Trump shut this shit down.
What did people expect to get from this?

My personal take on this is that Trump is eyeing more golfing time.
That plus this.

How dare you measure The Donald with the same stick he measured Obama? That stick has been tainted by the Kenyan Muslim! Sieg Heil!

Yeah you’re correct and I won’t vote for Trump 34 months from now.
 
Has anyone read the Art of the Deal? I wonder if there is text in there suggesting that his way of negotiating deals involves blaming the other party.
 
Trump once again calling for the filibuster to be eliminated this morning. Only problems I can see with that are 1) Senate Rs don't want to, 2) They are forgoing a budget resolution this year so they don't have 51 votes anyway, 3) Helps make this thing look like more their fault.

Good for them that Stable Genius is on the case.

But..but..but... weren't he and all his cronies telling us they need 60 votes to pass a funding bill? :blush:

I'm still looking for the chapter on accusing them of being complicit in murder.

Thus far I get the impression Trump doesn't want much to do with this whole thing. We're a long way away from "I alone can fix it".

Hopefully your reason is that you're using Trump's words to judge him (a logically valid reason) as opposed to those words having some kind of logical merit and therefore are a useful tool to judge a presidency with.

Even Trump figured out that 50+1 equals a spending bill and that Mitch is full of shit when he blames the Dems for the shutdown. Every day lends credence to the idea that Trump really is a Clinton plant designed to destroy the Republican Party.
 
It was democrat who FORCE DACA in the vote, which doesn't deserve to exist in the first place.
DACA and CHIP for that matter could have been handled anytime in the last several months by the republicans.

If they had it would have taken leverage out of the Dems hands. They should have dealt with it in any case as they are in charge of the government and being effective leaders means handling federal issues as they occur.

Instead they neglected governance, and instead focused on (failing) to repeal the ACA and passing tax cuts. They then waited until the very last minute to try and pass yet another CR and failed.

The could have avoided this by actually working to pass an actual budget. They’d didn’t. Shocking I know.

But nope it’s gotta be the Dems.
