Senate Democrats on Friday night blocked passage of a month-long stopgap spending bill to keep the government funded past midnight, leaving less than two hours to find a path forward before much of the government was set to shut down.

Have you looked at Schumer's twitter page, he doubles down on supporting illegal aliens. Nothing about Americans.

Even the NYT headline is blaming the Democrats straight out at this point

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They are using this opportunity to get on the right side of the news!!!! They KNOW what is coming down the plank. It was a good opportunity to move a bit to the right!!

......”Democratic obstruction on behalf of illegal causing imminent shutdown of U.S. government at midnight”....

Now DACA illegals and others are directly affecting our military families and their kids welfare....our first responders and their kids....and on and on.

DACA is not worth any more deals....send them all back to their home countries where they and the parents who brought them here to begin with,... belong!

That will change by Morning sure they have a purpose and it is not kindness for Trump

Too late! Mulvaney has ordered an "orderly shutdown" ... Schumer Shutdown already well planned, may not need so many non-essential gov. employees when things start back up again ;)

Democratic obstruction on behalf of illegal causing imminent shutdown of U.S. government at midnight.

The main stream media wasn't hesitant about showing the video of Trump agreeing with Senator Feinstein about having a clean bill for the DACA and then showing a video of Trump walking outside of the White House saying that DACA bill must include a wall. During the last shutdown in 2013, the main stream press showed polls saying the voters blamed the Republicans more than the Democrats but they won't say that the Republicans gained House and Senate seats in 2014.

Trump’s State of the Union Address during a shutdown should be fun.

Meme'd it for you!

Who cares, ......SHUT IT DOWN......no more welfare state money pouring out of the federal treasury into the bank accounts of Democrat freeloaders? Great, SHUT IT DOWN!

That’s a good one. So true.

Somehow this brought back a memory of Nancy Pelosi telling us to “embrace the suck.”

These just HAVE to be pod people George Soros dropped off from Planet WTF.

I just tried to post a thread from Time magazine because it was so bad. It’s allowed here but for some reason, I can’t copy and paste the article...you have to watch an anti-Trump video before you can read the disgusting article about (yet more) illegals DEMANDING rights:

Trump, the Chess Master, sets up the Democrat Party for failure. Not providing for funds to pay the military and first responders is something American voters will surely remember come Election day in November, 2018. Democrat, Chuck Schumer, overreaches and sets up the Democrat Party for massive losses in the Mid-Term elections later this year.

Democrats continue in self-inflicted political destruction mode. And...Obama on the campaign trail can only be topped by an annoucement that Hillary Clinton will actively campaign for Democrat candidates this fall......LMAO, on both counts. How dumb can these Democrats be...evidently pretty darn dumb, to say the least.

Dan...post this great tidbit as a “vanity” on free Republic, so all Freepers (Free Republic) will have access to it. As a matter of fact, Dan....my boy, post it on all the social, political networks. A grand piece, young man!!! “BRAVO”!!!

I think not much of a coincidence with news the Memo being released, the Democrats choose to do this. They know they are screwed, so will do anything to change the subject. Disgusting people.
