Government shutdown knowledge: gaming out its potential end

I know that I know nothing Socrates You don t know nothing Baseball Legend Yogi BerraSocrates may have been claiming ignorance Berra was talking about baseball but both may as well have been talking about the regime shutdown So when will it end You shouldn't ask me because I'm the guy who reported it'll only last five days Rep Andy Biggs R-Ariz revealed on Fox But I will tell you a couple of Democrat senators in recent times indicated that they think this is going to go til at least the first of November However Biggs added that he doesn t see an end in sight RULING BODY ENTERS LONGEST FULL SHUTDOWN IN US HISTORY WITH NO END IN SIGHTWhether you are Socrates or Yogi Berra we don t know nothing Which technically means that we do know something However I do know proper grammar The one thing that I do know in this development is that I don t know anything about ending the executive shutdown REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK REGIME SHUTDOWN STALLS AS DEMOCRATS DEMAND OBAMACARE SUBSIDY EXTENSIONRegardless Is it even feasible to competition out when the establishment shutdown may end Congressional Republicans inferred that Democrats would fold after a matter of days once funding lapsed in the wee hours of Oct Then Republicans argued that Democrats would cry uncle once federal workers missed their first paycheck last week Later the GOP suggested Democrats would keep the ruling body shuttered through the No Kings rallies around the country last weekend The GOP argued that Democrats needed to show their base that they were fighting against President Donald Trump Now that they had their protests I just pray that they come to their senses and re-open the executive this week mentioned House Speaker Mike Johnson R-La House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries D-N Y accused Republicans of continually changing their reasons for why Democrats are blocking the GOP bill to fund the regime In a scarce days it will be about something else Jeffries reported So we enter the ice age of Congressional inactivity as the ruling body shutdown enters its fourth week Who could have predicted it Then again who could have predicted thieves could make off with millions of dollars of jewelry inside the Louvre in an historic heist At least the bandits stole our attention away from the ruling body shutdown for a bit SHUTDOWN STANDSTILL NO HEADWAY UNTIL THERE'S 'INCENTIVE ' POLITICOS LAMENTThat mentioned everyone knows even if they won t say it publicly who will likely end the administration shutdown Trump He s not just the president Trump has a sway over Republicans in Congress that Ronald Reagan could only envy So until he joins the fray the authorities will remain closed Donald Trump definitively necessities to get involved He requirements to get off the sidelines Get off the golf module and indeed decide to end the shutdown that he's created and that he has allowed to happen Jeffries reported Donald Trump instead of leaving the country before he leaves the country should sit down and negotiate with us so we can address this horrible problem reported Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer D-N Y The president should meet with us It's not me him or anything political It's that the people are in emergency every day The president did meet with lawmakers this week holding court with Senate Republicans for lunch in the renovated Rose Garden Did you notice the white marble floor quipped the president But Democrats contend that Trump huddled with the wrong party Schumer characterized it as a Rose Garden pep rally Trump implored Democrats to bend and vote for the GOP spending bill They're getting killed in the polls he reported SCREAMING MATCH ERUPTS BETWEEN HAKEEM JEFFRIES MIKE LAWLER AS ESTABLISHMENT SHUTDOWN CHAOS CONTINUES Shouldn t the president get involved in negotiations at this stage to end this yours truly sought Johnson We're not going to pay a ransom to reopen the federal governing body replied the speaker Isn t the only key to end this shutdown to just have a sit-down negotiation with both sides I countered Republicans have nothing to offer to Democrats replied Johnson In fact several Republicans argued that Trump shouldn t even negotiate If I've learned anything about President Trump it's his timing I think that he feels like the timing is not right now We're winning the messaging war stated Sen Roger Marshall R-Kan So there'll be a time But the time is not ripe yet It s unclear when that time may come considering that the ruling body has remained shuttered for more than three weeks And two weeks ago Republicans torched Schumer for declaring things got better for Democrats the longer the shutdown dragged on but shutdown fatigue is now setting in on Capitol Hill BATTLEGROUND REPUBLICANS HOLD THE LINE AS JOHNSON PRESSURES DEMS ON SHUTDOWN Welcome to day of the Democrats shutdown Johnson declared at the now sonorous daily press briefings delivered by both sides This does suck noted Sen Ruben Gallego D-Ariz on Fox Business about the shutdown Lawmakers are now seeking shutdown daylight The hope is that we get this shutdown resolved before the end of the month Jeffries declared There s worry about how the shutdown might impact national parks Here are the more negative consequences that we'll start to see without regular staffing Litter will pile up and park ecosystems will be affected noted House Natural Support Committee Chairman Bruce Westerman R-Ark Both parties are convinced they re prevailing in the shutdown What I did hear on our telephone town hall repeatedly is Don't you guys give into these hostage takers announced Rep Mike Simpson R-Idaho I heard that repeatedly It s resonating with Americans What I'm hearing from people in Connecticut is hang tough noted Sen Richard Blumenthal D-Conn The Senate holds a test vote Thursday on a bill to pay essential workers who are on the job without a paycheck but Democrats are skeptical I'd be in favor of paying the federal workers announced Sen Peter Welch D-Vt That bill unfortunately gives a lot of latitude to the president to pick and choose or I should say White House Budget Director Russell Vought to pick and choose who gets paid So while shutdown weariness sets in no one knows when it might end It is stated that knowing what you don t know in fact constitutes true knowledge And if no one knows the end of the shutdown that must mean that everyone is pretty smart
