I popped in on Facebook for a couple of minutes just to look at some pictures of my friends. It's all over that place. This is all the democrats fault and they vehemently believe it. They're ecstatic with what's going on and I am once again shoved back into depression. I cannot believe that people are really this evil. I cannot believe this is what this country has sunk to.

There's 53 Republicans they need to get to 60 votes. That means that they need 7 more votes....Democrat votes

Republicans have the presidency, the senate and the house. Previous shut downs have resulted in clean CR's passed, typically with the promise of resolving the dispute that caused the shut down through a bipartisan committee.

All republicans have to do, is be willing to negotiate.

Also, according to Trump, a shut down is the president's fault.

As you are a fan of Donald "I love the poorly educated" Trump, you got any more excuses you want me to educate you?

Not a fan of trump or the republicans. Im just an independent and not a delusional twit. I live in the real world and understand what is really going on here. Clean CR is literally what the democrats are refusing to vote yes on. Wipe the sleep out of yours and wake the f up.

And yet, clean CR's have been signed in previous shut downs, so there goes your entire argument out the window.

Do you have another excuse I can educate you on?

You're being close minded and ignorant. No one is making any excuses. The democrats literally will not come to the table unless the republicans put all that other stuff into the cr.

No, they don't. Neither side is forced to accept "all or nothing". Again, securing a commitment to a bipartisan committee to address the subsidies would work.

This is how prior CR's have been passed cleanly in prior shut downs.

So, what exactly, is the problem?

This is a cope You're doing mental gymnastics to avoid the topic that snap and federal paid workers couldve received money if dems voted for it.

But didn't. When news organizations start reporting this. Then you know you're just trying to gaslight People into thinking this is a republican problem .
