No GOP Appetite for Second Shutdown

January 30, 2019 at 7:23 am EST By Taegan Goddard 63 Comments

“Senate Republicans are signaling they will do just about anything to prevent a second shutdown after the White House was widely seen as badly losing the political fight over the closure that ended with President Trump’s retreat on Friday,” The Hill reports.

“Republicans are in no mood to be dragged back into another partial closure in mid-February, the deadline to get a deal on spending for roughly a quarter of the government.”

Said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), modifying a well-known quote: “There certainly would be no education in the third kick of the mule.”

despite anything they say right now.

They only feel the need to APPEAR to be against it.

a one-term president.

I wouldn't count on him preventing a 2ND, 3RD or even 4TH or 5TH shut-down.

As long as he keeps packing racist, corporate stooges from the Federalist Society on the judicial benches of this country, the Retrumplicans aren't going to do a fucking thing to him.

God - the 2010 election handing the Senate and gerrymandering over to these pricks was the most destructive election in my lifetime...EVEN WORSE THAN THE ELECTION OF DONNIE SHIT FOR BRAINS!!!!!
