re: #255 Targetpractice

The time to look “reasonable” and “willing to compromise” was five weeks back, when Donny could have signed this temporary measure and still bullshitted the faithful that he was gonna get that wall funding.

Now? Now he is so weakened that nobody takes seriously his “threats” to force another shutdown or blow off his own dick by making a national emergency declaration.

Nancy’s pretty much right, when Feb 15th comes, Donny is gonna find some way to spin money for a fence as “wall funding” to avoid another shutdown. He’s going to find a way to claim “victory.”

This.
I’m thinking the most-likely outcome is going to be that Congress (mainly the Senate) is going to spend the next three weeks desperately trying to craft a “compromise” deal that will fund the G til 9/30 - no Wall, of course - and give the Moron-in-Chief some sort of vaguely-credible “out” to try to avoid any (further) humiliation.
IOW, what they should have been doing for the last three weeks, except for Mitch McConnell’s (uncharacteristically unsuccessful) attempt to play the Big Fucking Kingmaker Of The Senate…
