The 60 votes is to end cloture (or the filabuster).

You are the one that needs civic lessons. In the senate when they vote, a bill need only pass by the majority of those present.

Again the 60 vote requirment is to end the filibuster.

The score on Twitter is in the past hour

Trumpshutdown 3710
Democrat shutdown 490

Yeah citizens are blaming the dems. Qalll

44

Only because they can’t see who isn’t allowing the senate to vote. Sure as hell isn’t Trump now is it.

45

So if a poll on Twitter showed:

3710 Sun is blue
490 Sun is yellow

Would the sun be blue?

The Senate already voted for a clean CR. Trump blew it. You’ll lose sleep trying to rationalize it.

48

Why?

Dem’s will NOT allow the bill to come out for a vote. It’s on them regardless of what you think. They have the power to send the bill to the floor, let the R’s vote for it, let every D vote against it and let The Don sign it.

But they won’t.

The Dem’s have the bill stopped. This is their shutdown.

49

And the house changed it as is their right to do.

Now the Dem’s refule to allow a senate vote on it. THEY are the one that has stopped it cold. THEY are the one’s that shut the government down.

50

Exactly. He shut down the government because he demanded legislation that couldnt get passed

Doesn’t make it his. Dem’s in the senate are filibustering and won’t allow a vote on the bill.

Oh holy video
The screen is shining bright

So the president said add money. What would he have done to them had they not added anything passed it and sent it his way?

President can’t fire anyone in the house. he can’t take away their pay. He can’t do crap to them.

59

So?

It’s still Senate Dem’s that won’t allow a vote on the bill.

60

Yep, he would have it he had vetoed a bill.

Guess what, Senate Dems refuse to allow a vote on the bill (they know it will pass, and they know The Don would sign it).

61

Oh the bill trump told the house to pass, knowing it wouldn’t pass the senate, after the Senate UNANIMOUSLY which means bipartisan, passed a clean CR…

AFTER trump said if he didnt get what he wanted HE would shut down the government hahaha
