A bipartsian bill that has 60 votes in the Senate and a majority of votes in the House that extends the DACA protections as part of an actual budget bill. There are multiple such bills on the floor of both the House and the Senate right now.
McConnell and Ryan refuse to give any of them the light of day.
The lie in the statement you are quoting is that they have been compromising. Nothing could be further from the truth. What Ryan has been proposing is a bill that only has support from republicansâŚand not even all republicans. There has been zero attempts at involving Dems in this legislative effort, much like there was zero involvement with the tax bill and the aborted attempts at healthcare.
Well spank me with a Forbes, Iâm surprised Trump screwed this up. With his multiple positions on all the issues (the government positions, not the Stormy onesâŚ) I would have thought it would have been smooth sailing and all would be great again. Turtle&Raynd Inc will pull this together, and weâll MAGA like itâs 1859 !
Actually running for reelection is beside the point for Trump.
Itâs a joint fundraiser with the RNC. Itâs $100k per couple. Everything is a dick measuring contest with Trump so the price tag alone is catnip to him. âno president has ever raised as much money as I have!â âIâm the greatest fundraising president history!.â
Remember, heâs using campaign and RNC funds to pay his and his families lawyers.
And I bet you Mar-A-Lagoâs bill is also the largest in history.
Ayn Randâs acolyte in the House hadnât yet learned that controlling the levers of power doesnât mean having the unfettered ability to pull those levers. This is especially true when the acolyte in question cannot control his own caucus.
Little Paulie Rayn isnât interested in governing â governing is the art of compromise and negotiation. The first thing to understand about governing is that it is rarely a zero-sum game. But Little Paulie hasnât figured that out yet. The whole idea is to create win-win situations, but that seems to be a concept that is beyond Paulieâs comprehension.
âI understand thereâs some discussions about short-term CRs right now ⌠that will take us into next week. Keep in mind, I understand the House has already left or is leaving, so if the Senate passes anything else than what the House has passed you could wind up in a short-term lapse in funding,â Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney told reporters Friday morning at the White House.
And this is exactly what Grover Norquist and the Koch brothers want; proof that government doesnât work, although the Krazy Kaucus is the main reason for the shutdown. Donât worry, they will just blame the âDemocrat partyâ for not being âbipartisan.â To them, that word means knuckling under to anything the majority wantsâŚsadly, our system doesnât work that way. Happy anniversary, Mr. president*! So. Much. Winning.
