If you believe the Democrats Were "Weak" and "Caved" On The Shutdown

[DigitalDrifter]

Yet another inglorious dem defeat. We're shutting down the government for some foreigners. OK, just kidding.

Trump made the congressional black caucus look like a bunch of mama's boys.

Yeah, let that sink in for a moment. These MF'ers were actually willing to **** over our men and women in the military all for a bunch of ******* illegals.

 

[BS Filter]

The democrats overplayed their hand. People are waking up and getting educated to the democrat tricks and propaganda. Both parties are corrupt, but the democrats are the worst by far. It's sickening.

I love that they're so sure about that "big blue wave" that's coming in November. They COULD be facing total devastation in November as voters remember how they opposed letting us keep more of our money and shutting down the government for foreign lawbreakers. Who knows how much more damage they can do to themselves between now and November.

 

[Desperado]

And tonight Trump is relaxing at the White House singing:
Well, I won't back down
No, I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down
No, I'll stand my ground
Won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground
And I won't back down
(I won't back down)
Hey, baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't back down)
Hey, I will stand my ground
And I won't back down
Well I know what's right
I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I'll stand my ground

How Dems Lost the Shutdown
In a stunning show of blind trust, Senate Democrats believed Mitch McConnell’s promise that they could work on an immigration overhaul in the coming weeks if they gave him the votes needed to end a government shutdown

The Shutdown Ended Because Democrats Lost Their Spine

In a stunning show of blind trust, Senate Democrats believed Mitch McConnell’s promise that they could work on an immigration overhaul in the coming weeks if they gave him the votes needed to end a government shutdown Monday.

The midday vote ended a government shutdown that began last week when Democrats demanded action on young immigrants, known as Dreamers, who were brought to the country illegally as children. After three days of stasis, the Democrats blinked first and agreed to turn the government’s lights back on with only a verbal commitment that they could try to hammer out a deal for Dreamers in the coming weeks.

“McConnell made this commitment publicly on the floor of the Senate. He was much more specific than he was last night. And I think this is an important opportunity to demonstrate that he’ll carry though,” Sen. Angus King, a Maine independent who caucuses with the Democrats, told reporters outside the Senate floor ahead of the noon vote — a vote that had been scheduled earlier, for the unusual 1 a.m. hour.

How Democrats Lost Their Spine — and the Government Shutdown

Correct, about 30 Democrats in vulnerable election states crossed over to vote with the republicans. It comes down to politics and people wanting to keep their jobs. Shutdown crying Schumer was blindsided.

Please enumerate the things the GOP gained

Respect....

Respect for a bunch of assholes that cannot keep their word? Respect for a Senate Majority Leader that objects to the military getting paid? You are out of your mind.

Watch Mitch McConnell kill effort to protect military pay as GOP pushed for shutdown

Complete bullshit. That senile old bastard cannot remember three lines, let alone that many. LOL

Remember 84% of the public is against DACA recipients being deported. Does the GOP gain ANYTHING by allowing that to happen beginning on March 5th (if they don't make a DACA deal)? No. They just make the Big Blue Wave (tm) even bigger.

I suspect business is not going to let Republicans hurt Dreamers. It's a no win situation for the GOP.

Putin may control Trump, but it's corporations that control the GOP.

Exactly why real patriots are not Republicans, nor Democrats, but rather they are Fascists.

Capitalism must be regulated, or else you get crazy immigration, and Liberalism, like we have now.

The disgusting Globalists knew the Fascists were their worst enemy, that's why they've been kicking, and scream about them ever since, even though no Fascist regime has existed for many decades.

I will be glad to support Fascists. On a rope around their necks.

And you are a lying ****. McConnell objected to continuing the pay of the military during a shut down. He, and the rest of the GOP are playing games with our military, and lying about it, just as you are.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

The Corrupt Democratic Party's support for illegal immigration is racist

 

[Old Rocks]

Spoken like a true bigot.

 

[deanrd]

They merely showed America the truth about what a bunch of losers Democrats are.

So basically, no big deal, right?

I have a completely different take.

Democrats got over 9 million sick children healthcare for six years.
You know Republicans would laugh if those kids started dying. They let CHIP expire last September just to use these children as a bargaining tool. That’s just nasty. They care only about billionaires and corporations.

And in 17 days Democrats have a stronger position
And
Those children are safe and off the table.

What did the gop gain? They humiliated the democrats.and made trump look even stronger. Lets face it, most Americans (especially the ones here) don't look past the headlines and form judgements based on that alone. Worse, if all they watch is either Fox or CNN, they are hopelessly dumbed down and misinformed. That gave the democrats the appearance of backing down.

Additionally, this has caused unrest within the republican ranks itself, to wit -:a) Schumer's shutdown performance sparks unrest in his rank, b) Winners and losers from the government shutdown and c) Dreamers Feel Betrayed After Senate Democrats Break Their Promises. Regardless of the facts, the democrats capitulating has the appearance of the dems caving in to trump. And it wasn't just Schumer who capitulated ; ACLU: ‘Too Many’ Dems Voted With GOP To Reopen Gov’t Without Fixing DACA.

Did the republicans gain anything? Don't be naive. Of course they did.

The democrats are pussies. I thought maybe they grew a pair, but they didn't. They caved yet gain to Bone Spur's demands.

Not ALL Dimocrats are willing to stop the paychecks going to our men and women in the military, in order to protect a bunch of illegals.

They gained pay for the military and federal employees. I'd say that's a win. The Democrats look foolish on this one. They were never going to win this since the DACA vote isn't due until March. There wasn't anything in the bill they disagreed with. At least they came to their senses yesterday.

 

[rightwinger]

The Democrats suck at obstructing Government

The problem is they believe Government serves a purpose
The Republican base would just as soon see Government eliminated

80% of americans believe in clean water, clean air, funding for the people of PR, fair wages, no drilling in our national parks, some regulations, a infrastructural bill, ACA, etc, etc, etc....knowing that, has it stopped Trump? Hell to the no no!!

Nope, You’re going by the samples that said Hillary Clinton would win 90% of the American public.

They successfully blamed the shutdown on democrats. That's big.
