I called terrorists

You called politicians who represent half the country and who merely want a bill that includes policies they support "terrorists"

that is completely insane

Im glad that no one is actually falling for this Democrats are fucking over kids healthcare rhetoric other than the types who blame everything on Democrats anyway.

Sure they are. Just depends on where you get your news. If you get it from a liberal outlet, you blame the Republicans for this. If you get it from a Republican source, you blame Democrats for it. You likely just know democrats.

but what did she have to say about her 9 co-workers that tried sneaking a fake bomb onto a plane?

It's an amazing political fact that regardless of which party is in power or which party refuses to vote Yes to continue funding the government, it's the Republicans who are at fault

you should go back to posting about phones, it's the only thing you're decent at

You do realize that a spending bill requires 60 votes and it was the democrats that weren't willing to vote on one out of spite for Republicans.

You do realize this is Fake News right?

If you actually knew anything about how congress operates, you'd know if there wasn't a 60 vote requirement the law would've been signed.

Then again "republicans have the majority, they can rewrite the constitution"

A lot of democrats are being disingenuous and are acting like Republicans couldn't have passed it if it we're a simple majority. They also are acting like Republicans are trying to kill CHIP when Republicans added it in this Budget Resolution and democrats voted against it hard in the House and also killed it in the Senate.

You're aware that they let CHIP expire months ago when they could have renewed it then?

No, you don't make any sense. And you support traitors who are selling out our country to a foreign power.

I'm still curious why people act like this is the Republicans' doing when the budget would have passed if Democrats wouldn't filibuster the plan

Also, I don't know why people are acting like a continuing resolution only needs a majority to pass. You need 60 votes.

Like Schumer said, not one democrat was involved in the crafting of the CR. If you want 60 votes, you have to let both sides have a seat at the table

So Democrats were mad they didn't get DACA, so they decided to filibuster the plan.

But it's the Reps' fault they did that, because how dare they not want amnesty for 800,000 illegal immigrants and their parents

something that needs bipartisan support to pass certainly should have bipartisan negotiation, right?

The republicans literally control everything right now. They are at fault

The republicans only have 50 members in the senate right now and require 60 for a budget. But I guess lifelong democrats can't understand how the budget actually works and will proceed to side with their own party when they shutdown the government and cause children to die as a result.

Republicans couldn't even get 50 votes on their side. They purposely postponed a solution to daca and chip for this very day to blame democrats and its backfiring.

DACA is not just a "pathway to citizenship", it's amnesty. You know you're being dishonest here; why even post this?

Is the public aware that the Dems' plan includes giving renewable legal status to all the parents of "dreamers"?

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/01/11/democrats-daca-dreamers-immigration-mutiny-334454

To address conservative concerns about chain migration, the senators are proposing that undocumented parents who brought a child to the United States illegally would not be able to access a pathway to citizenship based on being sponsored by their children, said Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.). But the parents of Dreamers would be able to obtain a three-year provisional legal status that could be renewed, Flake said.

So this isn't even a plan to help kids who were brought over. This is just a slimy way for Democrats to import as many voters as possible.

White House budget director: 'Kind of cool' to be in charge of government shutdown https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/20/politics/mick-mulvaney-government-shutdown-kind-of-cool/

I mean, the title is not really indicative of what is in the article:

62% say it is extremely or very important for Congress to pass immigration law that will address the Dreamers.
Admittedly this doesn't mean that they're in favor of them staying, but it does put a wrench in your claim from most other topics where you say that most people care about the economy more than other issues because of -
Voters think this is more important than passing new health care (58 percent important) or tax reform legislation (52 percent).

But it matters not, because right below that is the following:
Today, overwhelming majorities favor granting work permits (86 percent favor vs. 12 percent oppose) and U.S. citizenship (79-19 percent) to illegal immigrants under the age of 30 brought here as children, provided they pass a background check.

The poll finds a record-high 83 percent of voters support setting up a system for all illegal immigrants who are currently working in the country to become legal residents, up nine points since last year. Just 14 percent say deport as many as possible, down from a high of 30 percent in July 2015.

There is rare partisan agreement on all fronts.

And then there's this gem:
Moreover, 63 percent of Trump voters favor granting Dreamers citizenship.



Or this one:

Setting up a system to legalize undocumented immigrants working in the U.S. also receives bipartisan support: most Democrats (95 percent legalize vs. 4 percent deport), Republicans (69-28 percent) and independents (82-13 percent) want legalization to happen.

Here's a fun experiment

Stop being pawns of the DNC and GOP and realize that what they say and what they do are entirely different. They're all a bunch of scummy self serving, grandstanding scumbags.

The longer we keep allowing them to win us over with their "our side is less wrong" bullshit, the longer we'll have to deal with shit like this.

Well this topic exploded.
