The Schumck Schumer Shutdown
Flopping Aces ^ | 01-19-18 | DrJohn

This is what it come down to- democrats are siding with illegal aliens over American soldiers. They would starve the US military for those who do not belong in this country.

democrats, led by Schmuck Schumer, are willing to shut down the government and halt pay for the Armed Forces if Republicans do not agree to amnesty for illegal aliens (read that as "future voters"). The House passed a short term spending bill but democrats are blocking it in the Senate, holding fast for non-Americans. ( I think it was Bob Grant who coined the phrase "Schmuck Schumer")

The Trump administration has promised not to weaponize the shutdown, if it occurs, as the obama administration did.

White House budget director Mick Mulvaney said Friday that if the government shuts down, it won’t be as bad as 2013 because former President Obama’s administration did things to make it worse.

Mulvaney said “the Obama administration weaponized the shutdown in 2013” for political purposes by closing popular attractions like national parks. He claimed the Trump administration isn’t planning to do the same.

“We're going to manage the shutdown differently, we're not going to weaponize it,"  the budget director told reporters at the White House. "We’re not going to try and hurt people, especially people who work for the federal government."

democrats believe the shutdown is in their favor, but it is an unpopular stance:
Voters overwhelmingly oppose the Democrats’ threat to shut down the government unless the GOP provides an amnesty to roughly 3 million illegals, according to a new poll by Rasmussen.  “Just 27% agree with Senate Minority Whip [Sen.] Dick Durbin’s call for a government shutdown to force a congressional decision on the Dreamers question separate from the border security issue,” said Rasmussen Reports. “Twice as many (55%) oppose a government shutdown for this reason. Seventeen percent (17%) are undecided.”

The shutdown threat is backed by only 26 percent of blacks, 35 percent of Democrats, 21 percent of moderates, 37 percent of people who earn more than $200,000, 23 percent of post-graduates, and 31 percent of people who strongly disapprove of President Donald Trump’s policies.

But the shutdown threat is opposed by 58 percent of blacks, 49 percent of Democrats, 42 percent of liberals, and 63 percent of people who earn from $30,000 to $63,000.

Trump promised to seize upon this as an election issue should it happen:

Looks to me like Chuck is just going to shut it down for the weekend. So he can say he tried- without pi##ing off most people.
Silly foolishness.

(read that as "future voters").

Repeat this over and over until it finally sinks in.They only need to turn a couple of states blue and they will never ever lose an election again.

If nothing else, Trump has yet again exposed these scumbags for what they are.

Schumer is a flipping Communist.

That word alone explains the utter lack of willingness to compromise. It explains the lack of reason or logic in his thoughts & speech. It reveals the utter blind devotion to the agenda of “the Party” over the needs of Americans!

I just heard Bernie Sanders on the news, saying R’s have the WH, the Senate, the House, so it’s their fault.
Reminds me of an armed assailant telling his victim, “Don’t make me shoot you!”

They need Democrat voters to rescue a left leaning party.

James Woods...tweeted:

“When the Schumer-Shutdown commences, start by defunding the sanctuary city criminal hideouts. Then turn off off entitlements to anyone illegally residing in America.”

When Democrats had the house, senate, and white house why didn’t they get DACA done back then?........ Clearly DACA is being used for nothing but obstructing government operations....
