re: #203 Targetpractice

Here’s how I expect the next week will go:

1) House and Senate GOP leaders will try to fashion up funding bills that include the $5B for Donny’s vanity project, with one or the other saying “This is the only bill we’ll be voting on.”

2) Both will jump in front of the cameras and lambast the DNC leadership (particularly Nancy) for refusing to “negotiate” on the matter, saying that a hardline “No” is hurtful to the American people.

3) The DNC will hold fast (though Chuck may waver), forcing the GOP to whip the fuck out of their caucuses and try to offer a few trinkets to Blue Dog Dems to get the votes to put the bill on Donny’s desk.

4) The whips will take a count and realize they don’t have the votes to pass the bills, forcing another round of bleating from the GOP about how the DNC are hurting Americans by refusing to “negotiate” and that this is totally un-American.

5) Finally, either Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning, a race will begin to fashion together stop-gap bills that will push the whole thing out another month or 2, just to get past the holidays, with assurances that they’re not abandoning the fight for the wall funding but just avoiding a painful shutdown that “nobody wants.”

6) The bills get passed at the 11th hour and rushed to Donny’s desk, he bullshits his way into signing them, and the media that has spent weeks talking up the direness of the situation assure folks the crisis has passed…for now.

I may be late to point this out, but I think this session of Congress is closed tomorrow.
