Democrat Representative Collin Peterson admits that the only reason Pelosi is digging in her heels is because "Nancy doesn’t want to give [President Trump] a win.”

Maybe the shutdown is God’s punishment for electing Trump.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde
“And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence” ― Bertrand Russell

Originally posted by One Bad Pig View PostYou have no idea what "compromise" means, do you? The Democrats are also not getting what they want. Why are they shutting the government down and hurting the country? As a reminder, the constitutional process for funding is "congress proposes, the president disposes." Congress needs to provide a funding bill the president, as is his constitutional prerogative, will accept.

Originally posted by JimL View PostAnd the democrats didn't choose to shut down the government over it, Trump did. And no, we have 3 co-equal branches of government, and though it seems you republicans would like it to be so, the President is not the King."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

Originally posted by JimL View PostNope, but it does mean that he isn't going to get whatever he wants by abusing his power and shutting down the government."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

Originally posted by JimL View PostNo, Obama care was already law, so republicans were defunding existing law in order to try and undermine it. The Wall is not law, it's what is being negotiated.
Democrats are never wrong and no matter what, Republicans are guilty, no matter what.
Thanks for showing how much of a hack you are. Couldn’t have done it without you. In reality land, nothing Trump is doing is against the law or wrong. You just don’t like it because you’re a robot that says whatever his masters tell him."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.
