-some Dem lawmaker


So where are the doomsday media reports about Dems shutting down the government and killing millions of people?

And, is this what the Dems want to advertise? "Illegal immigrant families are more important than the rest of you."


Yeah, I still don't give two shits about the government shutting down. It's actually an opportunity for the Executive Branch to service all the debt and only shut down meaningless shite. Enough of this "our credit rating will take a hit" bullshite.

I hope they do shut down the government over DACA. I have a sneaking suspicion the public will side with the right on this issue.

It's difficult to imagine the democratic brain trust believing this to be a winning tactic for them.

unlike the republican cucks, trump does give 2 shits about a shut down and sees it as another way to reduce the spending ob needless government BS

plus american already know the dims plans and it all gets blamed on them so this will not work out well for them

My suspicion is they believe they can buffalo the republicans in to doing something stupid. They've been conditioned to expect republican surrender, so it is hard to blame them.

I can’t believe the Dems are willing to fall on this sword like this.

You're correct on all counts. The media will likely shift from blaming the party "causing" the shutdown to praising the dems for holding to their principles.

In any event, I doubt if Trump closes down the Vietnam Memorial and Mount Rushmore like his predecessor did out of spite.

They can try to force the House and Senate to do so.

Still got to get The Donald to sign off unless they get 2/3 majorities in both, which is possible but unlikely.

Only Republicans shut down the government. Doesn't matter who does it.

Trump is hoping the dims do shut down American workers and their paychecks over illegals. Will be a slam dunk for Trump and possibly kill dims in the next election due to their placement of illegals over Americans!

Trump would love to stop paying for useless programs and bloated bureaucracy, even if it's temporary. Democrats are driving a moped and trying to play chicken with Trump in a dump truck.

So, they're going to shut down the government to attempt to protect the rights of noncitizens (children of invaders)?

Good to know...
