Why can’t Congress just do their job?

I don’t know ..they work together quite well.
Especially when it comes to undermining our President and by extension the people.

“Has President Trump vetoed any budget legislation?”

Most of the budget has been passed. It’s the remaining 25% that remains in limbo.

Why is it that I don’t care about the furloughed workers? Because, their NOT getting a paycheck has no effect on my day-to-day life.

I’ve been laid-off before. No paycheck and no prospects (unlike the furloughed). My Senator didn’t pass legislation so I could get working again.

Suck it up, buttercups. We The People don’t rightly care.

If I were Pence, I would have replied to every one of the Turn Coat Chamber of Commie Open border hos that the reason we are here is Since 1986 this body (US Senate) Promised the American People they would stop Illegal Immigration and secure our Southern Border.

Instead you are playing games with American Lives so you can fluff your Campaign Chests with Agricorp, and C.O.C. money.

Second Translation: You first Mr. President. Use your emergency powers.

It was always going to go this way. I recommend that Trump pick a bigger fight. Start trimming federal departments and furloghing federal workers. The Wall will get built by the Army but that fight will be forgotten.

Pence doesn’t take a strong stand for anything; he’s a spectator and nothing more.

Interesting that the most important constituency to the Senate is the federal government workers. Viper's nest, the entire lot of 'em.

This is Pass/Fail on the President. He fails this, if he caves, he will not win re-election. See George “Read My Lips” Bush.

This will likely be the end for Trump if it stands.
Failure to deliver on the wall is going to cause too many of his supporters to walk away.

The joke is going to be on the GOPe because things aren’t going back to the way they were under W. The AOC barbarians are literally at the gate. We are actually going to be debating a wealth tax. If they fold on Trump it is quite literally going to be GAME OVER.

Thanks for adding a bit of humor concerning my typo. roflmao.

How in the hell I came up with “jars” instead of “jaws” I’ll never know. The only excuse I can offer is I am almost as old as dirt.

Why win in the long run when you can surrender now? The GOP is a waste of nutrients. Makes me glad I left when GHWB stabbed them in the back in 1990.

Dems demand new democrat voters. If they don’t get to keep the borders open they will lose elections.

“Pence doesn’t take a strong stand for anything; he’s a spectator and nothing more.”

I think you’re right about that. I have no idea what he stands for. He seems like a wimp to me. No way should he be Trump’s successor.
