It passed the Senate, and should pass the House at 6:30 (80 min or so from now).

Do the Dem's now switch and vote no?

Easily passed, NP, said they have the votes in House. Do the D's flip on NP, do they change their minds ?

I think it will pass personally, POTUS said he would sign it & declare NE. The question I have is that POTUS has until Tuesday to sign (3 day weekend). What can happen in those 3 days that it isn't signed? We still have NE and not have it signed, is that effectively a 3 day shutdown?

I'm not sure what the play is either, optics are bad if he signs it, optics are bad if he doesn't.

I'm guessing either shit goes down in the 3 days (over the 3 day weekend), or we have to wait 2 weeks of shit flinging before we get storm arrival.

Question:

Why are they compromising on this stupid deal to keep the government open to protect SES & themselves from being arrested?

The bill is giving like 3x + the amount to other stupid slush funds, than they are giving to the wall. I personally think we have to wait a couple weeks the media will attack the stupid bill until people awaken to how bad congress is for signing it without even going through all 1100 ish pages.

Then we get the storm in 2 weeks, when the public is really pissed off ?

George W. Bush declared 13 emergencies and Barack Obama declared 12 — nearly all of which are still active today. Bill Clinton declared 17 national emergencies, six of which are still active. Ronald Reagan declared six and George H.W. Bush declared four — but all of those have been revoked by now.

Presidents must renew national emergencies every year because the statute lets emergencies automatically expire after one year.

The media and the Democrats have lost their minds over Trump’s threat to call a national emergency to end the government shutdown.

The Democrats reactions have been either outright horror, calling Trump a dictator, or just terror induced anxiety quelled by publicly hoping that Trump is bluffing.

He is not bluffing and moreover, he is nothing close to a dictator unless Bill Clinton, George Bush and Barack Obama were dictators.

The facts are quite simple – we have checks and balances and over the last 40 years the executive branch has grown bolder in asserting its power. Both sides have done this and both sides have found ways to justify executive power expansion.

And both sides have found arguments to blast it when they weren’t in power. From CNN:
