Sounds like the Dems have caved for vague promises from McConnell and the government will be reopened (for a few weeks) shortly

That sort of garbage long predates this administration.

http://woodtv.com/2018/01/20/kzoo-doctor-d...40-years-in-us/ the guy had a couple of misdemeanors when he was 17, more than 25 years ago, and ICE is now using that as a pretext to deport him. Defunding ICE should be a priority.

Kelly sunk the deal that Schumer and Trump had worked out earlier in the day. https://twitter.com/samstein/status/9545862...src=twsrc%5Etfw

Happy one year anniversary, Trump! Can't imagine a more appropriate way for this to end than with a shut down

A clean DACA bill would pass right now. A clean CHIP bill would pass right now. A CR with CHIP and DACA would pass right now Why won't McConnell and Ryan bring these up for a vote?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 19, 2018 -> 04:45 PM) Faking an orgasm and beating a lie detector test are not even in the same ballpark. I find it odd how often you give Trump the benefit of the doubt. Someone who has consistently proven how much full of s*** he is. Lie detector tests are garbage pseudoscience and that was a decent joke.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 19, 2018 -> 03:12 PM) http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/13/politics/sus...ials/index.html Susan Rice didn't even deny unmasking. "Some reporters" with "anonymous sources" is about all you need to believe anything. I don't care for your Russian conspiracy theory. You've been very dismissive of Greenwald in the past. Now his opinion matters to you? Interesting. There was no scandal behind the Susan Rice stuff like Nunes was claiming, though. That's one reason you should be skeptical.. I could link the journalists later if you'd like. It's no less than the people insisting that the memo actually means anything have. Ultimately the memo either contains legitimate information or it doesn't, and we won't know for sure unless the Republicans release it (which they can if they want) and their claims are verified. Given who wrote it and his history, I'm going to remain doubtful. Conversely, what have you seen from Nunes in the past that would give you a reason to treat him as a credible source? I don't always agree with Greenwald and think he has bad takes sometimes. I posted him because I know you like him. What do you think about his opinion on this?

The Republican DACA bill that Ryan agreed to bring up for a vote later in order to get the Hfc (tea party) votes last night would criminalize DACA recipients who don't make enough money, criminalizes any undocumented immigrants, and cuts legal immigration by 25%. https://t.co/8CzAT7Ej0e

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 19, 2018 -> 11:56 AM) The House Intelligence Committee, the group that had their Twitter suspended yesterday, is said to be possessing the memo that would expose corruption that would lead to the end of careers for lifer politicians. It's a memo written by Devin Nunes, who had already had to partially recuse himself (but didn't really) and has been carrying water for Trump from day 1. He's also the guy who made up the "Susan Rice unmasking!" stuff that turned out to be bs. So there's pretty good reason to be skeptical. Some reporters have talked to sources who have seen the memo, and they did not describe it in flattering terms. That hashtag is also being promoted heavily by Russian Twitter bots, for whatever that's worth. It's worth mentioning that the guys in Congress making a huge deal about this could release the memo themselves of they wanted to. Glen Greenwald, whom I know you've respected in the past, had been harshly critical of them. https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/95438...46%7Ctwterm%5E3

Humanitarian groups left water containers to prevent migrants from dying. ICE is vandalizing them https://t.co/QFxBBBHVQL This is absolutely disgusting.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 18, 2018 -> 08:16 PM) Every day I think more and more how much better off we would all be without so many social media outlets. Twitter has become a cesspool. If we all spent the morning reading our papers I feel like we would be better off. The only news I watch is WGN in the morning and then I try to stay focused on industry stuff The wgn morning show is great. I'm pretty sure they're all half drunk.

What the Freedom Caucus got in exchange for supporting the CR (per HFC source): 1. Assurances the House will vote on a Pentagon funding bill that busts the military $ caps. 2. Assurances the House will work on and vote on a “conservative immigration bill” to send the Senate.

The planet just had its hottest 4 years in recorded history. Trump is dismantling efforts to fight climate change.

They're also holding CHIP funding hostage on this one. Might not even have the votes in the House at this point.

looks like they don't even have 50 votes in the Senate

Trump personally directed White House to have bannon clam up during his House questioning. https://t.co/Vafk52CqP1

GOP might not have the votes to stave off a shutdown. Democrats are opposed because the proposed bill doesn't include a DACA fix and they might not have enough Republican votes to do it on their own.

QUOTE (Whitesoxin2019 @ Jan 18, 2018 -> 11:53 AM) It’s not as if the border was not discussed during the Clinton admin. Also its been explained over and over the funds will not be coming directly as cash from Mexico. It will me in form of the trade deficit. explain why 1) a trade deficit with Mexico is bad 2) how lessening the trade deficit will offset government spending
