GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN: Senate agrees to 3wk CR; CHIP funded for 6yrs; Feb8 showdown over DACA

[Dr. Acula]

Alright, this isn't as bad as I initially thought. CHIP's good for six years and they can hold McConnell's feet to the fire if he doesn't hold a vote on DACA by the 8th.

Looks like Dems got the better end of the deal. The shutdown is still on the table unless something in secret was discussed we don't know about. But you still get the six years of funding for CHIP.

Here is my thinking on the Republican thinking for agreeing to this. They probably feel more comfortable removing the burden of CHIP which they probably view as more politically volatile and prefer to hold Democrats accountable more on the DACA to frame it more as Democrats shutting down the government over illegal immigrants. Not that they didn't already do that but I guess now they remove the possible counter argument of them holding CHIP hostage in return fire.

and thats okay too.
the only ones who are gonna be swayed by this "zomg! theyre shutting down the government for the illegals!"
is their same shytty base as always

dems do need to get out in front of this though and talk about dreamers dreamers dreamers
they need to be on tv every day with a particularly spectacular dreamer by their side

SOU every damn near every dem needs a dreamer by their side

let the vote come and if repubs insist on throwing out dreamers
it wont be because the dems didnt fight for them

eta
replay every single day Cheeto saying he would support a bipartisan agreement
replay every day his bullshyt speeches and statements that he loves the dreamers
that he wants a bill with love etc

 

[Jesus H. Christ]

Dems folding as usual


Idgaf if there's another deadline

Put on a good fight and let the chips fall

Someone made a good point. Time to stop worrying about the Washington media narrative of what he will or won't sign and parsing out if its worth fighting over or do something based on what the president says he will do.

Let congress do its job and pass it regardless of whatever opinion the white house holds on any particular day. Then when it comes time to sign, let him have the final say and hold the negative or positive consequences of that decision.

Yup. Send it to his desk and see if he has the balls to veto it.

This is some childhood, kindergarten shyt brehs. From where I stand, CHIP is out of the way and for 17 days, government is open then Dems get to put GOP feet to the fire on DACA.
