The facts were not on the Democrats side. Logically, Trump had nothing to do with this shutdown, and ok, even if we want to play their grame and say he was behind it, ok, then shouldn’t it just keep going on then? Nothing with Trump has changed, clearly this was a big misplay for the Dems and I’m sure some of the more rank and file members wanted this over.

All Schumer was promised was a vote and floor time. Either way, whatever the Dems come up with, it’s not passing the House. They did polling over the weekend which showed them getting killed over it. Schumer blinked.

Why does everione refer to “Dreamers” when this is just about kids who were brought here illegally-——in other words,DACA,——nothing to do with the millions of others.

I keep hearing Democrats say the shutdown is about “lots of issues.” Translation: “The shutdown is about illegal immigration & we’ve realized it’s massively unpopular to prioritize interests of illegal immigrants & foreigners over American citizens.”

Some idiot leftist judge issued some kind of order staying the President’s DACA move. The administration has taken it directly to the Supreme Court. Then we have idiot CEOs of major corporations like Wells Fargo who are lobbying to keep DACA and make it law. Infuriating.

Some people suspect Democrats want to legalize DACA “kids” because they think they’ll vote Democrat. If you’re not certain why they think that, it’s because they assume that anyone who is still a “kid” at 36 has got to be a Democrat.

This is a heads up!! I think we just got screwed by the Rino. What did McConnell actually agree to?? look at this!! Schumer has said today ‘ we get a vote on DACA if there is no immigration deal by Feb 8” . Do you understands what that means? That is a delinking of DACA with the wall!! That means we just lost ALL OF OUR LEVERAGE!! Trump must immediately excoriate that as irresponsible!! The DEMS now vote “no” on our demands and then get a stand alone vote on DACA?? You can’t make up how stupid that is.. WAKE UP!!Trump must denounce this NOW!! We got screewed by the RINO!! This was intended sabotage by these rino bastards. IT SHALL NOT STAND!!

Yup. Lots of crocodile tears.

Oh, and Dems hate children and prevented needed insurance for babies and children... Republicans played this pretty well and set the Democrats up with this issue. Republicans need to learn how to fight mean and nasty.

DAPA has already been ruled illegal.
DAPA was based on DACA.
I don’t see how the SCOTUS could force the President to continue an illegal program.

The Demoncraps ship of state was going South so fast on Chuck the Schmuck that he said the word “ bi-partisan” many times in his conciliatory Senate surrender speech on Monday.

Last Friday I bet the President told the Schmuck to bend over and wait for the kick in the ass he was about to get from the people!

When the Schmuck saw that size 14 Military boot winding up for a launch at the Shmuck’s copious arse, he quivered, whimpered and scampered back into his Senate Orifice hidey hole.

And today he was ALL bipartisan. What a douche-bag!

I have not been a fan of Brit Hume, but his tweets have really become conservative in the last month or so.

He’s really been going after the shenanigans going on with the Deep State, and today, he tweeted a couple of good observations on the Democrat’s shutdown...

&brithume 3 hours ago:

“Let’s be clear about what the Democrats tried to do here. They wanted to tie DACA to the government funding bill so they could save DACA in exchange for funding govt. instead of later having to agree to a lot of border security measures to protect DACA on a separate bill.”

@brithume 2 hours ago:

“I doubted it was possible, but Dems have actually lost a shutdown fight. Schumer has agreed to end the filibuster in exchange for practically nothing. Make no mistake: Schumer & Dems caved. What a political fiasco.”

This shutdown has been well played by the President.

He knew months ago when he put DACA back in the laps of Congress (where it belongs) that it would coincide with the budget.

He baited them into a corner of choosing illegals over our military/citizens/children’s health while the entire voting country watches.

Brilliant!
