Politics divides us too much

Good luck with that.

It's a fact.

Held to the same standard as the 2013 Republican led shutdown, where Republicans at least held the House as opposed to Democrats that hold no chamber... the Democrats are to blame, they should not be using the threat of government shutdown to extort policy changes and they will be humiliatingly defeated.

If you asked the Democrats just a few years ago...or even a few months ago, they would have agreed.

I'm saying this in all honesty... not as a rib, or a gotcha, or to be demeaning.

In all honesty, your TDS has affected your judgement.

Based on historically similar shutdown opinions, the Dems are 100% in the wrong here.

I am not talking about, about previous shutdowns. There is a real shutdown presently going on, the getting healthcare for illegal aliens is not part of the Democrat proposal position. You are chasing a red herring of the MAGA Right, known to be a false talking point.
If you saying you simply want the Dems to fail, as you did not like their positions on previous shutdowns, republicans held responsible for, or just hate Dems in general, as committed to party and easier to let higher up MAGA work with policy, I understand, whether agreeing with it or not. But, my position is that pending legislation should be considered in terms of reality, not false taking points.

Thoughts From an Independent

A friend of mine spent many hours organizing a high school class reunion last year, only to have it fall apart because of bitter infighting over politics by his former classmates.

2 of my family members won't be attending our Thanksgiving dinner, because of political disagreements.

At the grocery store I recently watched a shoving match that nearly became a fistfight, all over a provocative political bumper sticker.

A small political rally in my town last November resulted in a number of injuries when a group of folks in the streets were pelted with rocks by passing motorists.

The sad thing about this is these are not isolated events, but now things that go on all over the country with alarming frequency, and while the TV networks (on both sides) don't openly encourage this behavior, they certainly don't discourage it either!

I used to watch the evening news (both FOX and CNN) Now the TV stays off, in favor of long walks and an hour or 2 playing and studying chess before going to bed.

Politics divides us too much, I think.

Hillary turned it into blood sport

'Sin' can be fun

'Sin' can be fun

True, but it's also destructive to one's soul sort of like how getting drunk is fun but it too is destructive to one's self.

Religion is fine as long as it's not a "Death Cult" like so many of them are.

The Jewish religion was founded as a rebellion to the Egyptian Death Cult. And it was. Bigly. Big Time Death Cult.

Christianity was, at one time, just a sect of Judaism. Over the millennia, superstitious old curmudgeons and blowhards have tried to turn it into just another Death Cult. Make people afraid, it's the best way to control them. It works. Just ask dimocrap scum and any other totalitarian dictator. It works. I was born into Christianity and there I remain.

This is the last post I will make on this topic. Good luck to you and best wishes.

Works for me. Except the peaches--they don't grow well here.

Remember the last CR earlier this year?
Schumer caved and now AOC is going to run against him for his seat.

The Marxist/socialist wing of the party went nuts.

That's what's driving this shutdown, Schumer is fighting for his life.

Let's break that down.

The Democrats ARE demanding federal reimbursement for illegal immigrants healthcare that are now being shifted to the states.

That is a fact.

 

[Delldude]

This whole argument is so bogus.

' illegals can't get Medicaid '

All an illegal has to do is go to the ER and they'll be treated and Medicaid will pickup the tab.

 

[Concerned American]

The Democrats ARE demanding federal reimbursement for illegal immigrants healthcare that are now being shifted to the states.

And therein lies the sticking points for democrats. LOL. Sanctuary status and increased illegal immigration places responsibility for these costs squarely WHERE IT SHOULD BE---on the blue states that created the problem.

 

[Rawley]

A. I don't use that word, so you're lying. What a shock.
B. You people use awful words yourselves, so you're no better than those you despise.

You are the problem, and you are dismissed. Play with someone else.

You think calling us "fascists" is a less divisive?

 

[Missourian]

And therein lies the sticking points for democrats. LOL. Sanctuary status and increased illegal immigration places responsibility for these costs squarely WHERE IT SHOULD BE---on the blue states that created the problem.

And that's the point. If your state wants to shelter illegals and villainize ICE for just doing their job ... don't turn around and demand the Federal government underwrite the lawlessness you condone.

You want illegals to bolster your states representation in Congress ... then you're going to have to underwrite those extra costs on your own.

But the MSM is straight up lying about this ... even when they almost broach the truth, they still run cover for Democrats ...

Hakeem Jeffries confronted on CNN about Medicaid funding for 'noncitizens'

CNN host Jake Tapper confronted House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries about Medicaid funding for "noncitizens" on Wednesday as the lawmaker argued they were trying to save healthcare.

The real damage is done to we conservatives in these blue shit holes. We have no voice and we end up footing a large share of the bill. WA has pulled this off in the past couple years. The state has decided that our depressed corner of the state isn't paying our fair share of property taxes and they are currently reassessing properties. The value on my place has increased for tax purposes by nearly 30% in the past two years and I have made no improvements and there have been no sales. Commie democrats have a strangle hold on WA worse than CA.

Here's a shocker --


DOUBLE DOWN

Dems stand by VA candidate who fantasized about shooting GOP colleague​

Politics doesn't divides us ENOUGH.

I want nothing to do with scum of the Earth dimocrap FILTH.

I mean...... Children? Babies? Baby Children and this ************ wants them dead?

You back dimocraps, you suck. You ARE the problem. A piece of shit like this couldn't exist with YOUR votes, your help.

May all dimocrap scum voters rot in Hell
