After Democratic lawmakers’ years of shrieking and televised temper tantrums over how shutting down the federal government somehow approximates treason, Democrats have suddenly embraced the tactic in their quest to keep the nation’s borders wide open for Muslim terrorists and illegal aliens.
Democrats are threatening to force a shut-down of the government after it runs out of operating funds after April 28.
Outnumbered in both houses of Congress, and facing a Republican in the White House for the first time in eight years, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and other Democrats say they will oppose efforts to finance President Trump’s planned border wall in spending legislation needed to keep the government open for business. Adding favored projects to must-pass spending bills, instead of dealing with the projects as freestanding legislation outside the budget process, is a time-honored way of getting things done in Congress. Both parties do it when in the majority.

How about we charge a tax on booze and pot to pay for the wall?
Best of luck, Chuck!
A credible threat requires impending harm, so where’s the downside?
Good let em
Shut it down. Let’s see who breaks first.
Weren’t the funds already allocated a few years ago?

Charge him as an accessory the next time an illegal murders, rapes, kills people in a car accident, etc etc.
Exactly! How’s this for a motto: Bring It, Chuckie!
The trouble is that the Demoncrats and the Lame Stream Media will find a way to blame the Republicans, just like the last time.
That’s right, throw President Trump into that briar patch.
maybe 3/4 of the fed govt should be shut down...permanently.
let’s all get behind Schumer’s proposal (and then just keep his shutdown IN PLACE)
we can name it after him ... the Schumer Right-Sizing of Government Event
we can even have it proclaimed an annual national holiday, like any other national liberation type celebration
That should endear him to his hard-core lefty constituents, whose core belief is that the only thing better than Big Government is Bigger Government.
I don’t think Chuckie realizes that the tide has turned....go ahead schmuck, the finger is pointing at you.
Must be he hasn’t been able to secure a kickback from it yet.
Why not a Schumer Shut Up?
to hell with them, enemies are enemies let them rot where they fall..the birds need food too...
ole chucky will never stop, make him a road splot..lol run him over and over and over
Yes, please do, and this time all furloughed federal employees should not be paid.
Great Idea!
This really approaches the level of: “Do anything you want to me, but, please, please, don’t throw me in that briar patch!”
