    Default BAM, endgame in sight for Shutdown...

    5-6 Republicans came out today in favor of opening individual portions of the Government.

    You got Rubio joining the usual suspects this morning.

    Maybe this is how it ends, leaving the single issue of the wall outstanding after the government is back and running otherwise.

    18 U.S. Code § 2071 - Concealment, removal, or mutilation generally
    44 U.S.C. 2202 - The United States shall reserve and retain complete ownership, possession, and control of Presidential records; and such records shall be administered in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.


    LOCK HIM UP!

    same as it was before on the votes, maybe a few less...try again.
    Leadership is backing Trump -see what happens today when he goes to Capitol Hill

    Who said they wanted a monument of you?

    here is a dirty secret about politics

    if people believe you won, then you did.
    NPC is a beloved internet personality. Their pronouns are he/him. NPC fully recognizes the inherent privilege of being able to post on a message board, and as such NPC makes sure to avoid all social media where the trust and safety council flags something as dangerous to think about. He avoids all tweets that are disputed, and only supports mainstream news sources where former CIA, NSA and FBI serve as talking heads.The future is female, orange man bad, black lives matter, and wear a damn mask!

    That is the way this should be resolved.

    Trump should claim victory...just by signing whatever comes to him from congress.

    His supporters (!) are fucking morons who will accept anything he says as gospel.

    That is the only way out of this.

    He is not going to get that wall.

    i can't say whether a wall will happen or not but I believe trump has leverage because at the end of the day, democrats operate on feels and conservatives honestly don't give a shit if the government is shut down.

    Some red senators are abandoning ship. There are now 7. They care about keeping their jobs. If Daffy costs them votes, they will be gone. then Trump will be alone.

    The longer it goes on the more non-essential employees will quit and find real jobs, and that will reduce the federal workforce, maybe help to balance the budget.

    They have real jobs now, Tinkerbell.

    You should look into that some day. Get off the welfare rolls and save us the money.
