It seems we were unprepared for the scope of their backlash, and it's heartbreaking because we made so damn much progress in the previous 8 years....

Mulvaney is making facts fit ideology

bipartisan deal.

Trump Trainwreck?

Is talking points.

😅

WTF did they do that? i wanted to hear the truth and instead got lying rw partisan spin, such garbage!!!

To hold off the Briefing while McConnell was speaking and then to walk out when Durbin came up. These jackasses have absolutely no capacity to run the country, but are absolute experts in this bulshit partisan jackassery politics.

the oligarchs are taking over everything and caused a government shutdown rather than allow 800,000 hard working Dreamers to stay here.

"Shutdown" means there is no money authorized to carry out governmental activities or procurements. The job of authorizing such funding falls on Congress. Congress is completely controlled by the GOP, which sets the schedules for hearings, markups, debates, and floor votes.

Instead, Congress preferred to spend half the year trying to repeal the ACA, 1/3rd of the year trying to hurl $1.5 trillion dollars over to their wealthy benefactors, and the other 1/3rd of the year on recess vacationing or on overseas junkets while avoiding their constitutents. They didn't care about "governing" or carrying out the duties laid out for them in the Constitution.

We need to repeat this. Their party is in control, the shutdown is their problem

White House budget chief Mick Mulvaney on Thursday defended the Trump administration’s proposed deep cuts to social welfare programs such as Meals on Wheels and after-school services, saying it’s unfair to taxpayers if such programs don’t show hard results.
Mulvaney described the budget blueprint, which calls for dramatic cuts to domestic spending programs in favor of increased funding for the military, as “one of the most compassionate things we can do.”

It was the black guy's fault.

BTW I'm pretty sure it was Ted Cruz who pushed us into the shutdown.

I wish someone would show me one instance in this century when Dems have refused to fund govt. operations.

how god damn childish are these fuckers. I know it's rhetorical.
On another note: What the fuck does the 2013 shutdown have to do with what is going on now? I want action now, not a recap of the 2013 shutdown. Shakes head......
