Breaking: trump has called republican senators to the white house for 10:30 meeting today...

[spanone]

Perhaps they will tell him to go fuck himself.

One can hope.

1. He's gonna beg them to go nuclear.

Let's hope the GOP managed to find some atrophied remnant of integrity.

5. If McConnell Buys Into Going Nuclear Here.....

there is really some kind of blackmail going on behind the scenes that Trump has over him and the Repugs.

[Adrahil]

11. Yeah... could be. I don't see any political advantage for McConnell.

For judges? Sure. They have lifetime tenure. He's willing to blow up the Senate to pack the courts for a generation.

But for partial funding for a bullshit wall? Not a chance. He knows there is an excellent chance the GOP is back in the minority in 2021. And if he's destroyed all the tools of the minority, he will be hatin' life. But maybe he doesn't care. Maybe he plans on not running again.

2. What Can He & The Repugs Do To Get What The House Gave Them Last Night.....

through the Senate? I thought they need 60 votes and they would need Dem support for that. So is there anything that they can pull to get a positive vote out of the Senate today? I don't believe the Dems will give them any help.

7. If Turtle IS owned by Russia

Wouldn't surprise me if they did go nuclear. How does this play out? Anybody's guess!!

[vlyons]

3. Hope they read him the riot act

It's probably about the shut down.

[underpants]

4. Early day for lazy ass

He's usually wiping the special sauce off his face at that time b

[Corgigal]

6. If they are smart,

they should take notes the minute they leave. Then drop the note near a trusted reporter.

However, that takes forward thinking plus guts...so...

8. Handing out their Xmas Bonuses?

9. I thought many already left town for the holiday break?

10. Open to the press I hope!

It worked so well w/ the Pelosi/Schumer meeting. Why not try it again?
