Thread: Negotiators reach deal ‘in principle’ to avert shutdown

UPDATE

Democratic and Republican negotiators have reached "an agreement in principle" on a spending bill that would avert a government shutdown.

"We reached an agreement in principle between us on all the homeland security and the other six bills," said Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.).

Alright - not a lot to work with in terms of details, but the news has been flying across the net & cable. So, I thought I'd post something to share the good news!

And for reference: It's 9:03 EST, and the news broke around 25 minutes ago, as can be seen by the 8:40 EST timestamp on the Political update.

Predictions, anyone?

So, now that a bipartisan agreement has been reached in Congress, the next step is to send it to the Oval Office.
If we get subjected to another "Coulter Veto" once again, this once again becomes Trump's tar baby.

Congress has agreed to not allow the government to be shut down, the ball is now in Donald Trump's corner.

My gut says it will get done. Neither party has the stomach for another shutdown, particularly the Repubs. I suspect McConnel will do anything to punt, and wash his hands.

The agreement "in principle" was reached to end the last partial shutdown by passing a three week CR. My prediction is that another "brief" CR will be passed so that and agreement "in detail" can be passed by the House and Senate.

Trump cannot veto it. It will be his political demise.

As I've been saying from the day he reopened the government three weeks ago, if he gets a bill he will sign it and either:

1] Claim victory

or,

2] Declare an emergency

Recently he's apparently been looking at pilfering funds from other departments, so he may try and sneak that in there - too.

Interesting supposition, and it's possible. But I really think Congress - both parties - want to put this to bed and be done with Trump.

I'm sure Donnie Moscow will be tweeting in no time.
