Oops: Even AP blames democrats for shutdown.

[Darth Omar]

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is accusing President Donald Trump of reneging on a deal he thought they had neared on immigration and spending.

The New York Democrat said on the Senate floor that after a White House meeting Friday with Trump, he thought “in my heart” that senators could complete an agreement by evening. He says he “reluctantly” offered concessions on Trump’s long-sought border wall with Mexico in exchange for strong protections for young immigrants.

Schumer says Trump didn’t try selling the accord to congressional Republican leaders, who wouldn’t accept it. Schumer says Trump “backed off at the first sign of pressure.”

Schumer says of Trump: “It’s almost as if you were rooting for a shutdown. Well, now we’ll have one.”

Democrats shut down the government over DACA. That’s the story and that’s the headline—-or should be.

Amusingly, the Twitter headline for this AP link reads:

The Latest: Senate Democrats appear to have derailed a Republican bill aimed at preventing a federal shutdown. [AP on Twitter]

Note the gratuitous word smithing in the above headline. Why can’t AP just say ‘Democrats shut down the government over DACA’? That’s what happened and it’s more concise.

But when you click on the Twitter link it takes you to another headline which reads: “Schumer says Trump backed off deal”.

And here I thought the media might actually blame democrats for a government shutdown, finally. Well they did at first, but they couldn’t follow through with it lol.

Schumer and his sidekick Pelosi are idiots.
All those "dreamers" should be required to gain citizenship the same way all other legal immigrants do.

Your stupidity shows with every post.

Chucky cares more for illegals than citizens. They've got till March to deal with DACA. He's idiotic.

And, before the libs here get their boxers in a bunch over not understanding who the shutdown affects..........
A shutdown only affects funds annually appropriated by Congress, not funding that is sustained long-term. The Social Security trust fund is paid for through a combination of taxes and long-term investments. Other core functions like disability claims or appeals over benefits would continue to function.

Congress has till March to address DACA.

If voters want them to stay Congress needs to pass a law to where they are here *legally*. But the story here is democrats are willing to shut the government down in order to place the interests non-citizens ahead of government workers—-including military people stationed in harms way.

In a more sane world democrats would pay a hefty political price for it. But I never cease to be amazed at what they get away with.

Libs need to get their boxers in a bunch over who the shutdown affects because they are responsible for it.

Are democrats so confident about 2018 that they think they can get away with this?

It should be a separate issue. As you said, they have until March.

Indeed.

Trump needs to get the Branding Iron out and work his magic with it. Personally, I like ‘The Schumer Shutdown’.

Democrats should be made to own this, but the media is providing cover for them.

The problem is, Trump, no matter what he does, will be blamed. The Dems and media hatred is astounding.

The media, is in large part, an organ of the democrat party.

Trump totally gets it. He wouldn’t have gotten elected if he didn’t. It’s up to him to craft a message that will counter their spin.

And he probably will, before noon lol.

Has any JPP member died from the shut down yet?

Just the facts:

trump's Obama envy was at its peak, so he ended DACA

Republicans spent the entirety of '17 refusing to allow Democrats...and most Republicans...into back door meetings in a failed attempt to take healthcare away from millions of Americans.

Republicans refused to allow Democrats...and most Republicans...into back door meetings when they crafted the toxic tax giveaway to corporations.


Now that Republicans can no longer ram through legislation via reconciliation, they must come up with ways to compromise with Democrats.


This is trump's shutdown. All he had to do is take a pen, and undo his Executive action against DACA. Or, extend the deadline by several months.

But he's pandering to the Alt. Right minority in Congress, which is the same size as his base.


trump shutdown. No other way to spin this. Now matter how many Russians take to Twitter.

trump's too busy whining about missing his bribery gathering at Mar A Lago.

It's so cute when he mopes.
