A 37 hour shutdown that affects 8% of federal govt is not in any way Armageddon

Huh, yes the shutdown does effect the military. I had orders cancelled as well. I know of multiple training missions that will get cancelled if this isn’t resolved. Unless you work at the pentagon and have more insight than us, then you are wrong.

The Nos have it with 43. Now to see if they actually follow through. Schumer is already squirming by suggesting a very short term CR (3 days) to allow for more time to negotiate.

He'll crawfish. They don't have the hand to shut it down.

No way they die on the DACA Hill.

R's can kill them with AA votes on this, if they are smart(so that is questionable)

Schumer calls for a cloture vote tonight and McConnell objected. A failed cloture vote tonight would effectively shutdown the government tonight allowing for a 24 hr news circus tomorrow as Ds try to "negotiate" a deal to avoid shutdown. It looks like McConnell is going to try to run the clock out on them and force a vote with not time left on the clock.

Well, you sound like a dumbass.

And unless Virginia gets attacked, you appear to be non-essential.

Remember. most of the gov't shuts down every weekend. All gov't employees get back paid. No big deal, shut it down.

Is correct.

Trump is off to a fund raiser.
McConnell confessed trump is unclear.

Who are the illegals competing for jobs with?

Dims want to throw away the AA's for the new sympathy vote in the dreamers.

Senate isn't scheduled to open until 11:00 am. Last House vote is at 11:00 am and then House is expected to release members for the weekend. This points to the only option on the table being the current CR that is DOA in Senate (if the Ns don't flip).

I know this is the shareblue narrative and I know your black little heart likely believes it.

But, that's just not reality. Sad that you must lie to try to make a point but that is the reality.

frickers with their nation of laws bullshite, amirite? Dems will literally not fund the gov't unless we blindly create legal status with no background checks or due diligence of illegal aliens. If it sounds, smells, and taste like shite, its probaly shite.
