are you telling me that you are so poorly informed that you don't know the Republicans control all 3??? sentate, house, WH...
any closure is 100% republican.
No. You are poorly informed. the senate needs 60 votes to pass the resolution. the house has passed the resolution to keep the government open for a few weeks at least, already.
Exactly. The Republicans refused to work with the Democrats on anything when they weren't in power, and they shut the government down in 2013. While one could argue that such tactics are petty, one cannot argue with the results. Because of the hardline Republican stance, they managed to win the entire government despite running a grossly unqualified orange clown for president, followed by a bunch of regressive twits down-ticket who's biggest dreams are taking American back to the 1950's or 1850's and destroying all the social safety nets so everyone is screwed.
The Republican basically proved that this tactic works and one can follow it up with victory even when presenting the worst agendas combined with useless candidates, so I don't see why anybody is shocked if the Democrats try the same thing.
that is your opinion. my opinion is the country rejected everything Obama stood for as evidenced by the 1000 plus national and state elections lost by democrats during his reign. trump didn't win because of the "hardline republican stance". he won because the country rejected progressivism, a corrupt dem presidential nominee, and business as usual in Washington.
I feel for the people who depend on those government checks arriving as scheduled in order to eat and pay their rent, but won't get that money if the government shuts down...not the agency goons inconvenienced with planning budgets.
It is at the sole discretion of the President what gets shutdown and what gets paid. That was on Obama to get people mad and create an illusion. It didn't work.
You do realize a "government shutdown" is only 17% of the government.
do liberals feel ANY liability at all with their dealings?
Do conservatives understand that not all liberals are democrats?
