An agreement has been reached to keep the government open
- Thread starter kylecoley182
- Start date
The four lead bipartisan negotiators, emerging from talks Monday night, declined to get into details on how the agreement was struck, but when asked whether it included barrier funding and a resolution to the detention bed issue, Senate Appropriations Chairman Richard Shelby said: "We got an agreement on all of it."

More insultingly, Trump agreed to 1.6 for a physical barrier last year after a prolonged showdown in which he asked for much more lmao dude is the worst negotiator on the planet
Dems should offer 10 billion in return for actual universal healthcare coverage, DACA protection, a lifting on the Muslim ban, less privatized prisons, more oversight in prisons and in the police force, a higher education budget, stricter gun control policies, and some form of LGBTQ+ protection.
Small price to pay. You can tell shitwad he's getting DOUBLE what he asked for (the best deal folks), and in return Democrats can actually help Americans.

So a fence and a cap on how many kids/families they can cage up? Sounds okay?
They haven't used any of the already allocated 1.6 billion for the wall after he blasted that on Twitter lasted year
That's a roundtrip for me to and from work.
Ahahahahahahah
aahahahahahahahahahaha
I'm not shocked. The Dems are showing their worthlessness again and again. I cannot fucking wait until the new breed takes over this party.
Cue the right wing radio claiming illegals commute to work around bollards!
You act like Republicans care if they have beds to put the kids in.
In like 30 years? If you honestly think Democrats are worthless then you should probably support a third party. The vast, vast majority of Democrats in government are old, the young members are a minority and it will take generations before the more radical parts of the party are able to take hold. Most of the new members who helped take back the House are moderate Democrats who won in Trump leaning districts, they aren't swinging super left anytime soon.
I understand this board is a bit of a bubble but the average American is much much much more conservative than the average Reset Era poster.
This is a complete surrender if Trump signs this.
Looks like he already has a backup plan though:
Note: this proposed executive order (to allow the WH to shift around budgets without Congressional approval) is even more likely to get laughed out of court than his SoE. It's a gross overreach of the office that makes appropriations pointless.

I mean isn't the budget THE thing for the house? You can't even do budget fuckery like that in a company wthout backlash
I love this verse, so no kickbacks for shell companies. Less likely
overreact more
55 miles(lol) of existing shit:
I'm really confused. I thought this was a committee with both republicans and democrats on it. While I'm thrilled if we can get out of this mess without any major stupid wall, I do not understand at all why any republicans would agree to any of this. It sounds like a complete and utter defeat
I guess what I'm saying is what's the catch?

so they're back to stealing disaster relief funding from Puerto Rico and California (but not Texas this time, because Republicans)
i'm guessing trump/repubs are desperate for anything they can sell as a win to their base, since anybody with a lick of sense already knows who is to blame for this last month and a half of whackjob shennanigans (to make light of a serious issue)
I can see Trump vetoing this and I'll be shocked if there's enough Republicans willing to go against him to make it veto-proof.
Why are Democrats wasting their time "negotiating" with Republicans in congress? They don't have any power anymore. They're just trump's rubber stamps.
Trump will call the deal bullshit, and every single republican will cave.
This doesn't even even get a Senate vote without trump's blessing.

I dont post a lot here, but these comments irritate me every time.
Mitch loses the "Democrats won't come to the table and be reasonable" card if he throws away a bipartisan compromise.
Trump signaled at his rally that he doesn't really care what's in the bill (he seriously said he hasn't read it), that it's probably good, and that he'll find a way to finish the wall no matter what. So it looks like he's just going to rely on his rabid base being uninformed and believing everything he says, which has worked pretty well for him.
But again, without his masters blessing, this never gets a Senate vote. And trump will pro.ise a veto as soon as some talking head on fox criticizes him.
I see this happening. Trump says he doesn't like it, then all of a sudden Turtle will say no vote.
Yikes. Ignored. If you're going to come into this conversation forsaking nuance and details, then I'm not sure why you expect anyone to take you seriously.
I'll reserve my judgement for when I read up more about this, but this looks to me like an actual compromise. With the Senate still majority Republican and Mr. Turtle abdicating his Constitutional responsibilities (and allowed to by the rest of the Senate Republicans), Democrats DO have to work with them to some degree. You want that to change? Vote in 2020, and get other people to vote then, too.
