Sorry for the late response, I’m a busy person and I had to find news stories sources/links that are almost 2 months old, but I was really surprised that you had forgotten how the whole drama started?Who fed you that? CNN? LOL. There was a reason the bill was given back to house to put the wall in it...and they did and passed it. The senate vote never got done on the revised one...because Mitch did not want to use the nuclear option.

I stand by what I said, the drama was triggered after the Republican controlled Senate passed a bipartisan short-term spending bill on December 19, that Trump had indicated he will sign, otherwise think about it, why would Republican Senators pass a bill that their own President was not going to sign, that’s not how our system works.
Here we go:
Senate passes short-term spending bill to avert shutdown
12/19/2018
The legislation was passed by voice vote and will keep the government open until Feb. 8, Source
Meanwhile it looks like Trump is again ready to cave, and the new deal is even worse than the deal he rejected in December last year.
Of course, his extremist crazy supporters, Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity are not happy:
Sean Hannity called it a garbage compromise “On this new, so-called compromise, I’m getting details,” Fox News host Sean Hannity said, referring to the tentative agreement reached by a bipartisan conference committee that would allocate roughly $1.3 billion for physical barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border. “1.3 billion? That’s not a — not even a wall, a barrier?” Hannity said. Source
With Shutdown Looming, Border Deal Is Reached ‘in Principle’
WASHINGTON — House and Senate negotiators on Monday night agreed in principle to provide $1.375 billion for fencing and other physical barriers at the Mexican border, part of a broader agreement that would stave off another partial government shutdown without funding President Trump’s wall.
The agreement would allow for 55 miles of new bollard fencing, with some restrictions on location based on community and environmental concerns, according to two congressional aides, who requested anonymity to disclose details of the private negotiations. That is a fraction of the more than 200 miles of steel-and-concrete wall that Mr. Trump demanded — and 10 miles less than negotiators agreed on last summer, before Democrats took control of the House.
The deal, which must still pass the House and the Senate, and secure Mr. Trump’s signature, came together just before Mr. Trump, framed by banners emblazoned with “Finish the Wall” at an event in El Paso, doubled down on his demands.
“We’re building the wall anyway,” he told the crowd, saying that aides had told him that the negotiators had made progress.
The funding for 55 miles of new fencing is a figure far lower than the $5.7 billion that Mr. Trump had demanded and marginally less than the $1.6 billion for 65 miles of pedestrian fencing in the bill that the Senate Appropriations Committee had passed last year.
In December, the president, concerned about reneging on his signature campaign promise, refused to sign onto that legislation, forcing the nation’s longest government shutdown. Source

You should add your two cents there ...and tell all the folks there why ORANGE MAN BAD when it comes to something so common sense as having a wall on the border with mexico.

This is just the beginning of the acrimony for the next two years.
