WASHINGTON — The Senate will vote Thursday on two separate bills that would bring an immediate end to the partial government shutdown: one backed by President Trump that includes $5.7 billion for his border wall and another that would simply extend funding for shuttered agencies through Feb. 8.

The plan, a compromise between Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader, and Senator Chuck Schumer, the Democratic leader, offers the first hint of a path out of the partial shutdown, which is now in its fifth week and has left 800,000 federal workers without pay. The two announced it Tuesday afternoon on the Senate floor.

“People are saying isn’t there a way out of this mess, isn’t there a way to relieve the burden on the 800,000 federal workers not getting paid, isn’t there a way to get government services open first and debate what we should do for border security later?” Mr. Schumer said. “Well, now there’s a way.”

I really want to see the world burn, but whatever. As long as they still go for daca and, I am happy to let this go for two weeks.

Blah blah blah

In the grand scheme of things none of this matters

Free yourselves from the captivity of negativity

Schumer’s word doesn’t really matter here, they can pass whatever they want. As long as Pelosi opposes it their would be no deal.

The real question is whether Trump will sign it. I think it will mean a defeat for him if he does.

How do you figure? One of the bills has $5 billion and does not address us. If anything, he's gaining and not giving. Is there something you're understanding that I'm not?

Exactly.

Tired of people here bitching and complaining about the government. If your happiness and success is defined by what the government does or doesn't do, then you are not in control of your life.

There are two bills being voted on Thursday.
One is the Trump proposal. The other is just an extension bill for current funding.
Both of the bills not likely to pass with 60 votes.
