Supposedly Trump was floating getting back to last year's deal but that's because he's an idiot. If he wants wall funding he'll have to give up a lot that his base would crucify him for -- something like a full DREAM Act, Voting Rights Act stuff, rolling back of a bunch of Trumpian garbage policies, etc, and that's the whole reason we're here anyway.
I'm sure they'd be open for a trade if one actually might exist. There's just no chance of such a thing existing, and if there is republicans should be the ones to come up with it. "plus something else" isn't that.
Exactly -- nothing they are willing to offer would be what is worth giving them wall funding for, which again, even most Republican officials don't actually want.
That's mostly Graham I think. but it shows that they're not at all united as Trump likes to claim. They know they're in deeper and deeper jeopardy in 2020 the longer this goes and lol @ Graham even being in that meeting. The other Senators there like Gardener/Collins, who are actually in danger of losing their seats, said they'd reopen Govt now, without a wall. When their constituents start getting more and more pissed, the more they'll make noise too about moving this along. Not that I care, they're all gonna get wiped out regardless in the end.
ahhhh snap son
a job where you can randomly loose months or even years of salary does t seem like a good option. aure there will be people that have noother option but if you do its high time to change jobs
good.
The senate GOP refuses to consider a bill that Trump won't sign.
It's not, which is why I'm always so surprised when posters call for banning what they assume are bad faith or disengenuous instead of ignoring or engaging.
Surely we're not quite there yet...But once people begin to starve after food assistance goes away, after people become homeless by the hundreds of thousands, then yes, maybe.
Because if they can get Trump's dumb ass to agree to something, then they don't need to get a 2/3 majority vote for it to be veto-proof.
No, we are already there. We're not at the point where people have nothing to lose, but we are at the point where people are being held hostage by the government, and are being hurt because of it. SEcurity at facilities are understaffed. Food inspections have halted. A million people have already missed out on a paycheck. Those are just a few examples.
I'm actually hoping DACA funding gets through into whatever the "long term" bill is even if it means paying for "Increased Border Security".
When you put it that way, it does sound pretty fucking bad :/
and that's why you don't pay ransoms.
It's not about empowering him. Considering Republicans have the senate, a compromise bill is going to have to pass. And I'd really like that compromise bill to have DACA protections so less people get hurt. If that means building a dumb wall or fence or w/e, I say go for it (provided there's the regulations on it above).
