I wonder if these steel beams could be melted to weaken them. Anyone got some jet fuel?

so the way that republicans are looking at getting out of this jam is by securing "1.6b" of border security funding you might be thinking "haven't i heard that number before" and yes you have: it's the exact amount of border security funding in the current deal. it comes with a rider that none may be spent on a wall so the plan republicans are floating is to just claim the new bill is a victory over the old bill and get trump to sign it before fox and friends can read it https://twitter.com/StevenTDennis/status/1076257309251325957 you might wind up with an extran $100m of non-wall border security funding in exchange for some democratic priority as a fig leaf or something, but that's just me theorizing

Make sure you add a version that's puffed up for the appropriate amount of grift though, because there's no way a contract like this isn't earmarked for one of Trump's buddies to copiously skim from

So we get to do the "there's NO WAY this'll pass!" dance until it passes yet again? "Guys don't worry, they'll never send this to vote. They need over 50. There's no way ok but keep in mind this is just to send it to vote so it passing doesn't matter, they don't have the votes to actually pass it, they just don't ok but just because it passed HERE doesn't mean it'll pass THERE so guys relax: they don't have the votes." *later* "guy's they don't have enough bullets for ALL of us just relax..."

sexpig by night posted:yea the Meadows crowd is gonna gently caress a compromise bill Well if it drags into January and the dems get seated the wall becomes even more of a mathematical impossibility. It's awesome because if this was anything even remotely meaningful the republicans would fall in line but they are forced to break from Trump on this and he will never forgive any of them for it

I hope the Dem's strategy is "You can have literally all the disaster relief money you want but the 1.6 doesn't get altered by one loving dime." I really want Republicans to have to go back to Hurricane Alley and tell the voters they're shutting down the government AND refusing billions to help their states because Wall Money.

InsertPotPun posted:So we get to do the "there's NO WAY this'll pass!" dance until it passes yet again? Literally all of this thread expected it to get to vote and then die because it needs 60. The procedural moment was a blip and even then most of the thread expected the predictable flips to flip. Like, I can get that you're loving dumb and assume THE REPUBLICANS AWAYS WIN in a world where they lost 40 seats and the ACA repeal died the most embarrassing way possible, but like, actively misrepresenting what people said like an hour ago just to do some dumb smug gloat should be bannable. This exact outcome is exactly what everyone's been saying would happen. There's no goalpost moving. This is where it dies and where it has been always clear it would die, jesus christ.
