What do you propose to do about it?Go ahead and blame Trump he sucks anyway. Meanwhile the rich will keep on getting the coupon payments from their T-bond holdings. And will be preparing to buy assets on the cheap from people whose transfer payments have ground to a halt.
It doesn't work that way, Democrats in the opposition party want President Trump to put illegal immigrants ahead of our own citizens by giving in to their blackmail. He doesn't want to do it and can't force them to be reasonable.
You do know that a Bill hasn't reached the desk of President Trump? You seem to think he's the only politician in the country and that we don't have 51 Republican Senators and 49 Democratic Senators along with the House members that have voted positively on the Bill. By trying to single out President Trump as the only voice is for you, once again, to prove how ignorant you are about our system of government. You do things differently in.................. where is it you claim to come from now?So what's reasonable in tajbot land? Agree with the donald regardless. Everyone needs to fall into line and do what der fuhrer tells them. They aren't allowed to have their own opinions and ideology. That seems to be your argument tajy. It makes that quote in your sig seem a touch ironic.
Good luck with your frothing at the mouth, delusional crusade. Every time I read one of your posts it's a struggle not to take the piss out of you. Have a nice day.
So then let’s just have Trump do something without enabling legislation that likewise has widespread appeal then tie it to the budget. Voter ID would be a great example, or the Balanced Budget Amendment. Both parties get a top priority the voters are 80% or more in favor of but are bitterly opposed by the other party. Win-win.
Are You Fucking stupid?Interesting little meme you found. I notice that all the brave soldiers not getting paid are sweet, deserving white folks and they're not getting paid because of a buncha undeserving, and obviously nasty, brown folks.
Sweet bit of propaganda indeed.
All I know is that Republicans are in charge of everything and government is shutting down. That's all I know.

So have Republicans put a standalone CHIP bill out there and dare Democrats to oppose it.
Of course they (Republicans) won't. Because they never gave a shit about the kids in the first place. That's why they've waited months to propose renewing CHIP, so they could use the families that rely on it as bargaining chips.
Game theory dictates that hostage takers don't care about their hostages.
I have to admit that Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch was just about the biggest win so far. It's my opinion that this shutdown is going to turn into another one. We'll see.Indeed. The same Mitch McConnell who blocked the consideration of a Supreme Court nominee for nine months now says that six weeks is plenty of time to get a DACA fix passed.
What he was really hoping for is to stall long enough that it would put the dreamers in such a desperate situation that the only alternative to deportation was accepting whatever the Republicans wanted.

Bork ? You meant Bork, right?Only psychopathic con men & their sycophants define fucking over innocent people as "winning". I suppose that's to be expected after the way they fucked over Garland.
The fact of the matter is there was bipartisan opposition to confirming Bork's nomination in the Senate, it certainly was not just Democrats.Bork ? You meant Bork, right?
Not sure why you are asking me this. I was looking for examples of Democrats fanning the flames of race relationships.
No matter how anyone spin it, Democrat put the welfare of illegal over usa citizen. That is ALL us citizens need to know.
