The Repubs loose this and they really are not worth voting for.
Ever.
It really is not complicated. Since there is no need to compromise there should be no compromise.
“1) Hold the line for as long as it takes until the pledged wall is funded while also upholding pledge not to sign another bloated spending bill, ie, my counter offer is this: Nothing.”
Give them “Nothing” Bump!
Only Trump is capable of this, all other republicans would have withered and given in long ago.
I can’t imagine what it’s like to be him right now.
DITTO!

But of course she will, or come up with new ones.
She's more full of Pelosi than any other motivation.
It's not like she has anything else going for her.
The supposed adopted PayGo plan for entitlement programs the dems have touted-— step number two would require them to defund useless “entitlement” programs to be able to support the programs they want to emphasize.
The list of continuing useless wastes of permanent entitlement programs is quite long. Published in the GAO somewhere— buried probably.
Step two could reduce the “kickback” funds dems have been getting for their party for decades. Sounds good. Will watch with interest as they abandon PayGo, as a response to true fiscal discipline. Pay down the debt with any “loose” funds (in the billions).
Absolutely. When times get hard the rest of us have to regroup, set new priorities, and reallocate what limited funds are available. They should have to do the same for a change. No more blank checks.
Would be nice but Trump didn't mean 'Build the Wall' anymore than he did 'Lock Her Up'.
In the next 30 days a 'crisis' will make it 'necessary' to fund the government without Wall funding and Trump will sign it.
A question: My understanding is that essential employees still have to report to work, I thought they were also paid but recently heard they are not (though they will receive back pay when the budget passes). How long do we expect that essential employees can go without pay before they have to find other jobs? I’m not talking about the people we could do without but the first responders, military, etc. - people that actually make the government work and are worthwhile.
I suggest the Senate take up the House Bill, add 5.6 Billion for the wall, and send it back to the House. Takes away talking points from the RATs
President Trump must do it Bump!
Do you really think the PRIVATE SECTOR would hire them? < / sarcasm >
Totally agree with you. Basically, our country is on the verge of bankruptcy (if not already over the line). No one is willing to face our financial issues, instead our politicians get us all distracted with nonsense things like “transgenders in the military” or “Russian conspiracies.” Meanwhile the debt clock is running faster and faster and faster. And where is all the money going? Did we ever get an accounting for the trillions that basically disappeared as a result of Obama’s “stimulus programs”?
I think it would be good for nonessential parts of our government to be shut down for a while. Maybe at some point people will realize we don’t need a lot of this nonsense.
Actually there is not going to be Republican Party after Trump. The Republican Party, faux opposition, has to die and get out of the way so an actual opposition party can then form.
Mega Dittos.
Nice thought Jim, but, really, do you think the GOP will follow through?
