Would have been great if a reporter asked him why he allowing his admin officials to get $10,000 raise while he is freezing federal worker raises. I'm curious how he would spin it.
They are making America great again, isn't that worth a little extra money?

Lol...Individual 1 just stepped out in front of the cameras to say he had had a productive meeting with Schumer and Pelosi and both sides were going to pick people to get together over the weekend to have further discussions. Schumer and Pelosi responded that nothing had changed and they didn't know anything about further meetings. WTF!

Individual 1 is simply bullshitting again. Want to hear something different? Just wait two hours, and he will tweet something that directly contradicts this. And for the GOP, both statements will be simultaneously true.

This shutdown is hurting more people than the lack of a wall. He has allways been "wealthy" and does not understand what it is like to have no income.

Federal employees can't respond to oversight requests while the government is closed. He's using the wall impasse as a strategy to defend himself from the House Congressional Committees. At the very least, Trump is planning on keeping this shut-down going, because he wants there to be a different topic of conversation, rather than us hearing about his tax returns, his fake wealth, and his complicity with Russian interference.

Gonna hear about this increasingly...

Hundreds of TSA screeners, working without pay, calling out sick at major airports

At New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, as many as 170 TSA employees have called out each day this week, Thomas tells CNN. Officers from a morning shift were required to work extra hours to cover the gaps.

Call outs have increased by 200%-300% at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, where typically 25 to 30 TSA employees call out from an average shift according to a local TSA official familiar with the situation.

Union officials stress that the absences are not part of an organized action, but believe the number of people calling out will likely increase.

I wonder if some bill wasn’t passed that mandated spending cuts to retirees and the military and social programs if this would become a 3rd rail nobody would dare to touch?

Congress could fund the govt tomorrow with a veto proof majority if the GOP would go for it. It's not like they actually want the wall, anyway. They're just trying to humor the mad King & the mob in the street.

Yep, and a CR would leave the rest of the Republican spending agenda intact for the duration of the CR. The longer this drags on, the more the Dems get to influence this year's spending.

Mitch said that he'd allow no bill to come to the floor that Trump won't sign, which means the Senate is stripped of its right to override

That's voluntary on McConnell's part.

The Turtle is in his shell, read earlier he skipped on a meeting with Trump & other Congress critters today. When the President was asked where Mitch was he said Mitch was running the Senate doing important work. The Senate was not in session and will not be in session until Tuesday.
When a reporter asked Mitch about it & the shutdown he said:
It’s up to the President, Chuck & Nancy to come to an agreement. Mitch still appears to be pissed about the funding resolution mostly everyone supported then the President shit on it after watching Fox News.

I think Trump double-crossed McConnell on that. Which means Donnie is on his own, at least for awhile. Trump said he'd own it & McConnell is letting him. Have at it, Mr President.
