I don’t see any way of negotiating with the House. “they’re not nuts they’re crazy”
Perhaps they will just live with an indefinite shutdown. Nothing Trump tries to do will be enough for these dems. The dems will blame the shutdown on Trump and think it will help them in 2020.
Remember, we started out as a one party system.
The House controls the purse strings and it’s in the democRats hands.
I guess it’s asking too much for the Washington Post to grasp such a nuanced point, such as this one.
“GOP in disarray as budget impasse threatens shutdown, deep cuts — and default”
GOP? How about the Leftists instead? Do they ever take responsibility for anything?
Thank goodness the GOP reined in spending when they controlled both houses of Congress. Oh, wait ...
We so need the house back.“
Yes, the GOP cut spending very aggressively when they had the House. NOT
Paul Ryan left us with this mess. Good thing he’s not being rewarded with high paying private sector gigs. Oh, wait ...
It’s pretty damn hard to cut spending in a still growing country.
It's not "The Washington Post", it's Jeff Bezos.
Alinsky's Rules for Radicals:
RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)
“ Failure to do so would force the government to make difficult decisions about which obligations to pay”
No, not “which obligations to pay”; “which programs to cut.”
It’s WAPO, so likely BS. But it does strike me that GOP and “disarray” have become largely synonymous.
Good point...
Thanks to all the absolute uninformed nitwits who voted for these DIMwit DIMs and their losing policies. Thanks a lot...
Wait.. This will be an election campaign year. Trump is the Republican candidate. There will be no serious challengers. The Democrats on the other hand have 2 dozen candidates running in the primaries. Each one with their own grandiose plans and programs which will require huge increases in taxes and deficit spending. The person with the biggest problem in this is Pelosi who has to corral all her candidates into some focused direction which seems unlikely to happen! Lots of huge egos! If the Republicans just stay united and strong for a sort period they can hammer the democrats on the budget!
Nonsense. When you include the word default, well you are just being silly.
Washington Post as a source...
That says it all unless you are a troll trying to drive clicks to this crap
I’m smoking the fact that Pelosi’s caucus won’t let her budge one inch, or one micron. She will he going with her bat arse crazy budget proposal and will have to stick with it. If she doesn’t and compromises at all with the GOP (who you know will compromise), then she will be in the position of needing GOP votes in the House. If the GOP gave her 90% of what she wants it still won’t be acceptable to her caucus.
And so the shutdown happens. Trump who has the bully pulpit can beat the drum that maybe, just maybe if the democrats cared more about doing their jobs than investigating him, trying to get his tax returns and pushing a phony Roosia Collusion conspiracy then maybe the government would not be shutdown.
And the democrats? This will just ramp up their impeachment calls.
So yes, Pelosi is in trouble.
and if FakeNewsMSM hadn’t pushed RussiaRussiaRussia for 2 years, and the Mueller investigation had ended before it began, or at least once Mueller knew there was no Trump campaign collusion with Russia (which was also before his fake investigation began), the House would not have been taken by the Dems, and this story would not be written today.
