Republicans -- Get This -- Compromise With Democrats for CR

Before that, an update to the J6 pipe bomb story.

The story is on hold.


Steve Baker
@SteveBakerUSA


🚨Update on J6 Pipe Bomber Report🚨

After an abundance of counsel from trusted parties within and outside the government, we've hit the pause button so those interested parties can have some more time to look at the J6 pipe bomber evidence. There are things they need to do internally.

This is a real story. When it breaks, it's going to be a HUGE story. There are a lot of moving parts, but we need to give them time to do what they need to do, and I know everyone is waiting. Believe me. Tensions are running high. There have been a lot of sleepless nights the last two weeks. But this is a game-changer, and we don't want to do anything to jeopardize that right now.

I was up at 3:30 am preparing the video clips for the release on this morning's Glenn Beck Program. Contrary to what so many X complainers will say, this wasn't a hype stunt for views and clicks. And no, the government didn't silence us. Glenn and I both were pretty amped up to put it all out this morning. And we were both very disappointed when the decision to postpone was made.

The government's investigation into the J6 pipe bombs was going nowhere just two weeks ago. Today I can tell you that has all changed. A bunch of people got pretty spun up yesterday.

Hang tight. It's all coming.

DISAPPOINTED!!!!

Well, this is understandable. They are about to name a citizen as a criminal who has been sought (sort of...) by the feds for almost five years. The story can't just be dashed off like an internet post; it needs a full legal scub-down by defamation lawyers.

Still:

DISAPPOINTED!!!!

On to the story of Republicans caving.

Here's why Republicans are caving: Despite the fact that it is the Democrats keeping the government shut down, the propaganda media has convinced the cow-like public that it's the Republicans who are to blame.

If they do press on, if they do keep the government closed, Democrats will be acting with confidence that comes from a number of polls that show more people blame Republicans for the shutdown than blame the Democrats, who actually caused the impasse. Two polls out just before the election, one from the Washington Post and the other from NBC News, both found that more people blamed Republicans for the shutdown than blamed Democrats.

That seems odd, given the plain facts of the case: Democrats are filibustering the government-opening bill. But it makes more sense after looking at media coverage of the standoff. In a new report, the Media Research Center's NewsBusters studied broadcast newscasts for October and noted that "the big three broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) have hammered both congressional Republicans and President Trump with a wall of negative shutdown coverage, while largely shielding Democrats from blame for the now-historic gridlock."

"Coverage across all three networks was conspicuously vague about how the shutdown had even occurred," the MRC report continued. "There were only 12 instances in which any of the three outlets hinted that Senate Democrats had voted repeatedly against a continuing resolution." Just informally reading print coverage of the shutdown, it's interesting to note that many articles discussed the internal Republican debate on ending the filibuster but did not specifically say the reason for the debate is that Senate Democrats are employing the filibuster to block a government funding bill that has majority support.

This must be because the GOP isn't anti-Israel enough. (According to Israel obsessives on the pseudoright.)

We're going to be delivering them a win in exchange for opening the government:


Andrew Desiderio
@AndrewDesiderio


THUNE told Senate Republicans to plan to stay here this weekend & that he'll tee up the House-passed CR for a vote TOMORROW -- but he said he was unsure if enough Dems would back it.

60+ would need to get on the bill and then amend

To the point about GOP skepticism -- Dems likely wouldn't provide the votes to advance the House-passed CR until there's clarity on *what* the final deal actually is.

CR end-date is still not ironed out, for example. And Dems demanding RIF language after R's expressed openness

I believe RIF means "Reduction in Force." Democrats want to force Trump to hire back all the useless leftwing bureaucrats fired by DOGE. Or maybe just fired during the shutdown. (But did we actually fire anyone during the shutdown, or did we just threaten to?)

How many we're agreeing to, I don't know.

Andrew Desiderio
@AndrewDesiderio

MORE -- Dems came to consensus that they should hold out a bit longer (i.e. block Fri procedural vote) to try to extract more from GOP, such as language on RIFs (which R’s injected into the convo)

Belief is they can get a better deal & shouldn’t fold for what’s currently on table


Early on, some R's privately grumbled about RIFs and blue-state funding freezes because Dems would likely use it as a bargaining chip in a deal to get out of the shutdown.

That is in fact what's happening

Byron York
@ByronYork

Bad precedent: Democrats will be rewarded for shutting down the government. Republicans did not insist on hard line. And biased media coverage helps shield Democrats from the consequences of what they have done

Well, if this just means that Trump will hire back people he fired during the shutdown and undo the funding freezes he imposed during the shutdown -- that's not catastrophic.

Look, let's be serious: Those were always bargaining points, intended to be leverage and ultimately bargained away.

If that's the price of opening the government and paying the troops and air-traffic controllers, shrug.

If that's all it is.

Democrats have also demanded that they be given a vote on spending taxpayer dollars on illegal aliens and extending the supposed "emergency" Obamacare subsidies Biden enacted.

But here's the rub: The deal they want is that that stuff would not require a 60-vote cloture vote to come to a vote, but would proceed directly to a vote where all you need is 51 votes.

Murkowski, Collins, Bill Cassidy and I'm sure a couple of other fake Republicans would then deliver Democrats their victory.

That would be a huge concession.


The Democrats never gave us anything.

The Republicans, of course, make concessions to terrorists.

Make them understand! Sure air travel is a mess. Sure. My brother is on back pay on furlough as he works for free. Sure. I get it. But the bazillions the damn Dims want for their precious illegals, that then finds the $ back to their pockets, is the red line.

The shutdown hurts Chuckie Schumer the most. Cave, and he's done politically. The GOP gets a scalp and AOC scoops up his seat. If the GOP caves, Schumer lives to fight off AOC another election cycle.

30 So the R's caved based on MEDIA outlet polls after the media lied their asses off for a month. Figures, the GOPe like the government behemoth just as much as the Ds do, it is only R voters that want to shrink the scope and size of the federal government.

37 I still don't understand why a CR was even on the table.

They need to pass a dang budget.

Make the departments send in budgets requests based on the average of their actual expenditures for the last ten years, less any grants they made just because they had the money, and take 10% off that.

Then put it in front of Congress and have them vote yay or nay, no amendment allowed.

Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher at November 06, 2025 06:29 PM (8ubw/)

The shifting narrative on that was wild. First, "not operative, fake." Then, "had explosive potential," which is not altogether exclusive of the first.

I suspect it was a dummy device with no actual connection from detonating source (timer, electronics) to the detonator and charge, kind of like next level from calling in a bomb scare.

The timing of it suggests someone involved in the J6 fedsurrection, and the FBI guy consulted is the source of the quote, "she's one of us."

I'm dealing with this right now in my personal life. I'm the people pleasing peacemaker. I'm finally growing a spine and setting healthy boundaries and rules with people, where before there were zero boundaries. Guess who is the villain in their eyes? Yes, me, the one setting the boundaries. I'm the bad guy.

Republicans have rolled over so much in the past, but now thanks to Trump they had the stones to set boundaries and grow a spine and a pair. Stand up to the Democrats and say no. To the toxic narcissists on the Democrat side, this is evil. And their press machine is better than ours, so the normies think it's our fault because they say so.

Yep. Pretty much. The GOP are a bunch of weak-knee'd spineless twats who I stopped identifying with in 2014. They never do the right thing when the cards are down. They never get out in front of the cameras and be bold and tell it like it is.

"If the Democrats wanted to keep funding these healthcare funds, then they should have done it in their so-called Inflation Reduction Act - but they didn't. They set it to expire at this end of this year because they wanted the CBO Scoring to appeal to voters. So no... its not getting funded because they didn't think it was important enough to extend past this deadline when they had all the power to do so."

So yeah, all of my tax dollars will go to some NGO, some unproductive crony pet project or be paid out directly to people who just showed up and bring nothing to the table.

True. Anyone can correct me if I am wrong, but the last budget passed was under GWB. I think.

The Senate GOP does not want to do the latter because once that horse is out of the barn, it can't be put back in. The Dems can sit back and point the finger of blame across the aisle that the GOP is holding things up.

Those long rectangular slices that were basically dough, tomato paste, and cheese.

I bought two.
Fold them in half and eat them holding that crust, I could throw both slices down in about ten minutes wash them down with a Dr Pepper, and spend the next 40 minutes goofing off until the next class.

And then by the end of my time they started selling those little Pizza Hut personal pizzas at my school.

It makes no sense. What is going on is not "discussion".

In a mid-20th century discussion period, every Democrat senator would have already talked themselves hoarse.

Modern politics have allowed this lackadaisical, near absentee "filibuster".

They have significantly changed the "filibuster", so we shouldn't even pretend it has the "historical" role.

249 >>Defense industry (getters of most of the $1T/year) is gonna start being pissed b/c almost all the biggies have furloughed their own employees between Oct 27 and Nov 1...and those folks won't get any of these days back - this is gonna start making Trump's economic numbers look bad this Christmas. This is usually a huge spending month...and now it's not.

Everyone is pissed. Airlines are going to start cancelling flights right before the busiest travel season of the year. Lots of people aren't getting paid and the Trump administration is running out of tricks to keep paying some of them.

Hopefully, this will encourage Republicans to get rid of the filibuster and start passing actual legislation.

271 The crime was not the placing of a harmless Cesar Sayoc-sparkler, but that its “discovery” was a back-up pre-planned “Emergency” to facilitate the Parliamentary Coup by Pence/Pelosi Productions.

This, just in case the Ashli Babbit-Crisis Acting Op failed to produce the required “Emergency”. YMMV, but I don’t believe ONE SINGLE WORD of the Babbitt Narrative.

272 If the shutdown continues, more feds expecting ‘sick outs’, Nov 6, 2025

Really?

In part, Federal News Network conducted an online poll from Nov. 4-6 of self-selected federal employees who said they are working during the partial government shutdown.

Aside from the few well-publicized strategic uses of sick leave like at the FAA or among TSOs, respondents say they have not necessarily noticed more federal employees calling out sick during the first month of the shutdown.

“As an excepted worker who must come in five days a week, I can’t take up a gig job like furloughed workers. I don’t think it’s a ‘sick out’ to protest, I think it’s people taking off to do part time jobs to start earning some money,” wrote one respondent."

Btw, the furloughed workers are waiting to retire (some were to Oct 1 & others at the very end of the year. They're not getting their last paychecks so they can retire and/or live until the end of the year to retire ).

RIFed employees are often offered a job some place else, possibly even another bureau within an agency. They don't want them, tough shit. That's the rules...forever. what would private industry give them?! Enough lies.

36+years
