    Hmm. What is the vote count for the clean funding bill? Will pubs vote it down?

    Bumping this dormant thread. I have a job opening for a natural gas scheduler in Austin. Will take a recent graduate and train as long as candidate is very comfortable with excel. Focus will be on utility and intrastate pipelines in Midwest area. Work is mainly M-F, 7-4 with some weekends required (1-2 hours) during the winter (November-April). Full time, salaried, permanent position. This position is not for a physical gas controller. PM for additional details.

    Agreed this shit show rests squarely on Paul Ryan. He could have collected bipartisan votes to pass the Senate funding extension. But the coward punted once Trump switched his mind. Pelosi should collect the votes to pass the exact same funding bill the Senate passed. Get McConnell to pass it again. If Trump actually vetoes, then collect the votes to override. I am assuming there are enough votes to override, maybe that doesn’t exist. But at some point I assume enough GOP Congresspersons would support such a measure. The above is all likely just fantasyland. I actually don’t see any real GOP leadership that leads to reopening the government.

    I support this rumor campaign.

    At this point, should the Dems be positioning themselves to try and make the shutdown lady until new House is sworn in? Then have Pelosi lead House pass legislation to reopen the government. Then leave it to Senate led GOP to own the continued shutdown.

    Today was not a good day.

    Average at best can be good enough in these times.

    I can feel the sinus pain starting. Also the continual snorting in attempts to just breathe.

    ^^^ True. Pelosi appears over the moon that Trump said he will be responsible for the shutdown. That’s nice for a political win that will last the lifespan of nano second. His base doesn’t care. Maybe independents care, but the next election is lifetimes away. How does the country move forward from a legislation/budget perspective?

    I don’t see any winners from the video clips being posted of that meeting. It was just talking points vs talking points. Both sides will find their positives and continue to talk past each other. I assume eventually additional continuing resolutions will be passed to punt this to the next legislature. Though that might be after a partial shutdown over Xmas

    Fuck cedar and my cedar allergies.

    I welcome some rain. It’s bit too dusty when mulching leaves with lawnmower at the moment.

    Houston gets off easy. Everybody else is truly fucked. I can’t see my kids/grandkids living in TX if that climate comes true.

    I got into GE way to early. Thinking about doubling down just to get my average purchase price lower. Appears I am going to own some AAPL at 190. I had previously sold puts at that level thinking it would hold above that line. In my day job I am long lots of natural gas calls for this winter. So yeah doing great at work in commodities, but equity personal account is sucking shit through a straw.

    Zero chance Trump resigns. Trump will be the 2020 GOP nominee. Trump isn’t going to let little issues like a journalist being murdered slow down his messaging. Dems need to remain focused on big issues. Healthcare. Jobs (for those not benefiting from current economy). Jobs if the broader economy goes into recession prior to 2020. Dems in the House can investigate/impeach Trump, but not to the exclusion of the above messaging. Because Brisket is on point. Senate is not going to convict Trump. Wishing for that is a waste of time. Score the political points needed via the House investigating him but recognize there there is no coup de grace.

    Uh no.

    I won’t believe Sanders or Kelly is living until the WH officially announces it. Particularly Sanders. Media speculation on her in the past has been proven incorrect.

    I think Trump runs again in 2020 and wins the GOP primary with ease. No idea who the Dem candidate will be. Based on a generic Dem candidate, this is the baseline I would start with. Not a lot of margin for the Dems to fuck around, which is depressing.

    Trying to convince the trumpkins of anything is a waste of time/resources. Besides, I would prefer they remain oblivious to any shifting sands beneath the political landscape.

    Caravan

    swraith replied to gsoda3's topic in Cloak Room

    Trump will stop talking about caravans now that the election is over? Can we cancel the military deployment to the border ?
  23. swraith
    Zero.

    Trump is not going to prison, at least prior to 2020.
  25. swraith
    He is running. No reason to think he won’t win the nomination again.
