Great news, but we’ll see what the pukes in the Senate do.

Let the Democrats shut the government down. We’ll see who blinks first.

The President has leverage. Senators want to go home and he wants the wall.

They’re terrified of a shutdown. House just gave him what he wanted.

Yep.

We KNOW Flake will vote against it, maybe others.

Trump will be forced to veto the bill

“In which case it will be very hard to spin that the Democrats do not own the ensuing shutdown. “

Not with a Republican controlled House and a Republican controlled Senate and a President that said he will shut down the government. It will be a cakewalk for the MSM to call it a Trump shutdown.

Frankly I’m “iffy” on the nuke option.
It’s right for matters that are budgetary (the Constitutional supremity of the House on revenue) but not on policy. Frequently it’s “iffy” to serparate money and policy.

Good points. But I would love to see the President hold an oval office address, with the parents and loved ones killed by illegals. With parents of victims of the drug cartels. He’s asking for 5 billion out of a multi-trillion dollar budget to protect the American people. Put as much pressure on the Senators as possible.

The media will come to their rescue and blame DJT for the shutdown.

Thanks for catching that. The video was misleadingly captioned.

Sorry, I’m from New Jersey: Fartacus Booker and Roberto Giggolo Menendez. Calling them is about as useful as _______________________ (fill in your favorite metaphor for useless).

Which reminds me, do you think Shemp Smith is still in the little girl’s room, crying his eyes out over this turn of events?

I just completed an exact two our study of the GoFundMe account Trump.Wall.

From 15:12 to 17:12 PST, the following took place.

$985,121.00 collected. That’s $492,591.50 per hour.

16,324 people donated during that two hours.

They donated an average of $30.18.

This study ended with $8,956,767 dollars collected since the beginning of the GoFundMe campaign.

No, the video is covering votes on other, unrelated issues brought to the floor after the CR vote. Very confusing.

"The media will come to their rescue and blame DJT for the shutdown."

This. When are the Democrats ever allowed to take the blame for anything? The media exists to spin all negative news in favor of the Democrats and against Trump. They are experts at it, and they own all of the mainstream outlets.

Thanks, I finally figured that out when they started to debate the actual bill we were waiting for. :)

I use to be a cspan junky and had all the lingo down. Gave up on cable and sat TV so I’m a bit rusty now.

Thanks again!

Yes and no ...

If they don’t vote for it, they end up shutting down goobermint because it never reaches POTUS’s desk.
