But I thought it’s not a Trump shutdown any more. The Orange Dumpster Fire needs to make up his mind.
Where was the Democrats' outrage when Obama did it?
At least this president isn't weaponizing a shutdown.
Trump keeps open-air parks, monuments open to shun Obama's 'weaponization' of shutdown
It takes 60 votes to pass legislation in the Senate all the Republicans will vote for it. The President will sign it if it reaches his desk. Zero Democrats have voted for it in the House and no Democrat in the Senate supports it either. Therefore the Democrats are the ones that are stopping the house legislation not the Republicans. This is Schumer Shutdown II plain an simple. If this goes on the Republicans may go nuclear on the Democrats.
He is weaponizing it. He wants his wall and won't compromise for anything else. It's the art of the deal - if you don't get everything you want, have a temper tantrum and go out of business.
You’re wrong, as usual.
You do accept NBC-DNC as a source?
Dude.. lay off the eggnog. It clearly states in your OWN ****ING QUOTE, that the Senate requires 60 votes to ADVANCE it to final passage.. that is exactly what I stated. You do understand there is a difference between advancing a bill to be able to vote on it for final passage and the actual vote for final passage right?
Amazing you dont even know your system and this is a basic one that has been talked about since forever.

Toss in the "fake media" to boot. Because Donald never said what he said. :roll:Watch: it will become all Hillary's fault.
You were being deceitful.
Good try though.
LOOL caught with your pants down not knowing your own legislative system and you go on the offensive by calling me deceitful.. what page of the Trump manual is that on?

Chuckie Schumer is a lot like Harry Reid. They are both stubborn and demonstrated they do not care if the government shuts down or if America goes bankrupt or if America suffers more massive terror attacks. They both demonstrated their intention to force Congress to do their own will or else.
Probably the same page that omitted the fact that the senate had passed a spending bill that had no funding for the wall and it passed unanimously. It was the Republican House that failed to pass that spending bill.
Read the article.
Obama shut down everything, weaponizing against the people... Trump isn't doing that. The gov. is still partially open! Again, READ the article.
Obama shut down the gov. COMPLETELY because of what he wanted and wouldn't compromise for 18 long days.
Trump is on day two of his PARTIALLY CLOSED gov. because he wants a measly 0.135% of the federal budget to fund his signature legislation. The obstructing Democrats are complicit!
The American people voted for this.
The American people thrice bitch slapped Congress for trying to pass amnesty for the invaders... and Congress dropped it because of the American people rising up.
Democrats promised border security 32-years ago.
It is Democrats who are having a tantrum. It’s actually fun and funny to watch.
Sorry, didn't know that was her foot.
Oh no, the pictures are just generic, but yes, her toe looked a lot like that, it was pretty gnarly looking.
I told the doctor that I am terrified of messing with her feet because the least little thing can set this off.
If you cut the toe accidentally while trimming a toenail, or any kind of a cut to the toes at all you run the risk of setting off a bone infection.
It all boils down to crappy circulation in the lower extremities, and most paraplegics have lousy leg circulation.
She doesn't have a spinal cord injury, she has multiple sclerosis, but it technically makes her a paraplegic even though she still has some feeling in certain parts of her legs and feet.
Anyway, what I was getting at is, ignoring stuff like a government shutdown and thinking it doesn't do any harm is just like a paraplegic ignoring or neglecting their feet, or any able bodied person ignoring a bad infection. You think it's just minor until the infection hits your bloodstream.
Then all of a sudden you turn septic and go into toxic shock and you can be dead in a matter of hours.
The entire notion that a government shutdown, even a partial one, is benign is sheer lunacy.
I suspect that, just like the last time, the Centers for Disease Control will be shut down.
Imagine a severe epidemic suddenly hits part or all of the United States, and the CDC's network of techs and researches are all home on furlough.
Or imagine that a severe winter storm is about to hit the East Coast and the National Weather Service is closed, so no advanced forecasting is available.
Or imagine that a sudden severe epidemic hits the food supply somewhere, and the FDA is closed.
This is mass madness. It is playing Russian Roulette.
Toss in the "fake media" to boot. Because Donald never said what he said. :roll:
"I am proud to shut down the government for border security... I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down."
-Donald Trump to Chuck Schumer.
Shovel ready jobs are always available, and they aren't dependent on a good or bad economic situation. If you can't find any, you aren't looking. How has that GM bailout worked out? Nobody can reasonably expect that all effort will be successful, but we should've been able to expect a much higher and quicker recovery rate than we experienced under the Obama administration. As economic performance indicated, we received far too little for such enormous spending.
Literally what i said, how can anybody blame this on Chuck when the President has openly and clearly stated this would be his responsibility? :lol: (a stupid move clearly)

I view it the same as boating, basically the rule is sail boats under sail have the right of way over power boats because the power boat is more maneuverable and can avoid a collision easier. However, the fault is laid to the vessel that had the last chance to avoid a collision but did not.
