AP: Trump says he won’t negotiate to end the shutdown

[Meister]

If the shutdown is hurting Americans, why aren’t Republicans doing anything to help?

They voted for the CR, your ilk is playing politics.

 

[j-mac]

We all know that they’re capable of negotiating before then.

We don’t have to negotiate before it’s passed. It’s a clean CR. Just quit being children and pass it so we can move on…

You’re still going on about “illegals”? I thought they dropped that talking point weeks ago when people actually read what Dems were proposing.

Yes, they’ve read it. Have you?

Here’s a couple of gems….

• $24.6M to "climate resilience" in Honduras
• $13.4M to "civic engagement" in Zimbabwe
• $3.9M to "LGBTQI+ democracy grants" in the Balkans
• $2.9M to "desert locust reduction" in Africa
• $2M to "organizing for feminist democratic principles" in Africa

And democrats are cracking….

Thus far, democrats have offered no proposals

They are asking for a meeting during which proposals can be negotiated. trump is saying capitulate, then we'll talk.

What a coincidence that an obstinate clown is prez while a record is set for the length of a shutdown.

What reason is there for Dem's to believe there will be an honest negotiation with the orange messiah after the government re-opens?

 

[hadit]

Imagine all that negotiation that could have been done by now.

You'd think that Schumer would have proposed something by now.

And what do Republicans want?

What they've already passed. Schumer wants changes, he should propose what he wants, and be willing to not insist on all or nothing. Get the government open again, then if people really want subsidies extended, make a deal.

 

[M14 Shooter]

You were very careful not to mention that this is a 10 year estimate. Very slick.
You want people to think Democrats just slapped 1.5 trillion for this fiscal year.

Your attempt to change the subject does not in any way address the fact Democrats will not vote for anything that does ot add $1.5T to the debt.
Fact is, you refuse to address this.

It's not a coincidence at all. It happened because your Assassination Party is completely irrational and has lost their collective minds.

Schumer is saying give us everything before we open the government.

Schumer is in the minority, he should make his proposal.

 

[struth]

If the shutdown is hurting Americans, why aren’t Republicans doing anything to help?

They are, they have passed 15x now, a bill to reopen it

 

[Marener]

Bring it up in the Federal Budget where it's supposed to be,

There is no federal budget and there’s no reason not to bring it up now.

 

[j-mac]

Imagine all that negotiation that could have been done by now.

What a stupid comment.

And what do Republicans want?

Pass the CR, DUMMY.

 

[hadit]

There is no federal budget and there’s no reason not to bring it up now.

Except for the fact that they're going to start starving people.

 

[berg80]

It's not a coincidence at all. It happened because your Assassination Party is completely irrational and has lost their collective minds.

It happened because trump refuses to negotiate.

 

[hadit]

It happened because trump refuses to negotiate.

It happened because Schumer started a filibuster. Change my mind.

 

[j-mac]

There is no federal budget and there’s no reason not to bring it up now.

Do you believe we should operate without a budget forever?

 

[j-mac]

It happened because trump refuses to negotiate.

Liar.

 

[hadit]

Do you believe we should operate without a budget forever?

He doesn't want to admit this isn't the time or place to craft a new budget, so will accept anything else to allow for that.

 

[Lockback]

It happened because trump refuses to negotiate.

Tell your party to grow up and stop being crybabies.

 

[Marener]

They voted for the CR, your ilk is playing politics.

That failed. Apparently they’re all out of ideas?

 

[hadit]

That failed. Apparently they’re all out of ideas?

Schumer proposed no compromise whatsoever.

 

[Marener]

Do you believe we should operate without a budget forever?

It’s not Dems fault there wasn’t a budget process this year.
