Official USMB Shutdown Showdown Thread --- Week of Jan 14th, 2019

[Hutch Starskey]

Don't spending bills have to originate in the House of Representatives?

Hmmm.

Sitting on McConnell's desk.

 

[Rambunctious]

Trump has barricaded himself in the White House and has no idea or care about the damage his Shutdown is doing to the nation and its people

McConnell has to step up and do his job. Bring a bill to the floor of the Senate to open the government.

It's that simple.

Fuck Trump. He just doesn't care

Trump has not "Barricaded himself in the white house.....after that sentence there is no need to read the rest of your post....McConnell is in line with the president...he wants border security unlike you libs....

Well, looks like we'll have to cut short his nice sun tanning vacation in Puerto Rico, wining and dining with all the lobbyists and gubmint contractors.

Oh, wait....

Oh, wait....did they miss something?

Leftist "leaders" were the ones who REFUSED to come to a meeting today to discuss a compromise...THEY are the only ones holding the government hostage...we ain't in no hurry to reopen it all...fuck it. Its running just fine on a smaller scale. Let's starve them out.

.THEY are the only ones holding the government hostage...we ain't in no hurry to reopen it all...fuck it

Really?
They passed funding that would open the govt immediately.

EHRMAHGERD!....The moonbats now begging McTurtle to do something!....After all these years on dumping on the putz!

Gawd, I hope this fake shutdown goes on, and on, and on, and on....It's producing some of the best tragicomedy we've seen since 9 Nov '16!

He's the left's newest "Great White Hope", doncha know?

Trump should call a national emergency? For what? Illegal immigration is at its lowest point in 10 years.

And, drugs don't come across some faceless part of the border on the backs of illegals, they come via our regular ports of entry in trucks and cars, via paid drug mules, not some illegal immigrant they found in the caravan. Cartels like to know who they are dealing with, as well as who the mules family is, so that if the shipment doesn't make it, they can go after the person who did the transport. And, those immigrants won't know much about the USA, so how the hell would they know where to take the drugs?

Fentanyl doesn't come from Mexico, it's made in China, and comes here via planes and seaports.

As far as terrorists crossing the southern border? Out of the over 3,700 people they caught trying to enter the country who were on a suspected or terrorist watch list, only TWELVE of them crossed the southern border. The rest of them flew in on airplanes.

So, I ask again, what crisis is there on the southern border? Don't believe the hype, because Trump is conning you yet again.

Yup....there is only one way out as long as trump acts like a nine year old...McConnell needs to pass a veto proof bill.

The Idiot in Chief is not only showing the country what an incompetent child that he is....He is assuring the the GOP will lose the Senate in 2020....

With no funding to secure our borders. They know that's a nonstarter and we all know doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is insanity! President Trump invited them to the meeting they threw a fit and refused.

Cocaine Mitch knows how to play the long game.. more than any of you understand

That "long game" is going to cause a LOT of hardship...

Are you expecting a tax refund?

Do you think TSA,Border Control,ICE folks will work for free forever?

Then the dems should come home from the beaches of Puerto Rico and get to work and strike up a deal....are they incapable?.....

McConnell says that he doesn't want to waste his time sending a bill to Trump that he won't sign.

Guess McConnell forgot that if the Senate and the House pass the bill with a 2/3rds majority (and there is bipartisan support to reopen the government), it would be veto proof and we could reopen the government.

Waste his time?

What the fuck does his job description entail?

You think he's BUSY?

He passed a bill to open the government in December by a VOICE VOTE...that's veto proof

There is no such requirement. They performed their obligation. There is no requirement to negotiate funding over a shutdown. That's Trump's choice.

Hmmm.

One has already passed the House dummy.

The only way the government will be reopened is for both sides to get together and work on a deal....Trump is still waiting for the dems to show up.....
