BRENNAN: You've been critical of shutting down the government! 2018 and 2013. Here's what you said in 2018.

SEN. MURPHY (D): "We shouldn't be having the discussion amidst a government shutdown, and trying to USE our nation's security and all of these federal workers and the work that they do as hostages!"

BRENNAN: Aren't you doing today EXACTLY what you were criticizing then?

SEN. MURPHY: No...that was long term...

It is particularly useless to deal with modern Liberal Democrats.
As long as vital services continue and our military gets paid. Shut it down for years!
Government is mostly Democrats so “let them eat cake”.
The fewer Democrats in my country
the better off we all are.
I’ll donate money to have them
leave and never come back! Rather than
pay them the BS they are presently demanding.

It’s already known as the ‘Schumer shutdown’... It has a nice ring to it and it rings true.

The DumocRats are responsible and they will pay the price, not Trump.

I don’t believe it. It’s not like losing Walter Cronkite.

But Schumer won't. He is eliminating the primary threat from AOC. The economy and everthing else is secondary.

So this whole kabuki theater is cuz schmuckiechuckie is “fending off” a primary challenge. How nice that the whole country gets to participate, whether we like it or not.

Libs are so incredibly self absorbed

Senator Murray is a mental lightweight, but an expert on extracting campaign contributions from lobbyists.

Nice to see her “Hoisted by your own petard.”
I hope that this shutdown ruins both her and Senator Can't-(Vote)-well’s chances for reelection.

Murphy should have explained that 1984 is a Democrat Party handbook.

They get to make up their own rules, their own words, their own meaning of words—and they can change any of it in a nanosecond...

and if you have any objections that just proves you are a right wing racist fascist extremist.

Murphy’s such a pile of dog squeeze. The entire democrat party has lost their minds except for the one guy who’s recovering from a stroke.

What Schumer doesn’t realize is the crazy dems will still go for AOC. Schumer’s days are almost over.

” even CBS”\

CBS has a new owner now, David Ellison, sone of Oracle’s David Ellison. Father and Son seem on same page. There are and will be changes. It will be interesting to see what they are.

Most changes will be pragmatic, based on money, not ideology.
