They realize the shutdown is bad for them and are trying to change the narrative. Who could have imagined telling everyday Americans that illegal immigrants were more important than them isn't a good look

Now if they added term limits to it, I'd have a gigantic Ameriboner.


Don't stop there

End congressional pensions and put those leaches on the same health care and social security as the rest of us

Heitkamp, McCaskill, Tester, Stabenow and Manchin.

All 5 Dem Senators up for reelection in states that Trump won. Could this be more disingenuous?

They want to grandstand a bit, but they're not about to get crazy with it.

Not only should they withhold pay, they should not be allowed to collect back pay once the government shutdown ends - i.e., they should suffer permanent pay loss if they can't manage to pass a bill to fund the government.

Personally, I would like to see the shutdown last for a month or two so the public will realize it is no big deal and has little effect on their lives.

The liberal dems got their big bucks from Obama's stimulus plan. They can make it farther so they can press the GOP. Hypocrites.

All 5 will be relected easily. I do agree this is political theatre.
