“This ‘nyah nyah’ is going to go on for a while,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) said Thursday.

Even if a deal were struck, Kennedy added, “I’m not entirely convinced that anybody would vote for it. I can’t see the Dems voting for anything because they’re not going to get pounded for funding ICE. And the Republicans on my side are not going to get pounded for hurting ICE.”


Foghorn Leghorn might be wrong here. I think they are already getting pounded. People were pissed about the drawdown in MN.

Most of the agents won't get paid if the government shuts down.

The GOPe seems perfectly fine with this.
