The shutdown IS his plan. Flynn gets sentenced today, right? So what better way to suck the oxygen from those pending revelations than a shutdown coming Friday?
Even if the shutdown gets cancelled last minute, the looming threat means that the talking heads on TV will increasingly be chatting about that instead of the latest Mueller news.
If Democrats and 60% off Republicans pass a bill it would be veto proof. That is the simple solution. I bet Trump wouldnât even veto it.
Congress has until Friday to pass a spending bill, or a partial funding bill, but Republicans know they donât have enough Democratic support for the $5 billion Trump wants for his border wall.
Wait a minute ⌠this whole FUBAR charade is happening in the current congress - the one where there is
a GOP majority in the House - and - a GOP majority in the Senate
long before there is any mention of this ill-conceived stupidity lacking âDemocratic supportâ (- as - duh - it should )
there must be absolute blunt & explicit discussion of the fact that the GOP majority does not have enough of their own ranks lined up behind this stunt âŚ
Democrats have made it clear that this is a really really bad idea - and they want no part of it - and if the GOP wants it - it is up to the GOP to muster their own currently available resources - but they canât ⌠because there are members of the GOP who also think this is stupid âŚ
Exactly. What theyâre really doing is hemming and hawing and checking their poll numbers hourly to see who would be first to get the blame. Seems more like a game of intra-party chicken at this pointâŚwhich is why McTurtle should get the ultimate blame. His bootlicking, enabling bullshit has been the sole reason tRump feels empoweredâŚand why we canât have nice things. Its McConnell that should get blamed. Heâs fucking evil.
Btw, havenât heard a thing about Elaine Chao in her position as Sec. of Transportation in a whole two fucking years, have we now? Somehow sheâs managed to slip through the cracks, escape all attention from the media and skate by when every other agency head has faced scrutiny. I find that remarkable. And apparently, sheâs not planning on leaving after the first of the year like so many others are. Life must be good for the McConnells. I guess that second income comes in handy in their household.
ETA: Oh, hereâs what Chaoâs been up toâŚLike I say, life must be good for the McTurtles.
Btw, this woman was picked for her job only a couple weeks after tRump won the electoral college. Sheâs basically been on Easy Street at our expense.
Gesundheit.
No fucking way will Mueller news get passed over because of a government shut down. Weâve had threats of government shut downs in the past, will continue to have threats of government shut downs in the future, but sentencing for a 3 star Lt. Gen. that actively worked for a foreign government all the while becoming the National Security Adviser to the President doesnât happen every administration.
Cornyn: âIf There Isâ A Plan To Eschew Shutdown 'Iâm Not Aware Of Itâ
What was the question they asked Cornyn?
Was it: âCan you list ten things youâre not aware ofâ?
Itâs called scandal fatigue. Flynn is only the latest guilty plea of how many now?
When an event becomes the norm, the media gets bored with it quickly.
BS, I donât know what media youâre following but this one has legs, this one is important, this one at itâs heart is a threat to our sovereignty. Yes Joe Schmoo canât keep up, but there are plenty of people who do care.
The âscandal fatigueâ is real for KAC, SHS, and even the President himself and his lie du jour, this story involves a career military man, a man that was in military intelligence, a man who was decorated, so there are so many pieces of this that will become important.
He knows it is a word that his base does not know. And that they wonât ascribe any anti-Trump implications to their senator if he uses it.
No, that would require their grifting lazy asses to work every day. Once a month is probably the limit.
Pretty sure âEschew Shutdownâ is another example of a talented headline writer at work.
