That's very well known at this point, thank you. But did you also notice that Dems held firm and relatively united on this? And may get exactly what they want. That's the real story here. Carve out CBP and ICE. Fund everything else. Then, funding for the agencies that blatantly kill Americans on the street like they're the fucking Gestapo is ALL on Pukes. ALL on the Pukes. None of that "well, Dems voted to fund ICE too!" bullshit. How often has that happened with total and partial government shutdowns since that became a thing in the mid 90's? How often do Dems blink first? Not this time.

And don't be so sure Pukes lost the narrative. TSA folks are quitting in droves and travelers are pissed and blaming Congress in general. But this time, finally, Dems aren't going to budge one damn inch and Cruz and the rest of the Senate Republicans know that.
