US Government Shutdown- It's Over!... For Now

[Hurtful Thoughts]

Seems the House failed to even pass a budget-bill this time around to avoid shutdown round #2.

Oh hey, is of happening. Congress has been deemed irrelevant in order to avoid further shutdowns.

Who else won that bet?

Welp, off to go buy a T-80U and party like it's 1993.
lul, CCN mistook a BMP-1P for a howitzer.

The Cold War got kinda wierd between 1989 and 1998.

What is any of this? The house hasn't voted yet, the senate literally just passed the bill. The house votes at the earliest in half an hour. The rest just...don't know. No idea what you're on about.

Actually, the House decided not to vote on it because they only had 30 minutes to read it before their deadline (Nancy "you gotta approve the bill before you can know what is in it" Pelosi) , they made a motion for a second temporary-budget and things kinda slid downhill from there.

Also, this:

Party leaders also couldn't agree on whether to include back pay for thousands of federal contractors who went unpaid during the 35-day shutdown.

Coast Guard getting double-shafted.

So here's to another week stuck in limbo with a dead horse-head in the bed.

Are we glossing over the fact she was talking about a bill that the contents of which were being deliberately withheld? And that she was exasperated about the situation?

[Alvecia]

Well ... it seems Trump is about to both sign the funding bill AND declare a national emergency..

According to NBC, AP and ABC at least.

His approval ratings will take a hit. But I thank him, nice distraction from Virginia.

His approval rating are as about low as they're ever going to be. I think we've quite successfully answer the question "Exactly how many people would still support Trump even if he did shoot someone on 5th Avenue?"

That would be a lot more devastating if I didn't know the actual context of that.

I love that you source your sideswipe and nothing else.

P. Much various things in the bill have been omitted to prevent haggling and Freedom Caucus approved another 1 week temproary funding bill using last-year's budget because nobody would've been able to speed-read 1100 pages of psuedo-policy in a budget/appropriations-bill in the last 30 minutes of Wednesday-evening.

Oh, and congress is getting a pay-raise for this year. Like #DoubleMySalary pay-raise.

If the National Emergency declatation goes unchallenged, the writing is officially on the wall, the Republic is dead. The ship of state sank and it's time to get out.

I think you’re overreacting quite a bit here, while stupid as fuck, a national emergency isn’t going to crown Trump the Autocratic Supreme God Emperor of America and Beyond. The only thing he’ll be able to do in this case is siphon money from wherever he’ll siphon money from to pay for ego wall.

It worked for Boris Yelstin. Just say'n... I'm pretty sure there aren't enough machine-guns in Congress to resist a coup from El Presidente.

But, back to the rational world of thought, yeah, it'll probably stick to just getting an automobile-proof barrier up so border-patrol can worry more about regular ports of entry than runners. (Running with a plane poses several problems, mostly in landing the darn thing and getting it and the product being smuggled out of the LZ before authorites arrive)

Meanwhile... in Italy:

Here's what to expect next in the House

The House will now debate the funding bill for an hour before moving on to the final vote.

After the debate is over, the House will vote on the final measure.

One thing to note: This may happen sooner if ether party decides to give back time.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi scheduled a news conference at 9:30 p.m. ET following the final vote.

Well that's an interesting turn of events since this morming.
Also from CNN, same day.

You do realizing they're voting on something they couldn't have possibly actually read, right?

True. The only variable is how many non-Trumpists could be persuaded to back the democratic candidate.

No, like, seriously, what are you talking about. The House passed the bill 300-128.

[Cannot think of a name]

he House of Representatives just approved a spending deal to avert a government shutdown.

The final vote was 300 to 128. The Senate vote, which took place earlier in the day, was 83 to 16.

The legislation will now go to the White House for President Trump's signature.

Once the bill is signed into law, the entire federal government will be funded through the end of September.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to hold an enrollment ceremony after the vote.

Now, as long as no one calls Trump a pussy between now and the signing...

Signs, first steps, etc. etc.

It's not exactly crowning him the autocratic Lord Protector of the People's Democratic Republic of the United States of America, but getting away with stuff like this is usually on the roadmap.

He apparently was under the impression that nothing had changed since the last time he checked despite all of us talking about developing news.

Well, since the budget thingus is probably no longer an issue, does this thread get closed or do we repurpose it to the wall-fund-me thread?

His tweet about reviewing it is filled with calls for him not to sign it, apparently it grants amnesty to MS-13..

My search engine hates me.

Literally none of your cited links ever showed up on my searches.

It's not really news that just to screw with people some engines will "customize" a person's search-resaults to bias their worldview to one extreme or the other.

So if you click on clickbat, they'll put the producers of said clickbait on the top of the pile and bury everything else.

For me it's to the point I can literally put the headline in the search engine and either not find the article in question until page 3, or I'm completely firewall'd off from it.

If he refuses to sign it last second AND declares the national emergency anyway, that'd be such a big clusterfuck.

Dude, if fucking CNN doesn't even show up on your search engine, you're either using the most fringe search engine on Earth or have been searching such totally off-the-wall shit that Google can't even figure out when you are searching for normal things.

Probably the later since it's Google on google, googling google.

CNN does show up... sorta... but only stuff that's over 48 hours old. Occassionally it puts stuff from 2017 as "most recent events".

BTW, wire coat hangars are now machine-guns, according to the BATF.
As are shovels and a pair of wooden 2x6s.

Don't get me started on what you can do with aluminum tubes.

Still haven't found any videos of people skydiving into the eye of a hurricane at night.
Oh, wait, nevermind. Happened in Florida, because ofc it had to.

They can go lower, the ones who still support him haven't felt it yet.

This might change your world...check this out. That little bar above the webpage in your browser...probably starts with https:// and then a bunch of stuff? You can just type in 'cnn.com' or 'foxnews.com' or nytimes.com...and then you'll just go straight to the page. So like when a national news story like this happens, pretty much all of them will be covering. I know! It's crazy, right? Change your fucking world.

You appear to be lost. The headline over the top? That's what the thread is about. You appear to be looking for the gun thread. You'll know it by it being called 'the gun thread' or something like that. Happy hunting.

It's a pretty huge reach as far as his executive power goes. If he gets away with it, he will have greatly increased the influence of his own position (a la Chancellor Palpatine, if you get Star Wars references), severely weakening the characteristics that allow us to define the USA as a republic.
