Good luck to them.  Hopefully the donors will stop donating enough to make the stupid hurt.

   I agree @catfish1957 NO law has been broken.  With that being said He brought this all on himself and continues to lie about it.  Which brings the question as to how stupid does he think we are?

What's more disturbing is those who believe those blatant lies. But those lies have nothing to do with any actual crime committed. The actual massive crime here is what the legal system is doing to itself to burn some one's house down at any cost.

There is so much evidence there must be a crime?

Hicks sent draft responses to Cohen after Playboy model's deal came to light
By Kyle Schnitzer

Jurors were shown four draft responses Hope Hicks sent Donald Trump's "fixer" lawyer Michael Cohen to review as a story about the Karen McDougal deal was about to be published.

But Cohen had his own ideas.

“Instead … say: These accusations are completely untrue and just the latest despicable attempt by the liberal media and the Clinton machine to distract the public from the FBI’s ongoing criminal investigation into Secretary Clinton and her closest associates.”

Hicks read the email sent to her by Cohen on Nov. 4, 2016.

Court is now on a lunch break.

How about the GOP learn to point the finger and say "YOU shut the Government down!". Attach it to any major spending bill or CR. If Biden won't sign it, point the finger at him! If Schumer won't pass it, point the finger at him!

Quit being bleep. Take up a collection and buy a spine.

The Democrats do what they do because it works and will keep doing it because it works.

First  McCarthy literally tried the exact thing you are suggesting last September.  He tied HB 2 to the omnibus spending bill, and he even got the Senate GOP to agree to support it.  But a couple dozen House conservatives killed it, at which point the Senate GOP decided (correctly) that the House wouldn't be able to pass a bill of its own, so they agreed to let the Dem bill out with a few modifications.  Once the Senate GOP bailed, the House lost any leverage it might have had.  No less a conservative that Chip Roy said this about his fellow House conservatives who killed that bill:

Quote
FIRST ON FOX: Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, vented frustration at his Republican colleagues who are opposing a stopgap proposal to avert a government shutdown cobbled together by the conservative House Freedom Caucus and the more pragmatic Main Street Caucus.

"If a Republican opposes a 30-day, 8% cut to the non-defense, non-veteran federal government with the best border security bill we've ever had attached to it, I honestly don't know what to say to my fellow Republicans other than you're gonna eat a s--- sandwich, and you probably deserve to eat it," Roy told Fox News Digital on Wednesday.

"I'm an equal opportunity basher of stupid, and I think this is stupid."

A politician being right and patriotic on underlying issues is worthless if they are politically stupid.  Completely and utterly worthless.

Second, the idea that House Republicans can win the PR faceoff you are demanding at this point is a fantasy.  Without the Senate GOP backing the shutdown play, the narrative -- and it will be the truthful narrative -- will be that a bipartisan Senate and the President both support a bill to keep the government open, but House Republicans refuse to pass it because they want to add something else to it.

But that's not the real problem.  The real problem is that moderate House Republicans in swing districts already have stated that they will not support an extended shutdown, and will sign a discharge petition to pass a clean CR to keep the government open and not have seniors go without checks, close national parks etc.  Of course, that petition takes 30 days so what you'd end up with is House Republicans shutting down the federal government for 30 days in a losing cause, and everything ending up in the exact same place as if it had passed initially.  A thirty day shutdown that accomplishes nothing would be an election disaster for the GOP.  No way to spin that.
