Tiberius Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Quote Republican senators clashed with one another and confronted Vice President Pence inside a private luncheon on Thursday, as anger hit a boiling point over the longest government shutdown in history. “This is your fault,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) told Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) at one point, according to two Republicans who attended the lunch and witnessed the exchange. “Are you suggesting I’m enjoying this?” McConnell snapped back, according to the people who attended the lunch. Also during the lunch, McConnell made clear to Pence and others in the room that the shutdown was not his idea and was not working. According to Republicans familiar with his comments, he quoted a favorite saying that he often uses to express his displeasure with government shutdowns: “There is no education in the second kick of a mule.” McConnell started using that saying after the 2013 shutdown, which lasted 16 days and ended after the public largely blamed Republicans. That specific exchange was first reported by the Hill newspaper. https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/this-is-your-fault-gop-senators-clash-over-shutdown-inside-private-luncheon/2019/01/24/cde0ca22-2045-11e9-8b59-0a28f2191131_story.html?utm_term=.d0810249b7fb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdnlng Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 It seems like all you nutjobs have forgotten one big thing. The makeup of federal judges has changed and will change even more in the next 2 years. The SCOTUS will most likely move to the right. Historically the left's fallback position has been the liberal courts. Because the left could do little legislatively they relied on their judges to muddy the waters and do their legislating for them. Well, those judges will soon be in a minority and to turn this country to the left you will need to do it the old fashioned way. You guys have won a battle or two but are in the process of losing the war. Good luck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad. WTF are you even talking about? When did I call for the repeal of DACA? You're unhinged. The point, you moron, is that the decision on DACA, which Trump tried to end a year ago, is still churning its way through the courts. The transgender and Muslims bans took about two years until the injunctions were lifted. If Trump declared a national emergency, it's going to have an injunction so fast your spin will spin. (sadly, not enough to get it out of your ass) And it will, almost without doubt, be blocked, as A) the situation is absolutely not an emergency and B) it's a gross abuse of executive power. In short, the "national emergency" is the fig leaf to the base to try to cover up how much he failed. When it gets blocked, Trump gets to complain about "activist judges", and use the wall again in his rallying cry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
