US Government Shutdown

[PHATV]

Do the Republicans need just 51 votes to pass a budget? I thought it was 60.

You are correct. They are just regurgitating talking points and don't know what the hell they are talking about. The 'pubs can't pass it on their own in the senate.

Shut it down and keep it down... Who gives a fuck

The truth is that the GOP has enough control to pass this on their own, without needing any Democrats.

Somebody needs an 8th-grade civics class. Hint: it's you.

That's a hilarious response that just reeks of biased desperation.

The truth is that the GOP has enough control to pass this on their own, without needing any Democrats. The Democrats should of course try to exert influence and get something they want out of negotiations, but they aren't even in a position where they should be able to get anything so the loop could be closed before they even got their say. It's just that Trump doesn't seem capable of getting his own party to support him.

Any rational person would look for a leader to get support from his own before starting to look to the opposing party to support him. We all know that both sides do their best to vote against the other. You probably just don't want to do that since that would make you have to say something negative about Trump and the Republicans.

So you’re not aware that there are not 60 Republicans.

US politicians have stopped working.

How long did it take you guys to notice?

Ah, I got some faulty information and didn't double check my source. My bad. Unlike many WR posters I'm not scared of admitting when I'm wrong and I clearly was here.

Like other shutdowns, a bill was introduced that would continue all pay and benefits for the military. Mitch opposed it.

Watch this video, and try to open your mind for once.

No apology for the personal insults you hurled tho....

 

[RockstarChris]

got some recent undercover footage of the discussions being had at the moment

I am not sure how any neutral observer can't call this as the fault of the GOP/Trump.
The issue is sort of 50:50 I can see both sides argument. I would be in favor of the Democrat site but I do get the GOP site.

But the GOP/Trump control all 3 branches. You are in charge you take the blame.
It's not like parts of both sites weren't willing to do a deal. Which if handled correctly would have prevented this.
This has got to be considered the fault of the persons in charge.

Meh. I’ll get a small holiday out of this and get backpay for it unless it drags on for longer than 2 weeks (which it shouldn’t).

Tax payers shall pay for our absence because congress are dicks...

You're a huge piece of shit.

Dont be a moocher, then its not an issue....

What do people think happens when the government shuts down? Half my office cant work now, most of them need that money to survive. My ex wife and mother to my kid isnt working now, luckily his HC is through me. Then all the services offered by these agencies are also effected...

The GOP does not care about the poor, neither do I clearly. I thought the Dems did tho

It's pretty funny that you want an apologize for behavior that you have yourself.

But I'm sorry I was mean to you.

 

[44nutman]

Do you understand how dumb it sounds when you’re trying to convince people that it’s Trumps fault that 44 Democrats decides to vote against a budget they don’t even disagree with.

I am sorry your man crush is a terrible leader. Good leaders get shit done.
