Thanks...I pray that’s what is happening, Pelosi deserves to be put in that position.

Ahh, nothing like the obligatory, good old fashioned, pork.

Exactly. $12b for disaster aid v some part of $5b for urgently needed national security doesn't pass the smell test.

Every single day illegal immigration continues leads to a greater national disaster, and it increases much faster than compounded interest.

Nonsense. No way a Democrat Bill gets 60 votes.

Democrats have learned if Trump refuses to budge, they can’t force him to cooperate and the shutdown is hurting them more than him.

So they’re throwing in the towel.

Has McConnell said he would bring Schumers bill to the floor to vote?

Or are you just rushing out to declare defeat for something that won’t happen?

The way I read the news is that there are two bills: Trump’s and then a 3 week CR with no wall funding. If Trump’s fails, then they vote on Dems. I smell a rat.

The border situation is a disaster so why not spend it there?

If Trump’s fails to get 60, then yes, Shumer’s gets a vote.

Pelosi Twitter page blowing up hard against her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pew Poll today said 53% blame her.

Everybody here knows that you need 60 votes to overcome
a filibuster. But that is not the reason for the vote.
The reason is to put these RAT Senators and maybe a few RINO’s
on record. I.E. A 2020 election issue.

Your fear about a CR has been noted and filed.

Okay; it’s time to split the country up. Conservatives get everything between Canada and Mexico and the commies get L.A., The Bay Area, and NYC. We may consider moving out of DC so they can have that mess heap too. I think this is a very generous offer.

Alternatively we can deport all leftists to any country who will take their sorry miserable butts. Preferably communist countries since they seem to think it’s greener on that side.

Not a bad idea but I doubt any country is stupid enough to take them.

You’re completely wrong. They are just ammending the house bill in one and voting on the house bill in the other (a complete cave). What will happen...both bills will pass the Senate...since one is exactly what the house already passed that will go to the President to sign and the other will go back to the house to die. It’ll force Trump to sigh (a complete and total cave), or veto a “bi partisan bill”). Hopefully he vetos but then the Dems get to say Trump is keeping the government shutdown. What they would have done if they actually supported Trump would be to put the Trump ammendments to a vote and force the Democrats to fillibuster. They don’t support Trump. It’s 100% clear.Push Trump to veto the house bill no matter what! He should announce that he won’t sign it before the vote.
