Senate Democrats announced earlier Thursday they had struck an agreement with the White House to move forward with a plan that would see the Department of Homeland Security funding bill separated from a package of five other bills. Programs funded by the five-bill package would be funded until the end of September. DHS would be funded for two additional weeks to allow lawmakers to negotiate on other provisions in the package.
The Senate must get unanimous agreement to move forward with this plan if it wants to hold votes before Friday night’s deadline. As it stood Thursday night, there seemed to be objections by senators on both sides of the aisle gumming up the works.
“Tomorrow’s another day, and hopefully people will be in a spirit to try and get this done tomorrow,” Majority Leader John Thune said as he was leaving the Capitol late Thursday.
Did we just forget about healthcare subsidies??
Geez. I’m fucking tired of these do-nothing Democrats. Gonna charge into another shutdown only to fumble the bag AGAIN and come away with nothing.
Of course, the alternative is literal Nazis, which really tells you how cooked our system of government is now.
It’s so frustrating listening to the liberals. No fucking spines. No courage of conviction. A complete inability to stand up and say “No!”. And if anyone tries to push the party to the left, they are a commie. I have yet to hear anyone tell me why socialism cannot ever work. Instead, it’s a red scare. The ignorance is on full display.
