Trump is to blame because he told congress to come up with a solution and he would sign it, and when they did he cursed and used vulgarity and refused to keep his word. The GOP is to blame for not accepting their responsibilities and authority under the constitution and letting a weak, double-dealing liar in the White House make law.
You put illegal immigrants on a pedestal and you take a dump on the American people and you want us to blame the other side!
Since when did Democrats care about oaths or enforcing the laws of this nation? Let alone American citizens? They ARE likely to play this game and harm Americans in order to help foreign criminals. And you can count on our mainstream media to lie, spin and distort the truth and blame Republicans for the Democrats decision to put criminals first. This has been going on for years.
Trump the Republican Wolf has been protecting and furthering the interests of Homeland , Russian ,and other foreign Criminals FOR decades.
When did calling the facts about a situation irrelevant become a valid excuse? I’m at a loss. Instead of looking at the entirety of the situation as a whole and realizing there is plenty of blame to go around to everyone involved, your bias runs so deep you can’t evrn recognize the facts of the situation at hand.
I cannot wrap my head around this level of willful ignorance.
The wall (and DACA) have absolutely no bearing on this spending bill... can you point to a single point of contention from the Democrats?
Schumer and Co gambled they could extort a DACA deal... The Schumer Shutdown it's going to bite them in the ass hard.
Harvard's Poll is accurate, and reflects the NY Times, AP's, etc., headlines. /shrug
#SchumerShutdown
"A national ABC News/Washington Post poll released before Friday night's outcome found 48% of those surveyed said they would blame Trump and the GOP while 28% would blame Democrats. Another survey by Quinnipiac University national poll found 32% would blame Republicans, 21% Trump and 34% Democrats."
They are all to blame and like someone said this morning they need to pass a law that removes the government shutdown. This will prevent the American people from suffering when the babies running the government will not work together.
If they worked for a business or company the majority of them would be looking for another job.
"Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) introduced a resolution that would have secured pay for service members, noting that Trump has been trying to divide the country by invoking the military and putting the blame on Democrats if they were to go unpaid in the event of a shutdown. She then said, “I don’t want one moment to pass with there being any uncertainty of any soldier anywhere in the world that they will be paid for the valiant work they do on behalf of our national security.”
Despite widespread concern for the issue amongst both Democratic and Republican voters, Republican leadership didn’t show any regard for protecting military pay as they moved to shut down the government. McConnell quickly objected to McCaskill’s resolution — and instead left military pay up in the air along with the other casualties of his party’s decision to grind the federal government to a halt."
That's what I consider disgusting...
My disgust is bipartisan. Neither party voted in any significant numbers to continue to pay our military. I think they all couldn't care less about the military and their families. But they sure do care about their own pay and benefits.
Meanwhile, our military personnel, who actually ARE protecting and defending our society, have to go without paychecks - while Congress just keeps on getting paid.
As a rule, That should never happen. That should be enough incentive to pass a budget regardless of what is not in it.

You are not kidding. THEY should get paid and our congressmen and senators should NOT get paid till they pull their act together. Now THAT would be some incentive to work together.
