UPDATE: Trump is hesitating on signing the CR

[crazytown]

The RW sphere has gone berserk saying Pelosi has stuffed the CR with Booby Traps.

One provision above all has got them barking. Local councils can ‘veto’ fencing in their areas.

Smoke or Fire? He hasn’t signed.

(Veto apparently means negotiate on deployment for up to six months, with an appeals process? following if there’s no resolution)

[jberryhill]

1. Wtf is wrong with local decision making?

Isn’t that one thing that conservatives can be counted on to reliably support?

[safeinOhio]

2. Now the party of

Unlimited Federal Power. Along with the Party of Unlimited Federal Deficits.

[Cha]

3. Yeah, where's the friggin'

tea party?!

[trusty elf]

5. tea baggin' for Jaysus

[Cha]

9. Oh god, trusty elf.. lol!

The problem is.. it's not an exaggeration of those brainwashed baggers.

Good job!

[crazytown]

6. They went home when the Koch checks finished.

Maybe it was never anything more than racism

[Cha]

11. foxscrews brainwashed 'em and koch

funded them. Ginny Thomas.. Clarence's spouse was a big gaslit bagger.

[JHB]

14. No, the one thing that conservatives can be counted on to reliably support...

...is tax cuts for the wealthy.

They're fine with "big government" when it is actively supporting their interests.

[DFW]

4. Great. Government by blog post.

This is what comes when the president doesn't trust his Fox Noise any more.

What HAVE we come to?

[crazytown]

7. I heard Venezuela wrote some of it

[democratisphere]

8. drumpf is a drama queen. Will do anything to draw attention to himself.

How did this jerk ever get elected?

[TheBlackAdder]

10. WAIT! I thought Trump reads everything and Pelosi doesn't. How'd she know traps exist if not read?

[RockRaven]

12. He already made plans to go to Perv-a-Lago on Friday... he has to sign, or cancel his trip.

At least if he holds to the "rule," which he operated by last time, of not going there while a shutdown is underway. Even FOXNews would crush him for the optics of golfing at a tropical country club while federal employees are working without pay or furloughed.

In the first shutdown, GOP messaging was all framed as "The Dems need to make a deal with Trump." Notice how this time around the GOPers in Congress were the ones publicly identified as doing the negotiating with the Dems. Why? Because the WH realized they weren't going to "win" and wanted to distance Trump from the final deal. All of a sudden the WH is acting like this is purely Congress's bill, and it's hardly got anything to do with Trump -- it's not his fault the bill sucks so bad, that failure is someone else's.

Trump will gripe and pout, but ultimately he'll sign the bill, I think.

13. Source?

[crazytown]

16. No.

I’m not going to link to the crap. Start with B-Bart.

[UCmeNdc]

15. Idiot in the White House. Here we go again!

100% Dumbo Trumpo!

[Ferrets are Cool]

17. It doesn't matter if he doesn't sign it. It's veto proof. nt

[crazytown]

18. No. House voted 300-128

More than half GOP voted against.
It’s not a done deal.

[qazplm135]

20. That's more than two thirds

Is it not?

[crazytown]

21. Yes.

Republican support was collapsing (compared to the Senate) The lunatics are out there saying the CR ‘will kill America’. Another what? 10 and a veto stands.

[honest.abe]

22. They are also those saying a shutdown will kill America.

Pick your poison. I suspect the Rethugs dont want another shutdown wrapped around their necks. That would be worse than voting for the CR.

[crazytown]

23. I've skimmed Twitter.

The looneys think there is some ‘Amnesty’ built into the CR. Posting links to B-Bart. I can’t stomach that shit, but the frenzy seems real.

[duforsure]

19. More PR promotion to use

Against Nancy and the Democrats to use to demonize them with like he's done to others, and all based on more lies and distortions. HE's intentionally making it all about himself, and how he doing things for his base, when the truth is he's not, and is just lying again to them, and trying to distract more away from Russia and Putin issues . He knows he's illegitimate, and scared they know it too.

[onenote]

24. Well, this was much ado about nothing.

Once he decided to issue the emergency declaration, it was a given that he'd sign the legislation. Hell, he even describes it as a big legislative win. The Coulter crowd has overplayed their hand which is why he's dissing them.
