Democrats have successfully blocked the government’s 2018 budget for another month, giving them more time to exhaust and frustrate President Donald Trump and GOP leaders into accepting the Democrats’ game-winning amnesty for millions of illegals.
Late Tuesday, the GOP gave up on budget talks and drafted a new temporary budget plan, dubbed a Continuing Resolution, which would keep the government open for another month until February 16. That date will mark almost five months after the 2018 budget was slated to begin October 1.
If the CR passes the House and Senate, the GOP and the Democrats will get another month to develop a full year’s budget while Democrats gain another month to wear down GOP and Trump opposition to their amnesty-plus plan via top-level talks.
The Democrats’ negotiations tactics include emotional public claims of racism, televised sob stories from migrants, skewed polls, as well as intense back-room lobbying by illegal immigrants, open-borders advocates and by the CEOs whose stock-options would be reduced if a shortage of labor drives up wages.

How did Dick Durbin’s best friend Linda Grahamnesty (Lindsey Graham ) vote on it?
Trump is doing his fake news awards while this crap is going on. Nuke the filibuster now!
Have not heard a single word from Ryan or McConnell pretty much since New Years. These are real leaders.
Defeat the CR. We are tired of running. Get a damned spine!! Give us the wall or shut it down like was promised!!
Deport
All
Children (of Illegal)
Aliens
FECKLESS REPUBLIturds!!! That’s how!!
Where are McConnell and Ryan? They don’t support border security.
This is crazy! Budget considerations should be separate from catering to illegal aliens/immigrants from enemy nations.
Trump needs to do a speech about this. He needs to read the DNC memo about how DACA will win the democrats elections in the future. (Can’t find it immediately)
He needs to talk straight to the American people and let them know, democrats have lied again and will be responsible for the government shut down. They don’t care about America. They don’t care about the poor. They don’t want more jobs. They don’t want tax cuts. They want to be re-elected. THAT IS IT!
The enemy can always count on the GOP to cave.
NEVER thought I’d say it, but I’m starting to despise the gop
How can the Dems block a budget? Isn’t a simple majority vote ok to pass a budget??? I may need to be re educated in how gubermint works, unless the Pubic RINOS voted no.

Starting? Where have you been. The stupid party has been a sniveling, cowardly shitshow for decades. Being an independent and conservative, I dislike pubbies almost as much as the dems, which is why I support individuals, not a rag-tag bureaucracy of opportunists masquerading as a political party.
The Dems are NOT going to shut down the gov’t now? I am so disappointed!
Which shows just how much of a part the President plays in this budget process I guess.
All this yelling and screaming by Conservatives / Republicans here isn’t doing any good. If all the bellyachers would get to their emails, Twitter accounts and phones to their respective Congressional representatives and local Republican Headquarters, MORE can be accomplished. Did any one of you think this was going to be EASY???????? This is another attempted political ambush by the DAMNOCRATS...........advance TOWARD the fire!!!!
