This is what it come down to- democrats are siding with illegal aliens over American soldiers. They would starve the US military for those who do not belong in this country.
democrats, led by Schmuck Schumer, are willing to shut down the government and halt pay for the Armed Forces if Republicans do not agree to amnesty for illegal aliens (read that as “future voters”). The House passed a short term spending bill but democrats are blocking it in the Senate, holding fast for non-Americans. ( I think it was Bob Grant who coined the phrase “Schmuck Schumer”)
The Trump administration has promised not to weaponize the shutdown, if it occurs, as the obama administration did.
White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said Friday that if the government shuts down, it won’t be as bad as 2013 because former President Obama’s administration did things to make it worse.
Mulvaney said “the Obama administration weaponized the shutdown in 2013” for political purposes by closing popular attractions like national parks. He claimed the Trump administration isn’t planning to do the same.
“We’re going to manage the shutdown differently, we’re not going to weaponize it,” the budget director told reporters at the White House. “We’re not going to try and hurt people, especially people who work for the federal government.”
democrats believe the shutdown is in their favor, but it is an unpopular stance:
Voters overwhelmingly oppose the Democrats’ threat to shut down the government unless the GOP provides an amnesty to roughly 3 million illegals, according to a new poll by Rasmussen. “Just 27% agree with Senate Minority Whip [Sen.] Dick Durbin’s call for a government shutdown to force a congressional decision on the Dreamers question separate from the border security issue,” said Rasmussen Reports. “Twice as many (55%) oppose a government shutdown for this reason. Seventeen percent (17%) are undecided.”
The shutdown threat is backed by only 26 percent of blacks, 35 percent of Democrats, 21 percent of moderates, 37 percent of people who earn more than $200,000, 23 percent of post-graduates, and 31 percent of people who strongly disapprove of President Donald Trump’s policies.
But the shutdown threat is opposed by 58 percent of blacks, 49 percent of Democrats, 42 percent of liberals, and 63 percent of people who earn from $30,000 to $63,000.
Trump promised to seize upon this as an election issue should it happen:
President Donald Trump warned Friday morning that a looming government shutdown could be brought on by Senate Democrats who he said “want illegal immigration and weak borders.”
As a prescription against future Congressional impasses, the president called on voters to hand him even larger Republican majorities in next November’s midterm elections.
“Government Funding Bill past [sic] last night in the House of Representatives,” Trump wrote on Twitter Friday morning. “Now Democrats are needed if it is to pass in the Senate – but they want illegal immigration and weak borders. Shutdown coming? We need more Republican victories in 2018!”
democrats are, inherently, hypocrites full of crap. This is what Schmuck Schumer had to say back in 2013 about holding up a budget for immigration concerns:
Democrats said they would not support another government funding measure unless a DACA deal is struck, a notable shift from Democrats in the past. In 2013, during the debt ceiling negotiations, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called the legislative strategy of tying immigration reform to budgetary matters—and threatening to shut down the government in the process—as a path that would breed “governmental chaos.”
Pelosi called this kind of maneuver “legislative arson.”
This has become, as obama might say, a sh*tshow, but make no mistake. This is the Schmuck Schumer Sh*thole Shutdown.
Liberals also making as much noise as they can to drown out coming earthquake.
