Note: Congress had everything they needed to override the veto with the Senate's version of the bill. Ryan had the votes he needed in the House. The only reason Ryan didn't bring it to the floor was because Trump said he wouldn't sign it even though it's irrelevant because Congress can easily override the veto.

All this does is push him further away from your cause. It's not effective, stop.
Haha.

So any white person is imbued with racism at birth?

I agree that there are signals everywhere downplaying non-white skin, however I do believe one isn't immediately corrupted by those. Perhaps confused? A kid would normally ask his/her parents "Why is X thing like that on TV?" and then it is up to the parent to teach good values to the child and how should these signals be interpreted.

IDK, I feels like it's a very generalistic statement. I'm not offended by it, but I do think it's wrong to think that everyone is racist at birth. Humans are clean at birth, it is the world and how it's made that corrupts them, the parents will play an enormous role in how a child will develop.
Who cares? We're not arguing semantics. In practice within the real world; all white people are racist to some extent. What you do based on that is what matters. Hint: Going "I'm certainly not racist at all!!!!!!" ain't it.

Well the good news is that this will ruin Agent Oranges Christmas plans. He cannot just skip out without signing a spending and picture how the news will go if he is caught golfing during the Trump Shutdown.

This is certainly a take.

Question: If certain people decided not to come in and vote why were others coming in from all over the country, even to vote no? I would understand the yes people to try and pass their bullshit, but even the ones voting no? I don't get it.

in a fair world, politicians would be on TV 247 screaming about how trump owns this shutdown and exactly why that is. what the reality will be is that trump will win on the narrative side because the dems are so ineffectual and will eventually cave on his demands
 
Trump really does only want to be a reality star getting non-stop photo ops every day for no other reason than to promote the Trump brand.

What's amazing about his narcissism is how shallow it is.

Someone else said it best: Trump is a human nothingburger.

They're going to be largely off TV and those who are on it are going to be on w/ that message. Schumer seems to have learned his lesson.

The cable news media loves Trump. Don't fight for attention, let him take it.

Don, lift up the top of the notebook, they'll see that there's nothing on it.

Between these and the ones where he's holding a phone up to his ear.... god what a joke of a human being.

Yes. Schumer/McConnell came to an agreement to just let this procedural vote pass, which is why Corker, Flake and Jones all flipped to create the tie for Pence to break.

Someone from the Dems needed to do it because there are missing Rs and so Jones was the easy choice because a vote like this isn't going to hurt in Alabama.

The reason this is being done is that the Senate is going to work on their own CR and throw it back to the house, and passing an amended House bill is simpler than starting from scratch.

McConnell doesn't have 50 votes for the House bill.
But why did they need to make it a tie for Pence to break? Why not just vote to pass it since that was what was what they wanted anyways?

Has this ended yet or have they still not voted?

Is there a deadline for the vote tonight?
