Yeah, I'm big enough to admit I was wrong. lots of crow to eat, yum!

regarding the deal made by Schumer regarding the shut down.

I read a great article by the DailyBeast that broke it all down for me. (alas for the life of me, I can't find it now, but if I do, I will link it)

Yeah, I was pissed at first and let my emotions of "another Democratic cave" get the better of me.

I will still wait and see how this all plays out in the passion play that is currently our government, but for the moment, DACA still lives and CHIP still lives.

I worry now, just what fast one the repukes will pull regarding the debate the agreed to for DACA.

So, in summation, I was a reactionary ass. My apologies to anyone I may have offended.

Cheers!

Democrats’ Bold Fold Shifts the Pressure Onto Trump and His GOP Enablers
Democrats freed 9 million child hostages. Republicans got a Willie Horton ad.

Well, the #TrumpShutdown ended Monday with no DACA deal, and the Democratic base is understandably furious. But this is the beginning of the fight for immigration fairness and the DREAMers, not the end. And Democrats actually got some things out of round one.

The deal struck by Senate moderates—a new “gang of 30” if you will—reopens the government, preventing misery and financial strain for thousands of federal workers. It also secures a “promise,” for what that’s worth, from Mitch McConnell to allow open, bipartisan negotiations on an immigration deal to be voted on by Feb. 8, when the current funding bill expires.

That may not sound like much, and any Democrat who wants to run for president in 2020 was smart to vote against it, but the deal is actually more than it appears to be. Here are three reasons why:

3. Republican's can't break the "Hastert rule". Dennis of course remains one of the finest, most

beloved, revered republicans to ever serve in the House or as Speaker. It would anger millions of republicans to dishonor a man they so much admire.

4. I think you're referring to a Daily Beast article by Joy Reid. It's on here today. She broke it...

well. We got CHIP funded so kids have health insurance and repugs can't dangle that over our heads in DACA negotiations. And as you know now we got a promise, for whatever it's worth, from turtleman for a vote on DACA within 3 weeks.

If he reneges we still have the shutdown again chip in our pocket which we've demonstrated that we are willing to use to show that repugs, who run everything, can't somehow keep the doors of government open.

We're two or three moves ahead of them—playing chess not checkers.
