Schumer and Jeffries should set a luncheon for Wednesday and invite Trump, Johnson, and Thune, to negotiate a deal on the shutdown and to organize a schedule of meetings to arrive at an annual budget and a long term plan for social security, Medicare, and the debt.

They won't show but would put the screws to Trump, Johnson, and Thune.

The Republicans tried the same type of empty theatrics when they shut down the Government the last time. It didn't move the needle then and it won't now. The Dems own this shutdown just like the Republicans did last time.

There are no screws to put to them. Republicans hold all the cards. The Dems have botched this in ghastly fashion.

The Republicans will hold out and continue to point out that the Dems have shafted their constituents trying to get benefits for illegals. Trump's executive branch will continue to operate with all the power during the shutdown. The Dems will cave with nothing to show for it except self-inflicted bruises and black eyes.

You bought in, hook, line, and sinker.

Yep, just let Russ Vought start carving away at leftist programs and their resources this week and see how they hold up.

I ain’t gonna lie.

I don’t care.

Nothing and absolutely nothing has changed in my life since the shut down.

Most working people haven’t noticed either.

Longer this goes and more people lives don’t change the more the Dems side weakens.

Biggest affect on my life right now is wondering if the TSA lines will be longer next week, so we'll show up an extra hour earlier. Small price to pay for the government doing less (damage) while it's closed down.

I don’t. I literally only think about it when I open this forum and see the thread and even then I’m like eh.

Gov should be military, federal roads, and help for only those who truly really need it and honestly that’s about it. And those who are helped should have requirements to stay on it and it shouldn’t be for life.

Stay out of everything else and leave it to the states.

Do you think if Trump meets with them it will help with his chances of re election in 28?

More lawmakers say they're rejecting paychecks as government shutdown drags on

Lawmakers from both parties are asking to have their pay withheld as the government shutdown nears a week.
www.foxnews.com www.foxnews.com

"But lawmakers requesting their pay be withheld cannot forgo it altogether, because federal law requires them to be paid.

Article I of the Constitution states, "The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States."

Further, the 27th Amendment prevents any changes to congressional pay until after the next election.

A source familiar with the matter told Fox News Digital that members of Congress can elect to have their pay withheld until a shutdown is over, but they must receive that as backpay when the government is funded again.

Meanwhile, Rep. Joe Morelle, D-N.Y., the top Democrat on the Committee for House Administration, told Bloomberg Government last week that those checks can go into an account separate from lawmakers' usual salaries. He told the outlet, "It’s an administrative way of withholding pay for people who choose to."

Congressional staffers, meanwhile, automatically miss paychecks if their pay period falls during a government shutdown — but that is also backpaid when the shutdown ends."

Bucking for Frank's VN Susan B Anthony award?

Spoiler alert: He never gives you all the Frank bucks. It's always "I'm a little short this month. Can I make it right next month?" Then he disappears like a fart in the wind.
