The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

No, it doesn't. Again, the status quo doesn't have any emergency procedures.

Except for the current one, you mean?

Except again, the reality is far more complicated - because the reconciliation bills aren't simple. Which is the source of the "one vs. two" debate between the Senate and House GOP.

Hmm. The key part of this is that the debate is between the House GOP and the Senate GOP. Guess who’s not a part of that debate?

The only “debate” will be *how much more* to give the BP.

And to your point about “Trump passed up his chance…” yeah, no. As I said if he wants more border funding he’ll get it.

He also won’t have to settle for more “resources” in the form of people processing bogus amnesty applications…which is what the democrats were offering. Not an increase in actual law enforcement personnel. That’s another important wrinkle.
