain has been tweeting”
I doubt it is McCain doing the tweeting — probably his daughter doing it — she knows all of his talking points. He is end-stage GBM and probably is in a coma. I know — my husband died of the same thing.
I don't see what's wrong with Paul's position on this.
Time to up the stakes.
Bring up a military and DHS funding bill ONLY.
Let’s see where these scumbag politicians vote on that.
As for the rest of the “non-essential” government, it can and SHOULD be SHUT DOWN FOREVER!
When the people realize that they are being taxed to pay a bunch of do nothing imbeciles that aren’t even necessary, all hell will break loose.
This is the perfect opportunity to PERMANENTLY reduce the size of the FEDERAL APPARATCHIK.
As long as the military and ONLY essential elements of government are funded, there is no reason to bring the rest of them back.
This is the first shot in the counter attack against the invasion of non white legal and illegal immigrants.
It should not be forgotten that a deliberate and intentional decision was made in 1965 to change the demographics of the USA to make whites a minority.
Ted Kennedy and communist democrats abolished the quota system and triggered an invasion.

That plan is still proceeding and is still on track.
The only thing that possibly stops it is:
1- Identifying that this is happening, why, and who started it, and
2- Taking action to stop and reverse it.
This strategy involves naming names and groups and being willing to take everything the communists and globalists throw at us and throw it back harder at them and use all means, including violence if necessary, to prevent their victory.
Trumps decision to stop chain migration and build a wall are great steps and necessary, but the demographic shift must not be allowed to continue.
“Time to end the 60 vote rule. It has been abused by party leadership. Just end it.”
Goes both ways. Rats win the Senate and then they can do it.
I loved those cars. So much Bentley in them. And, of course, Corinthian leather.
It’s pronounced “Kor-EEEN-the-yun leather”.
Unfortunately, four or five pubbies voted with the dems!
You’re assuming that the republicans ALL stand together.
But we have at least 4 RINO pieces of sh*t that can’t wait to kiss the Dems’ collective arse.
There was nothing in what he voted “Nay” to that would prompt his comment about sticking to their guns. I can agree/sympathize with Paul (and maybe even Lee) but that attitude really helps more once they get to the next phase.
You don’t need 60 votes to pass a budget. Trump is calling that ‘nuclear’, but it isn’t what we normally refer to as the ‘nuclear option’ of changing the senate rules to eliminate the 60 vote threshold.
This is actually a good idea. A budget with some modest cuts in it (the so-called Penny Plan, where one penny is cut each year from every program, thus ending base line budgeting, would be great to implement here) would get the votes of all of those R senators. And you could tack on all the funding for border security and do a ‘DACA fix’ that isn’t anywhere near as much of a sop to the Dems as they would like, getting them to vote against their own issue.
#12, At this point McCrazy is most likely in a morphine induced Coma.
His public comments being written and released by his staff.
If he could talk, he’d be in front of a Camera.
Is it unreasonable to presume that – if/when the Dem party regains control of the Senate – the Dem maj. leader would immediately abolish the filibuster, @SenateMajLdr?

Exactly. It is 51-40. Only 1 can be lost. 2 no votes and it does not pass

I agree.
Agreed.
Hey, I’m with Rand Paul all the way on this.
