As Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and their far left Democrat caucus continue to keep the federal government closed, they're getting crushed by headlines in the typically liberal media.
"Senate Democrats voted Wednesday to block a House-passed stopgap funding bill that would reopen the federal government until Nov. 21, but several Democrats broke with Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) and supported the measure," The Hill reports. "Wednesday’s vote marked the third time in two weeks that the House-passed continuing resolution failed to advance on the Senate floor — but it was the first time senators voted on the issue while the government is closed. The measure needed 60 votes to advance and failed 55-45, the same margin as Tuesday’s vote."
"Congressional Democrats embrace government shutdown," The Washington Post adds.
"Senate Democrats have voted down a Republican bill to keep funding the government, putting it on a near certain path to a shutdown after midnight Wednesday for the first time in nearly seven years," the notoriously anti-GOP Associated Press reported. "The Senate rejected the legislation as Democrats are making good on their threat to close the government if President Donald Trump and Republicans won’t accede to their health care demands. The 55-45 vote on a bill to extend federal funding for seven weeks fell short of the 60 needed to end a filibuster and pass the legislation."

Meanwhile, Democrat Congressman Shri Thanedar is admitting the shutdown is a tactic.
🚨YIKES: Shri Thanedar ADMITS that Democrats are the ones who decided to shut the government down!
"If that means we gotta shut this government down, so be it!"
What's wrong with his eyebrows?

If only.
Like a historical cliché, Chuck, age 74, is clinging to power with his fingernails, while friend and foe are already planning for life without him.
Yeah.
“What could happen to us without Schumer?”
“Let’s find out.”
He accidentally saw himself in a mirror.
Life without Chuckie Schumer
Sounds like life without Sauron
Looking forward to it.
My sense is for the 1st time the rats are getting the blame
The Dems are the minority.
What is the problem?
It’s the Schumer Siesta - Ole!
Tack it up tack it up chucky gonna to shut you down
it happened on the strip where the road is wide.........
In real life, the Super Stock Dodge would have beaten the ‘vette with equally matched drivers.
At some point this begins looking almost devine. Everything they do fails miserably. Almost like they have been abandoned.
Wow. Saul Alinsky was right: “Ridicule is a man’s most potent weapon.” The rats are getting their brains beaten in by ridicule.
As I always say, the decades of media tongue baths have made them intellectually lazy. They’re so used to pulling out the same old chestnuts and having it work through media propaganda, they don’t know what else to say or do. Today Matt Walsh pulled out a clip of Bernie Sanders rolling out that old favorite “people are going to die” schtick he always uses. They can’t think of any different strategy. Dumbasses.
I think it’s going to be a (figurative) bloodbath tomorrow when the administration starts firing people and permanently closing offices. I just hope GOP leadership is inspired by the President to do what Shumer and Pelosi did every time the GOP would fold on a spending bill: Don’t be a gracious winner. Go in front of the cameras and run it in, good and hard
Gotta be cool now, power shift here we come
And there’s panic over at DU about the fact that the MSM ISN’T in lock-step with them and blaming everything on the right.
It's not their government to shut down.
It's OUR government, we the people.
They were elected to be our representatives, not our overlords.
“The Dems are the minority.”
Chucky, get to the back of the bus. Elections have consequences.
Trump should be telling them that from now on he will only take up Department by Department budgets. NO MORE OMNIBUS BILLS!
