Senate to try another funding vote to reopen the government

Oct. 3 (UPI) -- The Senate will vote Friday afternoon on temporary funding measures to end the federal government shutdown on its third day or see it extended into Monday.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said the government could reopen as soon as a funding bill is passed.

"This shutdown needs to end sooner rather than later, and there's only one way out of it," Thune said on the Senate floor on Friday, as reported by ABC News.

Democrats need to vote for the clean, non-partisan continuing resolution sitting right there," Thune said. "All it takes is one roll call vote, [and] the government's back open."

All Thune needs to do is pull his head out of his ass and restore the cuts to the ACA and Medicaid, something that is supported by the majority of Americans.

Airline travel stops of gets VERY dangerous. Business people are stranded as there are only so many expensive charter flights. Market slides fast. Wall Street phones Thune and tells him to restore the cuts or they cut of GOP donations and hire lawyers to go after Trump and his mob bigly.

AH... a girl can dream
