Democrats Give Up on Shutdown; Vote for Cloture on CR Passes, Setting Up Vote to Re-Open Government
The CR will keep the government open just for two and a half weeks, until February 8th.
McConnell offered them his personal commitment that they'd vote on a DACA bill in the meantime, but they say that Republicans already made that offer. And also note there's no guarantee that bill will pass, or what the bill will actually say. Oh, in the meantime, Schumer has been claiming he offered a grand compromise to the president and the GOP, offering to support authorization for the wall. That's a con. The wall was authorized in 2006; what is lacking is appropriations for money to actually build it. So Schumer has been claiming he's "compromising" by offering to authorized that which was authorized going on 12 years now. While continuing to not offer what is actually needed, money.Comments

1. The democrats figured out they were on the losing side optically and are now bragging about getting a vote on the unpopular side of the argument they were just losing
or
2. McConnell just got an excuse for the DACA sellout to pass without any other consideration when this spending bill runs out in three weeks.

But if you say "Surrender, and we'll give you warm chow, and treat you humanely" you undermine their motivation to resist.
Give the enemy a face-saving way out that at the same time advances your interests. Smart politics.

Trump stated when he rescinded the DACA EO that he wanted a legislative fix for it, and expected one.
If you are not yet tired of winning, expect one.
If you think that anything short of deporting every DACA recipient is amnesty, well, it is going to be amnesty. But, if you allow for a legal status that is NOT citizenship and does not allow for it other than the ordinary, legal channels (i.e, go back home and apply from there), and in return get modifications to visa lottery and chain migration (I won't say elimination is impossible, but half a loaf, right?) as well as actual funding for the wall?
That is what I think we will get, and you need to gird your loins for that win.

But they only wanted to surrender to us when they knew the Soviets were right around the corner.
But this analogy has nothing to do with the GOP helping the left out of a bind they think they got themselves into. They weren't staring at torture and death. The GOP had no reason to help them out, in any way. If things were so bad for the left and the GOP was really offering nothing then they should have done nothing and just waited.
No, there was more going on (and more planned to go on) in this deal than many are willing to acknowledge or admit.

know him to be but more importantly it was a warning shot: stop screwing
around on immigration and just do it or else we will destroy you (and we can.)
Obama started issuing executive orders shortly after his re-election and Ramos never breathed another word about running guns to Mexico. This was not a coincidence. The illegal lobby are going to start shooting anybody that retreats. This should be interesting.

Exactly. My neighbor has a fence I can quickly and easily traverse. However, if caught on his property the judge is going to ask me how I got there. What can I say?
Which is why I'm more of a fence guy then a wall guy. Both the fence and the wall make a statement. One is a helluva lot cheaper.

strand of barbwire is enough to indicate the point after which you will
be fired upon.
I think it can be both, while being realistic about certain areas where the terrain naturally makes it less secure that others.
At minimum, it makes it harder to use a car or truck to cross the border, and anything that requires time to climb over provides more time for Border Patrol to get there. I've seen the "virtual border" in Arizona, and as cool as it is that they have electronic devices that monitor and sound an alarm when a person is detected within the range of their sonar beamed across the border line (or whatever it is), it still requires an in-person follow-up. A walls buys them some time.

If you go all Henry Beard fourth-year Latin on it, "Dracula" is the diminutive of draco, so, "Little Dragon." But that's not where his name came from.
Some say Draco was a harsh law-giver. Others say he thought the city-state had too damn many laws, but he couldn't convinde the populace of that, an so he had each and every law enforced so they'd get the feel of it.
I'd like to see these government closures be a little more draconian. We sit like little peeping chicks in the neck waiting for mama-bird uniparty to chew up a worm and vomit it down our throats. Closing the government should not be a cutesie-show, it should involve the troops being ordered into the field to scavenge for food, every fund with a federal component being frozen, and satellites falling out of orbit. Students sent home at their own expense from colleges several states away. And no spring break!
It should be bad enough that any Congress not passing a budget should be unable to adjourn and go home because the Capital is surrounded by torch-bearing desperate crowds. And there must be no continuing temporaries.

Word on the Hill is the internals were running heavily against them, especially in the Trump states they need to win (irrespective of the fig leaf vote those senators gave).
Several things were sticking with voters in the internals;
- The Schumer Shutdown
- Illegal immigrants over the average voter
- There was nothing in the bill Democrats opposed
- The fact that Republicans don't have 60 votes (Democrats thought people were ignorant
Wait for the immigration fight, which as you said McConnell already agreed to schedule two weeks ago

A popular sentiment ... but untrue.
Look at the total devastation we rained on the Germans and Japanese in WWII, forcing unconditional surrender, and that resulted in the greatest victory of any war in human history. Our most intransigent and implaccable enemies became our strongest and most trustworthy allies for well over half a century and we had an unprecedented long and wide term of peace and prosperity. Meanwhile France, our "ally" in WWII spent every year after the war (in which we saved their pathetic asses) stabbing us in the back over and over and over.

Someone correct me if I am wrong. Don't all spending and tax bills need to originate in the House? The Senate doesn't "appropriate" funds, it either approves, disapproves, or modifies what the House sends them.
This Democrat shutdown theater is over the Continuing Resolution that was sent to the Senate by the House. They modified it, then the Dems refused to vote for it despite being in agreement with what it said.
Now they are agreeing to the modified version, which then needs to go back to the House for another vote.

No. The Border Patrol needs to be able to see through the wall to check on activities so the prototypes with the see through barred lower panels are preferred. Then the upper part is smooth concrete so that part can't be climbed.
Anything with bars, even vertical bars, can be climbed, as they've learned.

You do know that Trump said he would sign a DACA if done legally and not by Obamunist style Executive Tyranny, right?
Or that may just be a ploy on his part to show how unreasonable the Demunists are, or that they have no guts to actually sponsor such legislation without facing the music from their constituents, especially the Joe Manchins that remain.

From the article I linked above:
"The report favors steel at the ground level because agents can see what is happening on the other side through mesh, and damage can more easily be fixed than concrete, the official said. With concrete, large slabs have to be replaced for even small breaches, which is time-consuming and expensive. Topping the steel with smooth concrete surfaces helps prevent climbing."

Look at the total devastation we rained on the Germans and Japanese in WWII, forcing unconditional surrender, and that resulted in the greatest victory of any war in human history.
The Western Allies weren't able to rain that kind of description on Germany in WWI. The Eastern Front had already collapsed with the departure of the Russians. The Anglo-French alliance wasn't going to fight it's way to Berlin.

- There was nothing in the bill Democrats opposed
- The fact that Republicans don't have 60 votes (Democrats thought people were ignorant

What kind of conversation could we have with a mayfly, it lives for one day? Its not that communication isn't theoretically possible, its just not worth the effort it would take to dumb yourself down to tolerate the exchange, and to what end, its dead at the end of the day. An interstellar civilization if such a thing exists, is way older than 2000 years. Our civ is like a twinkling in the eye for such creatures.
Extremely large gulfs in technology between civilizations will create a communication barrier - basically avoidance on the part of the higher tech civ.

Asteroid's have been whizzing along close to Earth ever since this planet coalesced out of the primordial gravel pile that was originally here. The scars on the moon show that most of the big ones with wild orbits fell into the various planetary gravity wells during the great early bombardment.
Currently, our best scientific evidence that we've collected says that planet killing asteroids come by once every 66 million years, or maybe longer. That number could easily be 100 million years, which means we've still got 34 million more years before we need to worry about it.
Here's the biggest danger of actually funding an asteroid deflection system - we would be building a device that could actually be used to deflect an asteroid INTO an earth collision, if any nefarious organization were to get it into their control. We would be creating the means of our own destruction, which would not ever happen unless we were stupid enough to create it ourselves.

Yes, that was certainly concerning. I have to wonder if all that has happened since he initially expressed this has changed his mind?
Specifically, the leaked memo by the Hillary campaign/Center for American Progress woman specifying how DACA kids are critical in future Democrat victories, and the way that Schumer and Pelosi have treated Trump since they started negotiating.
I am hoping that, plus the outcry from his base might have changed his mind a bit on the issue. Schumer has made sure that this is a win/lose for Trump, that it cannot be w win/win with his insistence on giving him DACA for nothing.

It has taken longer than immediately, but he has done just that.
He did NOT promise that he would deport every DACA recipient.

I believe Gateway Pundit ran a story yesterday of five illegals who were found in either Texas or Arizona dead from exposure to freezing temps a couple weeks ago. They were found by hunters.
Photos are pretty gruesome, several had become dinner for coyotes, etc. Border Patrol said that human coyotes take their money, get them to the border, point and leave them. None are dressed or have water, or provisions to withstand several nights in freezing temps. desert conditions, etc.
The wall in these areas would stop them from trying to cross in those areas. Walls can be used to funnel illegals into areas easier to patrol and stop.

The news reports said that there was a concern about dismounting from a 30 foot wall (i.e., a three story building). How many people could climb a 30 foot wall, and dismount on the side without breaking their necks? Hence my "Olympic material" comment. Sure, with the appropriate hardware, some training, and a lot of huevos, someone could do it, but most people couldn't/wouldn't want to try.

They reportedly used "jackhammers, saws, torches and other tools and climbing devices." I think flamethrowers could certainly be a possibility there.

I believe Gateway Pundit ran a story yesterday of five illegals who were found in either Texas or Arizona dead from exposure to freezing temps a couple weeks ago. They were found by hunters.
...
Yep, Texas. Brooks county has scores of dead illegals every year even though it's well north of the border. The coyotes take them off into the brush in order to avoid the Falfurrias highway checkpoint, and anyone who can't keep up gets left behind to die. Some are never found after the hogs get done with the bodies. A lot of the female illegals are raped and murdered there too. I met a rancher whose dog brought him a decomposed woman's head. Fun.

The Pennsylvania State Police don't patrol every mile of the Turnpike every minute. Every 100 miles or so they have a command center. Officers get into their cars daily and drive from one command center to the next, then return. Probably one every hour. Continuous coverage but not constant.
That's my view of the wall. A fence, then a single lane road, then another fence. Every once in a while it would have two lanes for a short distance to accommodate two cars getting around each other.

Every major military in the world has equipment and tactics for going through, over, or around minefields, anti-tank ditches, and barbed wire obstacles. But all military forces continue to use those "barrier" techniques. What do the Progs know that our Marine and Army engineers don't? Why don't Schumer and Gutierrez try to zero-out useless items like mines and barbed wire from the Pentagon budget?

From what I read, it says the SF teams used climbing equipment , saws, torches, jackhammers and other tools.
The designs were trying to foil such things, and this is what they were testing.
Also, it said they were just doing this as sort of experiment, and that the final design will likely combine the best elements of all the prototypes.
They're letting a little competition determine the best type of wall.

Every summer bodies are found in the Sonoran desert area of southern Arizona, they're not even publicized very much it's so common. You can't walk across it in the summer, your body will be baked, and you'll be frozen if you try in the winter.

The news reports said that there was a concern about dismounting from a 30 foot wall (i.e., a three story building). How many people could climb a 30 foot wall, and dismount on the side without breaking their necks? Hence my "Olympic material" comment. Sure, with the appropriate hardware, some training, and a lot of huevos, someone could do it, but most people couldn't/wouldn't want to try.

The bars have a solid header starting around 10 - 15 feet and reaching 60 feet. The top is rounded thus repels grappling hooks. And then, if you reach the top you have to find someway to drop 60 feet with out injury.
Posted by: Puddin Head at January 22, 2018 01:56 PM (YV+SU)
Yes, what I meant and failed to state clearly is that if the whole thing is bars, it can often be climbed, like the 18 ft fence built under the Secure Fence Act. Even girls can climb it.
That's why the upper parts of the prototypes are smooth concrete.

________________________
More than half of immigrant families, of both the legal and illegal variety, receive at least one form of federal welfare. Either food stamps, or Medicaid, or ADC, or SSI, or "tax credits," or whatever.
During the Obama administration, it was reported that the administration was paying billions of dollars a year in Medicare Part D prescription drug benefits to a few thousand illegal aliens. The Obama administration also admitted that it was knowingly paying billions of dollars' worth of food stamps to millions of illegal aliens every year.
There are so many of these federal welfare programs that knowingly pay billions every year to illegal aliens. The Treasury Dept. pays billions of dollars in "tax credits" -- which are thinly-disguised welfare payments to low-income tax filers -- to illegal aliens every year. A lot of people mistakenly believe that illegal aliens can't get these payments because they don't have SS numbers and/or because they don't file tax returns. But illegals have been onto this scam for years; they know all they need is a taxpayer identification number, which the IRS will give them automatically, and they start filing returns and getting checks, often for many thousands of dollars' worth of "tax credits."
These payments are one of the biggest reasons so many illegal aliens come here. It's a huge rip-off of American taxpayers, and it needs to end.

Does anyone really believe that the FBI "lost" texts from a senior FBI counterintelligence agent that were sent over an FBI device?
That's not even in the parking lot of the ballpark of believability. #ReleaseTheMemo#FireMueller
Green responds
Maybe I'm just getting paranoid, but today's limp excuse is so lame that it almost seems as though there must be something more sinister going on here than simply failing to comply with a congressional investigation.
What the FBI is doing is demonstrating its political power -- baring its fangs, if you will -- by showing in the most obviously unbelievable way that it will do what it please. The FBI wants the people who count to understand that the Bureau cannot and will not be held accountable.
Now I'm not actually comparing anyone at the FBI with Joseph Stalin, who made prisons out of entire nations and killed millions of civilians. But he did know a thing or two about high-level propaganda.
When Stalin wanted to make someone an unperson, he literally purged them from the history books. The results weren't always convincing, but they didn't need to be. Because the real message was to the survivors: You too can be erased, comrade.
I get that kind of vibe, albeit on a much less murderous scale, from today's FBI. The FBI didn't come up with a lame excuse because that's all they could come up with. They came up with a lame excuse because they think that's all they need.
And unless Congress steps up, they'll be right.

I've read about stuff like this. That we and the Brits do shit like this all the time. NSA/CIA would be barred by law from spying on American citizens according to whatever rules. But the Brits can spy on Americans all they want.
So, we wink and nod and tell the Brits we wouldn't mind if they spied on So-and-so. They then tell us what they learn. We didn't spy on anybody, a foreign power did.
And the Brits get us to do reciprocal things (but they are not as limited in what they can do).

What kind of conversation could we have with a mayfly, it lives for one day? Its not that communication isn't theoretically possible, its just not worth the effort it would take to dumb yourself down to tolerate the exchange, and to what end, its dead at the end of the day. An interstellar civilization if such a thing exists, is way older than 2000 years. Our civ is like a twinkling in the eye for such creatures.
Extremely large gulfs in technology between civilizations will create a communication barrier - basically avoidance on the part of the higher tech civ.
Throughout our history, we've always tried to communicate with civilizations we couldn't communicate with. Wasn't it Borneo that we attempted to repeatedly contact cannibals and head-shrinking natives? I can't imagine aliens being less curious than human beings.
We try and communicate with animals even though we're not the same species.

But how many got across it, once the East Germans got serious? A handful. That's all.
Plus, note that a city abutted The Wall on both sides: not untold miles of trackless desert. That made crossing The Wall a lot easier.
For my part, I'm happy to welcome as many Mexicans into the US who can cross by gliders and homemade balloons. We can work with people with that kind of initiative.

magical belief that things that obviously work, and are part of every
human effort at security, from mundane residential versions to military
ones, do not work in the border context?

It's easier for folks who don't want to do anything to pretend otherwise and tell the people who know the perfectly obvious that they're crazy.
They can probably count on their allies in the media to do most of the gaslighting, too.

The muzzie chick in a hijab that cosmetics company L'Oreal hired to be in its ads for hair products (which was already idiotic, since the hijab hides the woman's hair) has now been let go, after her hateful tweets about Israel became public.
So sad. Could have made some great hair-care ads with her:
"Armena's hair is so soft and silky. Sure you can't see it under her hijab, but trust us, it is. Even her hubby Muhammad commented on how nice it is now. It also doesn't break off as much when he punches her for asking to go out in public without a male relative escort!"

Your examples are mankind trying to talk to others of mankind. Its a gulf, but crossable.
An interstellar civilization talking to us would be like a man talking to a frog or a mayfly. There's just no point in crossing the gulf.
We do not try to communicate with fruit flies.

As part of the entire, freaking obvious and logical, total package - secure border, internal enforcement, and a business-like deportation process as is being restored now - border barriers will be highly, highly effective. Total game changer, if you're reference point is - as it should be - the last 30 years of lawlessness.
Knew the guy in charge of the anti-tunnel ops in the San Diego sector. Fun and games for those guys. But of course those very expensive, time-consuming efforts to defeat the barrier were only done for high-value things (drugs) - not remotely relevant to the mass migration that has transformed large parts of the southwest. And they're not that hard to defeat. Big loser for the bad guys - defeating them costs a fraction of the $$$/time it takes to create them.
While we're at it, let's talk about the absurd NPR-level myth that "visa-overstayers" account for most of the massive growth in illegals in the US since '86 (one MORE reason a secure border isn't important). Why not stipulate and stumble over *every* facially ridiculous myth in the collection?

One of the few areas where Levin is just wrong, he lets his ideology blind him. The relevant passage is the first line of the 14th amendment: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State within which they reside."
That is pretty straight language, and it's clear that the only dispute is what the phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" means. Ever since Wong Kim Ark (1989), our courts have worked with the definition that "Subject to the Jurisdiction Thereof" means that you can be arrested by the police authorities (state or federal) if you violate the law. Those who cannot be arrested, such as foreign ambassadors and (at the time this was written) Native Americans who could only be arrested by Tribal Police as long as they were on the res, were not "subject to the jurisdiction of." So, everyone else, regardless of parentage, who is born on US soil, is subject to the Jurisdiction of the US, and thus is given automatic citizenship at birth by virtue of the 14th amendment.
This can only be changed by another constitutional amendment which would change and revise that language.

So what if you build a 40 foot wall? I'll just get a 41-foot ladder!
I was in the sweet spot for that one. I have the ordnance.
"Tell you whatass hole. I happen to have a 40-foot ladder. You ever climb one? We can put 'er up right now if you'd like to give it a try."
"And then while you're up there, I get one shot at you. Just the one. And you can duck any direction you want to."
I never had to put that ladder up. Which is good because Jesus I hate it.
