Oops: Even AP blames democrats for shutdown.

[Cancel 2020.1]

Democrats derailed the republican effort to avoid a shutdown. Just like AP reported, before their re-write lol

That doesn't happen w/ good leadership from the top.

Sorry 'bout that.

Well, Trump HAS created that environment. He has done nothing to create any sense of bipartisanship in DC.

Trump is a terrible leader. He loves this kind of chaos; he loves that we're divided.

I had to bring the kerosene heater in the house this morning, because the flue on my wood burner needs to be swept. I blame the shut down.

The sun is out, and the snow is melting. What a lovely day...so glad, because we have a several hour road trip ahead of us later this afternoon. I'm going to thank God for that.
I'll blame obama for the reason we have to make the trip.

I believe the AP.

Before their re-write lol. But seriously, Republicans tried to keep from shutting down the government but not enough democrats voted to keep it open. That’s a fact. The first AP headline was dead-on target.

Who is spinning here.

You will always cherrypick only those stories, articles & polls which support your POV.

That is no surprise at all.

Bullshit ... U.S. soldiers won't be getting their paychecks thanks to Schumer. Blue collar, working class gov't employees won't be getting their paychecks, thanks to Schumer. White liberal elites won't be hurt tho ... so you're safe

Since when are you so concerned about govt employees getting paid with your precious tax dollars, you hypocrite fuck???

The story was totally accurate. The headline was totally accurate—but clumsily worded lol.

Democrats, led by Chuckie Schumer, derailed a republican led attempt to keep the government open. How can the shutdown be republicans fault when they offered up a bill to keep it open?

They didn’t give away enough of the farm to democrats? It’s sounds a bit like Schumer’s Shutdown.

That's a pretty typical hyper-partisan take.

So, Democrats have to approve anything that Republicans put out there, anytime, no matter what the clauses & results - or they're at fault.

Enlightening; thanks.

[domer76]

what you moron.

How can you use "prosecutorial discretion" for 800k people? Obama created a protected class

The Chief Executive allocates resources in his departments as he sees fit. He chose to allocate those resources in a different direction.

You can rationalize Orangetweet's rescission all you want. It doesn't change the fact that he and his majority party have had since September to fix it. You really think they will before March 5?

Fuck 'em. They made their bed.

Ironic from the guy constantly blaming Trump and the GOP.

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.

This whole thread reminds me of when Republicans tried to blame Barney Frank for the housing bubble, to deflect accountability from Bush.

[evince]

you stupid fucks are claiming that the democratic party has more power than the repubican party because they are the minority


I know how you can slove this

Give all the power to the Democratic party so you can be the minority party again and have that power you claim the Democraatic party has as a minority party

Yes, Bush The All Powerful, single handedly created the housing bubble lol.

Didn’t you just mention something about hyper partisanship?
