All white men look alike. I call all of them Bill.

Only if older than 45.

Between 30 and 45 they are all Mike or Chris.

Younger than that it’s Noah or Aiden.

I think wall funding in exchange for a DACA Fix, Mueller Protection, and some other pound of blood would be worth considering... but I think McConnell is smart enough to know he is getting rollled.

Of course, theoretically I think McConnell is smart enough to know that the shutdown will be completely untenable for them in about a week and a half. So I don’t know.

At this point, for the most part, I’m pretty sure most employees have at least gotten a partial pay check for their last pay period because the federal government pays in arrears like everyone else. So all of this TSA people being forced to work for free all got paid st least a portion of a paycheck on the 28th.

They won’t get paid at all on the 11th (or thereabouts). That’s when shit will start to get real because all those people will not continue to come to work for free indefinitely. Strand some people in DCA for a couple of days because the TSA is not manned, and the public pressure will be prettay high.

I also think pelosi’s plan was not all that brilliant. If I were McConnell I would have looked at those 7 bills and introduced the ones they would alleviate the most pressure for me while leaving some of the agencies shutdown.

This is really a case of who blinks first and there's no reason at this time for Trump to blink.

The Democrats need to find something/anything that makes him think the government shutdown is bad for him.
As long as Trump sees a shuttered government as a good thing he's not going to reopen it.

I had this idea that seeing the empty White House when he remained over the weekend might change his mind.
But apart from the people with machine guns not waving back he didn't seem to care much.

As he sees it if there is no wall, there is no border and if there is no border there is no country anyway.

Even if you consider the wall as being completely valueless, Trump's overweening desire for it is reason enough to set a very high price.

"Give him his top priority, which he couldn't get when his party had the House, in exchange for nothing, at the very moment he's lost a ton of leverage" is not good politics!

Doesn't that mean the gop wants open borders?

This Democratic Party argument over the Paygo rules reminds me of the paygo law that Democrats passed on a party line vote in 2010.

How stupid were these motherfuckers to pass a law that allows the White House to unilaterally cut spending when a bill doesn’t pay for itself? It’s like it’s a thing that actually only hampers Democrats because Republicans always want to cut spending anyway.

They have veto proof majorities and choose spending cuts as the pain point instead of some sort of unilateral tax increase.

I think the best chance of getting rid of Trump before 2024 is to deny him the nomination in 2020. I wasn't a fan of Romney in 2012 and I voted for Obama, but I would take him in a heartbeat over Donald fucking Trump and his cavalcade of grifters and white supremacists.
