“If a majority is good enough in the House and a majority would have kept government from shutting down, I think that’s a whole case the American public would say, ‘That’s a responsible way to govern,’” House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy told Roll Call.
Asked if he thinks Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell would consider ending the legislative filibuster — coming on the heels of recent rules changes to lower the threshold to advance executive and judicial nominees by a majority only — McCarthy said, “That’s a question for Mitch.”Personally I sort of agree with the concept that we need a good Government shut down, so I would be against said change in rules specifically over this. However, I do wonder why a short term funding bill could not be passed via some sort of reconciliation? After all, it is really just a budgetary thing, something that generally qualifies for reconciliation. If you can claim Obamacare falls under reconciliation, then you can claim a short term funding bill does as well. I believe you can do so with a great deal of credibility.
The question would be, would the Democrats who bucked their leadership still do so if their vote actually meant something tangible, rather than just something symbolic?

i wouldn't nuke the filibuster over this. let the government stay shut down for a good long time. just make sure the military gets paid. other than that, let it stay shut down. once people realize it's not that big of a deal, and they can actually go on with their lives, perhaps they'll come to realize that they don't need such a gargantuan leviathan government.
Screw the minorities if it suits your own agenda....don't complain when it bites you in the ass which it will.....You got congress and the WH.....All you need is 9 dem's to get something done....Isn't trump the great negotiator??? Well negotiate instead of sticking your thumb up your ass.....How sad the party of no is now the party of WHINE!!!!!!
Hence McConnell's reluctance to completely nuke the filibuster.
But when the government is nonfunctional because of Democrat intransigence then it's sure tempting.
Just watched the add by the RNC. It expressed fear like the Nazis claimed that the Jews were murderous, who should never be allowed into the country.

HB is wrong again. It is not "Congress" that caused this shutsown, it is the Senate, Senator Schumer.
If he voted "Yes" many Dems would have gone with him.

President and the porn star.
GREENVILLE, S.C. — Year 2 of the Trump presidency began here overnight much like Year 1 had ended: with his alleged ex-mistress smashing people's faces into her bare chest at a strip club between an airport and a cemetery.
Adult film star Stormy Daniels, who once claimed to have slept with Donald Trump not long after he married Melania, performed at 11 p.m. Saturday — the anniversary of his inauguration — and 1 a.m. Sunday here on the outskirts of town.
"HE SAW HER LIVE," the Trophy Club's flier said. "YOU CAN TOO!"
The federal government remained shut down, but Daniels was open for business.
She had received $130,000 in hush money days before the 2016 election as part of a payment arranged by a Trump attorney, according to the Wall Street Journal. And now Daniels was capitalizing on her new notoriety sparked by the revelation, though Trump's attorney had issued a statement in which he and Daniels denied the payment and, on Saturday night, Daniels was largely silent in that regard.
If this was France everybody would be saying so what?
What does this have to do with the filibuster anyway?
None of the top Republicans want to follow Trump on the filibuster change. They used it against Obama a lot.
Go Vikings.
Depends on how far the Democrats are ready to go on their suicide mission.
Don't bet on the suicide.
Don't believe your own propaganda. The polls show that the President is more to blame

so an antifa terrorist damn near killed a guy in NYC the other night -
The protester accused of choking a Trump supporter late Saturday outside a Manhattan nightclub also tried to put an arresting NYPD officer in a headlock, authorities said.
The 30-year-old peeled off from a group of about 80 rallying after spotting the man, cops said, and followed him as he left FREQ nightclub in Hell’s Kitchen, which was hosting ticketed event “A Night For Freedom.”
Campbell allegedly jumped the Trump supporter once they were a block away, punching him and choking him so aggressively that he was not breathing and had a faint pulse.
First responders had to perform CPR, and the victim finally regained consciousness when he was in the ambulance, authorities said.
The man was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition.
Campbell, who was also carrying a can of Mace, was charged with strangulation, multiple counts of assault, resisting arrest, loitering, criminal possession of a weapon, and obstruction of government administration, police said.
He was also booked on charges of attempted assault and attempted criminal obstruction of breathing after he tried to put an officer in a headlock, authorities said.
The cop was treated for his injuries at Mount Sinai St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center.

I'm wondering why he wasn't charged with attempted murder.
There was certainly enough evidence to do so.
hopefully that charge will be added. seems logical. we are long past the time that an example needs to be made out of one of these fucksticks.
what amazes my is how democrats can support antifa terrorists, support criminal alien cop killers, support traitors manning and bergdahl, support the absolute scum of the fuicking earth... and never pay a political price for it. like i said, amazing.
An illegal alien who killed two women in a drunken hit-and-run in Louisville, Ky. in October has been deported eight times, the Justice Department revealed on Wednesday.
Miguel Angel Villasenor-Saucedo, 40, was driving a truck on the night of Oct. 22 when he hit and killed two women who were on the side of a highway in Louisville following a traffic accident. After striking the women, the Mexican national fled the scene on foot.

QOTD:
"The Dems aren’t satisfied with the voters they have. They want the voters that they’re not allowed to have by law. And they’re holding the country hostage until the White House and the Senate majority elected by the voters agree to break the law and destroy the country.
Democrats don’t care about illegal aliens out of the goodness of their crooked hearts. If the average illegal alien crossing the border were Republican, the wall would be up yesterday. And it would be topped with heavy artillery and surrounded by a moat filled with piranhas and crocodiles. Drones would fire Hellfire missiles at anyone even looking at it the wrong way because he might be a Republican...
...Is there anything that the Democrats care more about than exploiting illegal aliens for political power?"

One year in, is Donald Trump's presidency a fluke or a political turning point?
By most political measures, Donald Trump shouldn’t be in the White House. That’s not an assessment of his policies or fitness for the job. Rather, it’s judging by the rules that once seemed to govern presidential campaigning.
Trump never held office, never served in government or spent a day in military uniform. His campaign was slipshod; he was vastly outspent by his Democratic rival and faced strong Republican opposition after a hostile takeover of the GOP.
Perhaps most striking, more than 60% of those surveyed thought Trump was unqualified to be president the day he was elected. The same exit polls found Trump viewed favorably by fewer than 4 in 10 Americans; only 1 in 3 considered him “honest and trustworthy.”
Those are the sort of vital signs that should render a candidate dead on arrival, election day being the occasion of their unceremonious burial. Trump, though, had the great fortune to face an opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton, who was also deeply unpopular and, worse, represented for many change-hungry voters the hated status quo.
Which raises a question on Trump’s first anniversary as president: Was his victory a fluke?

Oh, in the meantime, Schumer has been claiming he offered a grand compromise to the president and the GOP, offering to support authorization for the wall.
That's a con. The wall was authorized in 2006; what is lacking is appropriations for money to actually build it. So Schumer has been claiming he's "compromising" by offering to authorized that which was authorized going on 12 years now. While continuing to not offer what is actually needed, money.

Trump had nothing to do with the agreement today. McConnell and Schumer worked together. They worked around the President, because his staff will jump in and tell him to back off and it will anger his 20% of hard core supporters, like most of the "truthers".
Last year, Trump called the Dreamers “these incredible kids,” . Since then his staff told him to quit sounding so sympathetic.
The same thing twice, was after the meal with "Nancy and Chuck" they both said they had room to work. His staff, mostly Steve Miller, who is a total nutcase, gets his ear and told him to back down. It happened after the meeting with the famous picture of Schumer and the President in the Oval office. His staff privately again intervened and told him to take a harsh stand.
Both sides don't know what they are going to get from the President. Is he going to choose sides and work with the Democrats on the Dreamers, and the Democrats will reluctantly, but agree to his stupid wall. But if Steve Miller, who seems to be overstepping General Kelly, there won't be a compromise, and we may not ever get a settlement on February 8th.
“His heart is right on this issue; I think he’s got a good understanding of what will sell, and every time we have a proposal, it is only yanked back by staff members,” Senator Graham and I think he may be correct, even though he's still a self loving narcissistic goof ball, he knows what will sell. But again, Steve Miller will be there telling him to keep is base happy, and fuck everyone else. Trump promised to bring us together, but the only think that a majority of Americans think he's incompetent.
Lol, handicapped HB.

His campaign online advertisement said “complicit in every murder committed by illegal immigrants.”. That is to me reminiscent of Nazi Germany.
But beyond my feelings, we had a massive wave of immigrants from the 1870s until about the start of World War One. Most of the immigrants were unskilled, uneducated people who wanted a chance at a life for their families. They came from Italy, a poor country in huge numbers, they were the "WOP's" Without Papers. They are now just like every group, part of the country. But they did bring the Mafia. I suspect that if you people were alive then, you would be saying the same bullshit.
The odds are that most if not all of you are descendants of unvested immigrants. We didn't screen them until around the 1917 era. I am a direct descendant of a German who came here in 1759. My family fraught in the Revolutionary War.
There is a simple solution for the problem. Employers should be required to prove they are legally in he county. The Republicans fought this with tooth and nail.

Darn funny, so the bleeders did not get a continuation of the Schumer Shutdown.
It was a very weak effort by the Democrats.
A contrary opinion.
Trump Won the Washington Post "Fake News".
To be clear, most Senate Democrats wound up voting to reopen the government. They did so after a deal was struck in which Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) was assured that the Senate would vote on some kind of immigration deal by Feb. 8 — and if they didn't have a deal, there would be an up-or-down vote on DACA, the program protecting the children of illegal immigrants from deportation. Just 16 of the 49 members of the Senate Democratic caucus voted no, and it's a group that is full of potential 2020 contenders like Harris who have a clear interest in appealing to the base.
ADVERTISING
But that's also the point. Those members have made appealing to the Democratic base their raison d'etre, and they've quickly wagered that this thing isn't going to fly with that same base. The base was cheering Democrats for taking a stand on behalf of so-called dreamers and demanding that they be protected; instead, Schumer has merely been assured of a vote on something to-be-determined that may or may not succeed.
It's possible that could wind up amounting to significant leverage! If both chambers pass a DACA bill or a larger immigration bill and put it on President Trump's desk, they'll either get what they want or force Trump to veto something that Americans are likely to support — perhaps overwhelmingly so.
But that's a lot of “ifs.” We don't even know whether something would pass and get to Trump's desk, and some Democrats are apparently skeptical that McConnell will even make good on his promises.

Dems Fold on This Shutdown, But the Next One Could Be Worse
Chuck Schumer accepted Mitch McConnell’s promise to vote on Dreamers in exchange for reopening the government. If he breaks that promise, all hell will break loose.
Two truths emerged from a deal that the Senate cut on Monday to re-open the federal government after a weekend-long shutdown. The first is that Democrats caved. The second is that they find themselves somewhat better positioned for what is likely to be another, far more bitter, shutdown battle in the coming weeks.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced on Monday that he would accept a deal that would fund the government through Feb. 8 in exchange for a relatively vague promise from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-K.Y.) to bring up legislation that would address the so-called Dreamers—undocumented youth brought to the U.S. illegally.
The deal was, on its surface, devoid of a major win for either party—but especially for Democrats. Republicans kicked the can down the road on government funding, but they also gave no concrete policy concessions in exchange for votes. A majority of Senate Democrats sided with them anyway.
“Are you looking for a spine?” one top Senate Democratic aide told The Daily Beast after the Senate vote concluded. “Because, I don’t have one to sell you.”
But the loss obscured what others saw as a longer term gain for Democrats. As Congress now goes about considering immigration reform, there are new political variables at play.
Republicans no longer have children’s health care as a political cudgel against Democrats, since the bill that passed on Monday includes a six-year authorization for the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). And McConnell is on the spot to follow through on his pledge to resolve the standoff over the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
In caucus meetings, Senate Democrats made the case that they need to show Republicans that they are willing to go to extreme lengths—even forcing another shutdown next month—in order to salvage DACA protections. Liberal activists are expected to mobilize a campaign to pressure Democrats to keep their word.
The Democrats who voted for the stopgap funding extension on Monday argued that McConnell’s promise was so public that it would be a political disaster for the majority leader if he reneged.
“There is no way that we would have been on immigration had we not forced the issue,” Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) told The Daily Beast, characterizing the shutdown as a victory. “This is the first time ever that, under Republican control, we’re taking up this issue. … Had we not stood firm, there’s no way that Leader McConnell would be taking up DACA.”
Schumer got rolled.
