Nomination confirmations...only a few a week isn't a full week, they are working three day weeks and going home Wednesday.

The senate has refused to do anything on over 100 bipartisan bills dems have passed

Not a single one of those bills provided a single dollar for the border wall, until you do that

you will accomplish nothing.

If the issue is a border wall then why didn't you pass it over the eight years you held both houses?

Government has to work, it can't be locked down and stopped over an agenda that isn't working through legislation. Trump is not a king, and the senate needs to address each bill with debates and a v**e.

What you are saying is that you as a person have no problem with a hundred senators working a three day work week and refusing to do their jobs on over a hundred separate legislations, many of which need to be done.

The GOP forgot how to legislate in their obsession with obstruction.

And actually both the house and senate passed a comprehensive immigration bill that included border funds back when Trump wanted 30 Billion (or the senate was going to) until Trump changed his mind and said he wouldn't sign the bill.

The problem with the senate is that Trump will start playing games with what he capriciously decides on his latest whim he won't sign.

McConnell has to worry about the split between two factions of senate republicans, and then putting Trump in a position where he looks even more r****ded when he decides for no reason to refuse to sign bills

If a bill has nothing to do with the border why should unrelated funds be added?

Lt. Rob Polans ret.

The entire government is playing games. I wouldn't mind as much if they paid for ANYTHING. Haircuts, healthcare (much better than ours), anything you can imagine there is a Senate and House slush fund for it. We haven't been represented for over 50 years.
