Am I Getting This Right - The Senate Will Vote On The House Bill....

from last night with the $5 billion wall addition. There won't be the votes to pass it. The government will be shutdown. Trump and the Repugs will blame the shutdown on the Dems - because they didn't get the Dem support to pass this.

Trump is proud to own the shutdown.

It gives him tons of cover for the other nefarious things he's doing.

Let's hope Robert Mueller continues to show up for work anyway.

The GOP will not get 60 for cloture and probably does not even have 50 to pass it
