re: #193 fern01

2 weeks - so people can get their back pay, pay their bills and prepare to be broke again. I worry about Schumer when he is not sitting next to Nancy.

Mitch refused a vote on a CR without TEH WALL for damn near a month because he knew it would pass and humiliate both him and Trump. That he even put a wall-less CR up for a vote sounds almost like he’s caving, not Schumer.

re: #184 lawhawk

Both would get voted on. Trump’s idiotic wall bill will fail on the cloture, while the one to fund govt thru Feb 8 passes, kicking the can over to Trump to veto this nonsense.

This is McConnell’s way of passing the buck because he’s reading the tea leaves.

Addendum:
That assumes that McConnell thinks the shutdown should end. If he wants it to continue, he’ll make sure the continuing resolution also fails - and tries to pass it off as Democrats refusing to deal (SS/DD).

Whatever passes the Senate will immediately face reconciliation with the House CR. Assuming that the CR with TEH WALL is passed by the Senate, and reconciliation strips out TEH WALL, it’s resubmitted to Mitch.

So will Mitch be smart and take the fucking exit ramp out of this disaster Trump refuses to take when THAT wall-less CR is resubmitted, or will he make it even worse by stonewalling again?
