60 votes Harry. 60 votes.

Well, then, if you have control of the Senate (a simple majority is
all it takes) and you need 60 votes for passage of certain bills and
such, I guess you have to reach compromises with the other side,
especially when your party controls the other house of congress and
the white house. I wonder if anyone bothered to explain that to
******** Donald.


Well, I am not going to argue with you.Â* I am running out of nickels.

Meanwhile, as the government sits in this so called "shutdown" the
Majority and Minority Leaders of the Senate are engaged in a debate on
the floor of the Senate over whether it should be called the "Trump
Shutdown" or the "Schumer Shutdown".

President Trump:Â* Drain the swamp ... PLEASE !



And what, fill it with more of his incompetents and racists? No thanks.

Ok. Found one.

Harry, I just watched Chuck Schumer lay out all the blame on Trump
again, describing him as "impossible" to negotiate with despite having
had several meetings with him. He indicated that after thinking some
progress was made, an hour or so later Trump would reject everything put
on the table in their discussions.

After his scripted remarks some of the journalists asked some questions.

One of them asked if he and Trump had actually come to an agreement at
these meetings/negotiations. Schumer quickly answered, "No".

So here's my question:

How can Trump be accused of reneging on a deal when there was no deal
made to begin with?

Over on another news group that has gone astray in this trump mania
they are saying Schumer had 70 votes for a bill that gave Trump his
wall, saved DACA and all sorts of wonderful things. If that is true,
why didn't they call the vote? Was it because it would have never made
it out or reconciliation or was it just because Chucky's feelings were
hurt in a meeting?
If they had a bill, I say pass it and dare Trump to veto. THEN it
would be Trump's shutdown. We are not talking about what he says, we
know that is usually bull****. See what he does when it is on his
desk.
My bet, he signs it and tells us "It was the greatest bill ever" and
what a great negotiator he is. Let him sell it to his faithful, They
will bite if he spins it right and Fox agrees.
If you folks think he is really that deranged and stupid, he should be
easy to "play".
