House Republicans have called off votes for the week in light of Bush funeral observances (which are Wednesday). Discussions underway about a 2wk CR to punt shutdown threat to days before Xmas. Lame duck Congress limps toward year end.

there's no place for logic or rational thought here, pal. (in truth, dems opposed to that short of CR thru Sept. b/c they want to clear the decks for the new congress/find potus current position unreasonable)
Seconding the sentiment that looking for rationality here can be a fool's errand, but Ds & Rs both have incentives to avoid early-2019 CR vote, Ds because they want clear decks, Rs because they'll be in minority & weaker-positioned to control outcome

yup. &/or if they're going to lose/compromise down, better to shutdown & punt to a D Speaker. also legit fear potus wouldn't sign a cr of any length beyond this congress. still could totally happen - nothing like xmas/defeated lawmakers to spur a deal. but not yet.
