Deal Reached to Reopen Government (For Three Weeks)

[Luke Cage]

No he does not have right to extort Congress for funding a Border Wall. Congress controls the budget.

The Senate voted on giving money for the wall and it FAILED.

The Wall ain't happening.

Senate rejects two measures to end shutdown

Senate rejects two measures to end shutdown

Senate Republicans blocked a stopgap measure to end the partial shutdown on Thursday, the second of two failed efforts to end the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

Senators voted 52-44 on the legislation, falling short of the 60 votes needed to defeat a filibuster.

GOP Sens. Lamar Alexander (Tenn.), Susan Collins (Maine), Cory Gardner(Colo.), Johnny Isakson (Ga.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Mitt Romney(Utah) broke rank and voted to advance the stopgap bill, which would have reopened the quarter of the government currently shuttered and funded it through Feb. 8.

The vote came after the Senate also rejected a White House–backed proposal on Thursday that would have exchanged reopening the government for $5.7 billion for the wall. It would have allowed Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients and some temporary protected status holders to apply for a three-year extension of some legal protections, but included new restrictions on asylum seekers.

In a blow to Trump, that proposal got less support in the Senate than the stopgap measure, failing in a 50-47 vote.

The back-to-back failed votes in the Senate guarantees that the partial government shutdown will stretch into next week. More than 800,000 federal workers have been furloughed or forced to work without pay; they will miss their second paycheck on Friday.

I'm not saying he has the right, or that he is right. I'm saying this shutdown is his fault and his fault only.

Get out of your feelings speaking to me. They will be paid for all of their time spent working. What are you talking about? I’m speaking about federal government employees.

You say "they will be paid". Im saying they were put through in unnecessary hardship in the mean time. You sound like the out of touch "conservatives" right now who cant fathom how this type of government failure could have grave implications for people.

Trump is going to be Nancy’s bytch for the next 2 years, or else he’s going to go full tyrant with executive orders, or he’s going to play soft to make the dems look like the bad guys, which will be a turn off for his base.

What do you mean unnecessary hardship? If you have zero savings or no savings to survive you a month or two you have bigger problems outside of a government shut down.

Like I said this is basically a free paid vacation for federal employees. They may not get paid on time sotospeak but they will be paid in full.

The real travesty lies with the people not getting paid at all during this down time and never will be. These people are the wholly ignored.

Yet here you are unnecessarily attacking me for reasons that are not entirely clear even going with a feeble attempt to label my stance held by conservatives. You attacked out of an emotional place accomplishing nothing.

I admit if i got a month off of work and got paid for it when i came back. I would be vacationing in Ghana right now, instead sitting at home wondering where my next meal was coming from. But not everyone has the luxury of savings

45 days without being paid ain't no vacation.

These dudes don't understand backpay doesn't pay bills due today.

Thankfully it's over, for now, but there are plenty of anecdotes these fools can read to educate themselves on the hardships people with responsibilities had to put up with with no money coming in.

What are you trying to say?

Schumer & Pelosi gets a feel good talking point ("we won"), because they wanted to stop Trump's from getting a talking point....what did the citizen get?
why is not funding a wall justifiable to continue a shutdown, but not trading wall funding for
-increased regulations
-reverse of tax breaks and closing loopholes due to the recent Tax bill
-increase EPA budgeting
-wipe all student debts
-single payer health system
