This is a problem. McConnell and the Republicans won't override his veto because they don't want to be primaried from the right and Speaker Pelosi cannot give in to terrorist threats, plus they would get killed in the polls for giving in at this point.
I don't see how this ends right now.
They think they are all in DC. The majority of them work in other parts of the country.
Didn't DeSantis appoint a few Democrats to his cabinet? This is a real shock coming from a man who set himself up as a Trump lackey.
It's just an ignorant assumption with no basis in fact. Basically, the usual mode of thinking for those types of people.
I did not know that people using "autos" instead of "cars" was a thing.
Everyone is going to love it when people can't fly anywhere because nobody is showing up to work.
We are reaching the point where it's going to take workers marching into the senate and demanding they hold a vote. This would have already been over back in the day because pitchforks hurt.
Yeah, my concern is more that I don't trust the JDs when it comes to candidate recruitment when pulling this off, which sucks because this absolutely should be done.
I mean, if you are REALLY hankering for a terrible recession/possible depression, then sure, refuse to sign off on raising the debt ceiling and let the U.S.'s credit rating be downgraded and maybe even suggest that the government might default on its loan payments. That will get those poll numbers going back in the right direction for certain.
There was a story yesterday about the friction between their teams, largely because of the transition. DeSantis was trying to begin setting up shop but because Scott's recount was taking longer he wasn't giving any time or space for the transition. Scott also decided he was going to throw himself an inaugural ball, and held it the same day and time as DeSantis'. And he threw a party in the governor's mansion after DeSantis and his family moved in.
Scott just seems like a petty asshole. Rubio doesn't like him either.
Important to not forget the author of Art of the Deal was convinced Trump was gonna take everyone down with him.
Yeah, this sounds increasingly like he is looking for a way out. Dems should offer $500 for some chain-link fencing and call it "Peaches Magoo's Big Honking Wall" and see if he bites.
0. It's only an issue when Rs are in the majority in the House.
The Senate and the Democratic House won't play around with it.
The Rs are simply waiting to see if the tide turns against the Ds. They'll keep it shut down if Ds start taking an equal or greater share of the blame.
If that doesn't happen, they will have to act at some point. Politically, they can't survive an indefinite shutdown (whatever risk in overriding a veto, this will be worse).
I'm surprised Trump hasn't actually done it yet. There is no endgame here, Trump is owning the shutdown and (as far as I'm aware), he's being increasingly blamed by the American people for it.
What's the endgame here? Hope and pray dems cave?
Taking the mantle of "longest shutdown in US history" isn't exactly the legacy you want

Pretty sure they're re-implementing deem and pass specifically to avoid that.
Think this applies to Klobuchar potentially as well. Almost no one has her as a first choice, but almost everyone would be okay with her as a backup option.
I assume this is also the alternate universe where the House GOP is a functional caucus.
She wouldn't push him to do something that doesn't actually need doing.
I mean Ayanna was also the perfect candidate to take down Capauno (and I actually think Kara Eastman could've won if that NYT poll didn't show her down by a bajillion and donors thought it was winnable earlier)
What an odd statement to make when the shutdown began at a time when this was true.
Now if you want a good example of a media darling getting dunked on by his new fans, there's your thread.
I really appreciate that roughly half of conservatives are fed up with the BS that Mitch and Ryan pulled at the end of last year.
THEYVE BEEN DOING THIS LV TRACKER SINCE THE INAUGURATION IT'S HILARIOUSLY INSANE
This is easily the best year for the dems since 08. The unity + GOP attacks landing for the first time in a WHILE. no cowering and fear. All we need is a well liked candidate and we'll win everyfuckingthing in 2020
The entire country is in an abusive relationship with a malignant narcissist.
I actually sort of respected this asshole for a bit for how he handled getting dunked on by SNL, and for reaching out to Davison when he posted those worrying tweets.
But fuck him.
We all know that Americans don't commit crimes, only brown foreigners do.
Is a /s even necessary? Maybe.
Not that odd when you consider these people are fucking morons.
I confused Eric Swalwell for Ron DeSantis in that thumbnail and got very confused.
Oh, he didn't get dunked on by SNL, what happened there was genuinely asinine.
I'm not going to bag on the guy for a dumb tweet...but if it keeps up I might. He's new, and he served, so I'm willing to give him extra benefit of the doubt on this.
