Funny, I looked out the window at 7:30AM today and said to my wife, wow, looks like the sun actually rose this morning and on time to boot.

What PO’s me a ton is those DC dolts will get a paid vacation for as long as this goes on.

As far as a stop gap goes, I don’t want no stinkin stop gap. Pass the budget as is sans that stupid DACA crap and be done with it.

I hope with the non essential’s home, that our border goes on full military lock down....set up the M-60s backed up by mortars and claymores till this is settled. Fly a CAP along the borders too.

“I still think this would be a great opportunity to institute a Zero Based Budget.

Make every department prove that it’s needed.”

Your words are perfect and there can be no doubting what you say.

“It is time to arrest the criminals, murderer-accomplices,
traitors, and other felons in Congress........”

You left out the Senate.

Aren’t they the ones labeled as “non-essential” government workers? (By the way, why do have “non-essential” workers anyway? Permanent layoffs! Ah yes, it’s our government!)

With polls showing that 70% or more of the public wanting to do “something” to “protect” the poor DACA “kids”

Must have taken the poll in the demonrat congressional restrooms. I don't know anyone who wants to keep DACA.

Where was McConnell last night? Voting started approximately at 10:15 and he was still a no show when midnight rolled around. I read with the TV muted and then turned the TV off...

He was most likely in his office, negotiating with Little Lindsey Graham and his fellow Democrats.

When they began logging the votes, I could see Graham in a seat on the far side of the floor - when the camera angle was past the people logging the votes.. I can’t say which direction except if you were looking at the well of the Senate from the front, to the left of that. All during those hours, there was a huddle of people right at the spot where Graham was but difficult to see him as the screen ticker was in the way. I could see some white hair on the person sitting and I believe he was sitting there the whole evening. I wish they would be made to sit in their assigned seats and record their votes from there. They behave like 2nd graders so let’s treat them as such.

Watch enough of these stupid votes and you can i.d. people on the floor easily. Amazed at how many women were dressed in pants - not a skirt in sight! Feinstein easy to spot - Warren - easy to spot, same with Sanders, Flake, Rubio - and on and on... Some pretty beefy women there! LOL
