shumer and pelosi know that if they can't get the illegals and the dreamers here and dependent on the welfare state, votes for their party will continue to decline. This is why chucku, little dick durbin and LSD pelosi could care less about Americans.
Hey dim's, not going to work!

Then Trump should have signed the bill that was already presented to him. So this shutdown is on him.

Its not the one expressed in your opinion.

Well if one ever wonders why our government is so dysfunctional all they have to do is read the comments from voters. This truly is on both parties, this has been a consistent issue for years and if we could simply elect decent and bipartisan people we could fix this.

However our representatives, for the most part, are about as divisive and combative as their constituents. No wonder nothing gets fixed...

What did the Dems accomplish by shutting down the gov, ?

The American people don't want a shut down.

The idea that the GOP has control is false and doesn't meet the definition of control.

Maybe you should ask Schumer why he didn't vote for it either.

Oh good lord... I feel so alone. I think I'm hyperventilating. What am I going to do without Uncle Sam's buttcheeks on my chest? Does anyone have a spare fidget spinner?

Dunno. What did the 16-day shutdown October 2013 by Republicans achieve other than being the third longest federal government shutdown ever?
