Fake news. Republicans aren’t “digging in.” They’re the ones voting FOR funding the government.

Either way Chuckie doesn’t play well outside of his New York City crowd sorry but true. Oh and of course outside the media. He doesn’t come across well and he’s an established multi-decade politician, he is the face of the swamp and it’s pretty much what people voted against.

By “erratic, unreliable “ he means “unwilling to roll over for democrat demagoguery.” Schumer’s “jello” comment is pure projection.

The longer the Schumer Shutdown goes on, the more pain inflicted. Democratics dishing pain to America is nothing new though. Games to them. Little people’s lives matter not.

A full year would be glorious. The swamp would never recover.

The democrats prefer protecting illegal aliens rather than U.S.citizens.

". . .many lawmakers were griping about risking vacation plans and overseas trips."

The Dems planned for a showdown using the shut down as leverage. They should have known that scheduling plane flights right after the budget deadline would have been ill-considered.

It’s not even an original comment from Schmucky! I think it was Boehner, referring to Obama, who said it first. And the left thinks Schmucky is so clever.............bwahahahahaha.

Trump [is an] erratic, unreliable negotiating partner...

In other words, he doesn't roll over like he should and give us everything we are crying for.

There is no negotiating with Schumer and the dumblecrats: you either concede to their point or thats it: its your fault you won’t please them.
EFF you Schumer. In the most ugly and graphic way possible.

“Both chambers are in session Saturday — a rare weekend workday when many lawmakers were griping about risking vacation plans and overseas trips. “

Easy - you had a year to get this done. No sympathy from me and you losers are still getting paid. Get stuffed.

IIRC, Obama only produced a ‘budget’ 2 times in 8 years.

EVERYTHING else was just a CR—over & over again.

A question for all:

Has each CR continued renewing the original stimulus package? It was 750 billion I think.

Stay closed until DACA expires. Then the rats have nothing.
