Yesterday Democrats admitted their goal is to shut down the government in an effort to use the move against Republicans for the 2018-midterm elections.
JUST IN: Democrats have enough votes to block the spending bill in the Senate and prevent Republicans from keeping the government up and running, senior Democratic aide tells @NBCNews— NBC Politics (@NBCPolitics) January 18, 2018
Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein issued a dire warning Thursday evening that a government shutdown will lead to people dying (not true) and other terrible things.
"Shutting down the government is a very serious thing. People die, accidents happen. You don't know. Necessary functions can cease," Feinstein told CNN. "There is no specific list you can look at and make a judgment: 'Well everything is going to be just fine.' You can't make that judgment. So, I think it's a last resort. And I'm really hopeful we don't get to it."
That claim is interesting, considering she doesn't know yet whether she will vote to keep the government open.
“I don’t know how I would vote right now on a CR, OK?” she said in the same interview.
If people really are going to die as a result of the pending shutdown, you'd think she'd know by now how important her decision is. Instead, her politically motivated posturing and demagoguery on the issue just became extremely transparent.
Meanwhile, Budget Director Mick Mulvaney called Democrats on their bluff this morning at the White House and President Trump has asked Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for a meeting this afternoon.
"OMB is preparing for what we're calling the Schumer Shutdown. It still surprises me, and I've been through some of these before, that Democrats are opposing a bill they don't oppose. They are for clean CRs, they are for the extension of the CHIP program. They don't oppose anything in the bill, but they are opposing the bill," Mulvaney said. "We do not want a shutdown, but if Mr. Schumer wants this, he is in a position to inflict this on the American people."

You first.
Democrat lie piled upon democrat lie.
May she die first.
Well DiFi you don’t seem to have a problem with killing unborn children now do you?
The Democrat Thug Party.
She’s a liberal, so of course not
Disgusting protector of child rape, child organ selling,
treason, sedition, leaks, .... but she had cold.
There’s a special tier in Hell for Dems/Leftists/Marxists/Progressives/Globalists.
Hmmm...... might?
Do I detect wavering from Democrat solidarity?
I predict that at least 10,000 people will die during this shutdown.
Read all about it in the obituaries.
Pardon the dumb question, but does this resolution require 51 votes to pass, or 60? How is it that the Dems have the votes to block it.?
Just another example of democrats putting party over the people they (supposedly) represent.
But, with DACA they’ll have an endless supply of democrat “voters” (read: Neuvo-slaves) to serve as back ups.
Where’s the
‘If it can save one life....’ attitude? Di Fi ?
Of course people will did after the government shuts down. People will die after the government opens up. People will die if the government remains open. DieFie is not a goddess who can prevent people from dying or bring them back to life once they are dead, I wish she would get off her self-important goddess kick.
They all died already..
The ones that lived through the ending of net neutrality died when the tax cuts were pasted.
60...
or.. the turtle could suspend the rule.
McTurtle doesn’t have all the Republicans lined up behind this either, which provides some covering fire for the DIMS.
Female Forrest Gump?
