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 nations 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 Trumps 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.

Fock the schmuck...
The press will support them all the way too, regardless of any negative impacts it might have. I hope they do, most conservatives would welcome a government shutdown for awhile.
It will not take long and the media and Libs will classify a possible shut down as a Republican shut down
The parts I named are unessential. EPA, NEA, OSHA, Welfare. Although my opinion of unessential and the government’s idea are two different things.
Good. Shut it down.
What boggles the mind is the supposed reason that any law makers would oppose the wall.
What else can they claim other than it won’t work and would be a waste of money?
If that were true, they should merely vote against it and mock when the wall fails.
No. They are lying about their real reason for opposing the wall.
THEY KNOW THE WALL WILL WORK.
They know it will cut off illegal immigration from our southern border. And they don’t want the border protected or the laws enforced.
It’s that simple.
Little Chuckie suffers from an almost maniacal sense of self-importance.
Schumer should be recalled.
Still, he was for it, before he was against it...
He is the so evil. Behind Pelosi when she is spouting her nonsense smiling like the grinch. What a tool.
“Yes, please do, and this time all furloughed federal employees should not be paid.”
And no back pay after they return to work! They are by and large all RATs anyway, so make their wallets hurt and point them at Schumer & Co.
