(10,023 posts)McConnell pushes the bipartisan bill, it had the votes in the House but Trump threatened to veto.
McConnell now owns any shutdown with Trump.

Said there's nothing in the bill that Democrats haven't "agreed to in the past."
JESUS, what an ass pipe.

(18,837 posts)Patton Oswalt had recurring roles, including a Renaissance Faire guy who often called 911 when someone broke period "authenticity."
So in one episode he pulls out a cell phone, and the sheriffs call him out over it, and he says "This is a scrobbing device."
That's the first thing I thought of when Trump tried to re-brand his wall as a fence that is still the Mexican-financed wall he promised.

(1,990 posts)In fact, I have asked it so many times that it is feeling like the only plausible explanations are in "tin foil" territory. I've got a buddy who has believed since he was elected that him being President is to "distract us from something else". Because what you say is true - everything they didn't get, they could have gotten and can get with Pence as President. Therefore, its logical to conclude that its not the fear of or support of "his base" that is keeping him there. Who knows, but at this point, if they(GOP) don't start jumping ship in droves, I might conclude something weird is going on.

(65,393 posts)has never surfaced, but probably is being used as leverage against them
Also, Mitch, Ryan, and many other Republicans got a lot of rubles laundered through PACs. More leverage.
The Steele dossier suggests that for years Russia has been giving Trump info to hold over others:
