Government Shutdown Averted: Trump signs spending bill and declares national emergency

[ExodusNirvana]

And in three weeks it will be the same

Yo that clip will never NOT be funny to me

The irony that the gender he thought was only good for p*ssy grabs made him bend the knee is not lost on me.

I think this was 100% about the Stone raid/arrest and he re-opened to deflect attention away from it.

Isn't he out on bond anyway?

federal contractors NO BACK PAY tho??!?!

federal contractors NO BACK PAY tho??!?!

Thats so fuked up

 

[tru_m.a.c]

I think the airport situation was the final straw. Money was about to be lost. A lot of "important" people probably got on the phone and ended this shyt with a quickness.

Can't fly then firms from the big 4 can't send their people to client site or bring them home

If you think the hit to LGA was bad, if that shyt hit JFK

federal contractors NO BACK PAY tho??!?!

Chris Van Hollen introduced a measure to do a backpay for contractors

Van Hollen, Democratic Senators Press Trump Administration to Ensure Federal Contractor Employees Receive Pay | U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland

But it needs GOP support to get to 60... smh

did they actually work? "federal contractor" is a vague term, what does that mean?

id be fukkin heated if i didnt get paid for work i did i hope a fair amount of them were trump voters

 

[tru_m.a.c]

back pay is at the discretion of the firms

edit: some firms assigned internal work so that people could stay receive their paychecks

GOP would be insane to vote against this. Especially after being giddy about passing those tax cuts last year.

Here's the problem with that though, now that the shutdown is over THERE'S NOTHING ELSE TO COVER BUT THE ROGER STONE ARREST

MSNBC only cut to government shutdown coverage today because of the rose garden speech. Roger Stone will be on cable and xm alllllllll weekend.

There's no football to distract us. Basketball isn't in an important stretch. No NCAA worth paying attention to. The Australian Open games are at night (right?). No baseball. Hockey doesn't demand a mainstream audience.

The government shutdown was his smokescreen for this story.

 

[invincible1914]

Roger Stone indicted during the shutdown.

So if, like some surmised, Trump's gambit was to slow down the Russian Investigation with this shutdown, he may have to rethink that strategy.

If the government reopens in the next 7 days it was all a front.

If that shyt hit Atlanta’s Hartsfield before the Super Bowl? Robert Craft might have sent them hitters to 1600 Pennslyvania Avenue
