Get out the eye bleach, and apologies in advance, but Pelosi just fucked Trump.

I would normally be happy about this sorta thing happening, but that's a visual I didn't exactly need.

It's a quickie though. Only a three month deal. Patchwork governance. Yay team.
That's been routine for years. What is encouraging here is Trump now has Republicans on notice. Govern, or I'll do it with Rinos and Democrats.
It wouldn't shock me at all if Trump made history by running on the Democrat ticket in 2020.

A brilliant shot across the bow for the GOP. Bravo Trump, well played.

Definately.
even if I don't like this deal and I haven't even looked at it I doubt that I do but I like the idea of people from both sides the aisle finding something ...anything ...they can agree on.
I am not a fan of Tip O'Neill but he found ways to work with Reagan they were in complete opposite ends of the political spectrum.
I can't see myself ever voting Democrat but fuck the Republicans. They had seven years of whining about Obamacare and now they have the ability to replace it with whatever they want and they can't even peel part of it away or fix any of it.

We're talking about Trump cut a deal with Democrats today. Since you only watch Fox, naturally you wouldn't have heard about it. I hear Hannity is gonna have some super exclusive dirt on Hillary's emails tonight!

The whole notion of the Congress and Senate having to vote to raise the debt ceiling is ridiculous.
Nobody takes it seriously, as if the US could shut the government down during the aftermath of the hurricane in Houston and as Irma bears down on Florida.
The whole debate and notion is goofy.

Postponed 3 months, till Pearl Harbor Day.
Just after Black Friday and the pre-Xmas sales binge.
During the Xmas season when only stockbrokers watch the news.
IOW it's an ad-hoc distraction, to be overwhelmed by new shit.
There's always fresh shit to grab our eyeballs.
What could go wrong by December?

I am curious. Schumer and Pelosi are MINORITY leaders in Congress. That means they don't control a majority of votes. That means they had to peel-off move than a few GOP votes to attain a majority to pass a bill for POTUS to sign. So, who are the GOP traitors?

Leadership (Like the Eric Cantor
) and Moderates in Blue states - 23 Republicans hold congressional districts that voted for Clinton. The Freedom Caucus and right of center Red Staters won't

I'm trying to get the details of that deal. But off the top of my head, did i hear talk of setting debt limits?
If so, how do you put a cap on debts, then work on a new tax plan that reduces them?

Ok, I've read more. It's increasing thecdebt ceiling. Altho, its hard to get the real gist of this stuff.
This was tied to a bill funding the hurricane's relief?
And republicans wanted to hold firm on 'no'.
So basically, does that mean, a hurricane relief fund would not pass otherwise? Or since the GOP maj has to pass it to issue funds for the hurricanes, so they got the deal shoved down their throats?

Yes, it would be much easier to peel off Republicans now than Democrats, I think, and Trump isn't any more Republican than he is Democratic. It would be a smart move if the Democrats in Congress could peel him away from his despicable base by offering him a more moderate/stable/sane/larger one and for him to proceed more moderately with a Democrat-moderate Republican coalition. It would be a luscious bitch slap at both the ultra conservative Republicans, teapartiers, and alt-right (assuming there's much of a difference in those).
