It was the Air Traffic Controllers who got this problem solved... why is the MSM giving the patently useless Donkeys any credit ???/?

This is just to ease the pressure of no paychecks and to have a chance to spin the next shutdown as dem’s fault.
If he gets a wall in the next 3 weeks or they cave in the next shutdown then he will be vindicated and will hostage take every shutdown opportunity.
If they don’t cave, then march and April will be shutdown months and we’ll have a new record for longest shutdown
Guys, trump just got bitchsmacked hard. There is no way he shuts down the government again in 3 weeks after this. These are incorrect takes. He either declares an emergency, or just lies about whatever “deal” eventually emerges and calls it a day. Most likely it’s the latter.

Trump: "I didn't lose, I just decided to end it because I'm very sensitive to the federal workers being hurt, but also I'm going to **** them again in 3 weeks if I don't get my wall"

The Dems are going to do a deal with money going to "border security" and Trump's going to say that's what he wanted all along and he pulled a quick one on the Democrats

Why wouldn’t she at this point? She won, flawless victory. The only question si whether there is not enough time, from a pure logistics standpoint, to go ahead with the normal date.

P: What? Oh, I thought you said alternate plan for that.
D: I want dual session.
P: Well, we need to vote on that. But after gov going good again. Ask me in a week.

once you take that off the table, there's just zero incentive to concede anything.
He’s also clearly not doing the national emergency. If he was going to do that, he would have done it today.
