Yeah but the shutdown avoidance means we don't have your insufferable whiney ass bitch routine on these boards during that time. :coffee:

:kisswink:
Also, the bill that will go to Trump's desk this week overrides his pay freeze and gives feds a well-deserved retroactive raise for 2019. With backpay, a step increase that was retroactive to Jan 20, my tax return, and now this unexpected raise (which is even higher for DC locality), it's a good life. :D

I will continue to bitch when it pays off like this! :thumb:

But wait, THERE'S MORE!
Companion legislation has been introduced in the House that would provide impacted federal workers not only back pay, but interest as well.

Like its counterpart bill in the Senate, The Back Pay Fairness Act (H.R. 1051) would provide federal workers back pay with interest matched to the Treasury Prompt Payment policy, the same interest rate federal agencies pay on late payments to vendors and contractors. The prompt payment interest rate for January 1, 2019 – June 30, 2019 is 3.625%. The legislation would apply not just to the recent shutdown but to future shutdowns as well.

Again WRONG.
Dec deal on the table had 1.6 billion increase for border security, zero for fencing/wall.
Deal now reportedly has over 3 billion increase for border security: 1.7 billion increase for border security other than fencing/wall, + 1.375 billion for fencing/wall.
Again, you aren't looking at the entire issue.

Dec deal had zero money for the wall. Trump pissed his panties and wanted $5B. He shut down the government, causing massive problems for ordinary Americans. He caved. Now he's signing a bill that is for substantially less than $5B.

He negotiated for less.

I agree with Ibanez (and others) that conks should have got border funding done in the first 2 years, but conks never had 60 votes in the Senate so it probably never would have gotten passed anyways.

No doubt Trump caved in round 1, but he got the dems to cave on "no wall money" in round 2. The only thing significant that happened between rounds 1 and 2 was the SOTU. Interesting ain't it?

Also Trump got some wall funding without budging an inch on DACA, which is a loss (or at a minimum a missed opportunity) for donks to appease Team Brown. If conks were smart (they aren't) they would highlight this issue to the Brown vote next election cycle.

I don't think Trump will go the emergency route now that donks caved in round 2 on wall/fence/metal slats/barrier funding. I think he (should) uses wall/barrier/fence/metal slats funding as a sticking point during the CR negotiations.
He'll do as Nancy P sees fit. :nod:

You guys correct me if i'm wrong, but he negotiated for less money. I'm not sure how anyone could reasonable spin it.

Would you rather he held out for the $5B and we were still shutdown?

I'd rather he not shutdown the government in the first place over $5B. Also, I'd rather he not hold hostage over 1M people on a campaign promise that he can't fulfill. Mexico isn't paying for it. We are.

Yeah, I was thinking Trump was gonna get 2.5-3 billion for the barrier, but was gonna have to cave on DACA and TPS.

I don't get how FY 2020 is going to go. The FY starts 10/1. As I understand it, normally it would be either:
1. A FY budget deal(s) are made by 9/30.
2. Or CR/kick the can down the road is passed by 9/30 (most common scenario) (in which case everything would be the same as FY 2019, including another 1.375 billion for the barrier).
3. Or a partial shutdown.

But for FY 2020 we have the return of these automatic sequestration cuts if a deal isn't made. So does that mean either:
1. A budget deal is made/sequestration caps lifted.
2. Or sequestration automatically kicks in & sets the budget with across the board cuts (which I think would be good).
With no chance at a CR or a shutdown?

Anyone know how this process is going to work?

Sequestration had more to do with the Budget Control Act. Congress failed to produce any legislation which would decrease the deficit. That failure triggered the sequestration.

It's a ridiculous idea and sets a terrible precedent. And Trump/Turtle aren't even hiding the fact it became an "emergency" the moment Donks took the House (and as illegal immigration is at a 45-year low).

Let's see how many Conks call this executive overreach.

What are your thoughts on the imminent domain implications?

I know you're against civil asset forfeiture... but, imminent domain seems an even more egregious abuse of federal power.
Since I’ve already said that I’m not a capital L libertarian on immigration (they are open borders) then it stands to reason that I’m also OK with eminent domain as it pertains to our borders. I do believe in just compensation- double the average asking price per acre. And we’d be talking about a 20-30 foot wide strip.

That’s also subject to the specificity of what the Federal government wants to do - in this case, there is no other place a border barrier can be placed other than on .. the border. A military base or a nuclear facility would be something different altogether because there are location alternatives.

I’m fully opposed to eminent domain for any other purposes - like when somebody wants to put in a Wal Mart.

The bill was just released today. How are in the hell are House members suppose to be able to read an 1169 page bill & know what's in it, before voting on it this evening? And what happened to the 72 hr rule (bill will be posted for 72 hrs before being voted on)?
