Some Democrats believe that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) struck a deal with House Republicans Friday night to pass a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security this week, but House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) says no such deal exists.
“There is no such deal and there’s no such bill,” Scalise told “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace. “On Friday, there was a bill on the House floor to pass a clean funding bill. And we rejected that because we said we’re fighting the president on what he’s doing illegally on immigration.”
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) also addressed reports of a deal during his appearance on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”
“The promise I made to Ms. Pelosi is the same promise I made to Republicans: that we would follow regular order,” he said.
was this just another ‘messy’ negotiation that left all parties confused?
or… either pelosi was punked by boehner; or she lied to her members to save boehner’s ass…
someone please call her office for a response.
I have a feeling that tomorrow Pelosi is going to shove a great big telephone pole up the ass of Scalise, and an even bigger one up Boehner’s. These mofos are desperate. Let the fucking DHS shut down if there is no clean bill that funds it completely. The Senate can’t save them without eliminating the filibuster, and Obama will veto it anyway if it fucks over his immigration EO, so hang these whiny ass titty babies out to dry.
“Illegal”
They keep on using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means…
I have a feeling Pelosi and Reid get it. Even if they wanted to, the Dems can’t extend funding in increments. If nothing else, this gave DHS employees notice that they are on their on and to make any contingency plans if they can at this point.
Pretty cocky for a guy who got is ass kicked from here to Sunday. It was his job to have the votes and he failed miserably. Does he even realize how big a fool he is?
