B-Man Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 #schumershutdown SCHUMER DIGS IN Chuck Schumer vows to continue his government shutdown forever rather than fund a wall: President Trump, if you want to open the government, you must abandon the wall, plain and simple. Schumer claims the Democrats are “open to discussing any proposal as long as they do not include anything for the wall.” ..........Sure they are. This is all theater, of course. {snip} No one doubts how the press will spin the shutdown: no matter who controls Congress, no matter whether the president is a Democrat or a Republican, no matter the circumstances, if the federal government shuts down it is the Republicans’ fault. Beltway Republicans, who care more about the press than the rest of us, have absorbed this lesson, which is why Mitch McConnell hates the idea: Most Americans have gotten appropriately cynical about “shutdown” theater. The various organs of government continue to operate, for better or worse. As Steve has said, as long as taxes are being deducted from your paycheck, the government has not, in fact, closed down. It is interesting that, of all the issues that divide the parties, the one that both are willing to go to the mat on is a border wall. Its importance is mostly, but by no means entirely, symbolic. Employer enforcement and defunding sanctuary states and cities are probably more important in stemming illegal immigration. But the border wall has an obvious, tangible significance. The Democrats have staked their future on importing voters in violation of the law, since the voters they already have mostly prefer not to have many children. Republicans, in turn, have staked their future on preserving the rule of law, and on preserving an America more or less like the one we know. It comes down, ultimately, to a contest between preserving America vs. preserving the Democratic Party. Despite the smoke screen laid down by the media, I think the Republicans should win this one. Whether they will “win” the current shutdown is a different, and less important, question. .https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2018/12/schumer-digs-in.php?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+powerlineblog%2Flivefeed+(Power+Line) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) Bait and switch... I thought Mexico is paying for the wall! That should be the refrain in Congress. Why all of a sudden the US is paying. The guy lies, people vote for him... What a bunch of Republatards. Don't need to remind me to never go car shopping with a basket of Deplorable Snowflakes. Who couldn't have seen this classic bait and switch coming a mile away. Conman is now having a temper tantrum like a two-year old and the Republicans are the quintessential abetting new ager parents: "Yes Donny! You can have anything your little heart & hands desires.

On the other hand, Ivanaka was born into a wealthy family, and you can"t discount the silver spoon effect in a street fight.

And "pushed" is now "directed." And everyone's apparently forgotten that Trump tends to be so malleable that he parrots the position of the last person he talked to. That could be the Secretary of State, or the White House maintenance staff. None of that is "direction."
