http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/21/opinions/government-shutdown-opinion-stewart/index.html I'm sure CNN is getting hate mail and death threats for this. But, the truth hurts & try as they might, this shutdown solely rests on the shoulders of the Democrats. It's time they own it.
If nothing else, citizens are not buying into leftist rationalizations this time around in which during the Obama years all government shut downs were the fault of the GOP and that during the Trump administration all government shut downs must still be the fault of the GOP . . . just . . . just . . . BECAUSE. People are tired of leftist rationalizations and are finally applying common sense. The fault of a shut down rests with those people who voted for the shut down. Citizen logic 101.
Yes and to leftist despair he has explained that the fault for the shut down resides with the Left since they care far, far more for illegal aliens than for their own citizens and for the military. In response people are saying . . . yes, that's what it seems like to us as well.
Blame game is good optics. Democrats have a gaping wound here they they do not want people to look at. The jig is up (for most of us we never fell for it in the first place). Democrats want desperately need illegals in order for their party to survive. Part of their long term strategy is to pack the nation with as many illegals as possible and then give them citizenship or voting rights once a point-of-no-return threshold has been reached. Pointing fingers about who shut down what is an alluring ploy designed to keep the focus off the fact that they aren't putting America first. Just as the "shithole" hype was a ploy designed to keep the focus off the question Trump had asked: Why do you want to inundate the nation with these people?
Except this isn't a lie. This is a mathematical fact. Unless you are saying the math is wrong & is a lie...
I'm saying that republicans pick and choose when CNN is and isn't lying depending on whether they agree with the story. Zero intellectual honesty.
Conservatives are simply amazed whenever the Counterfeit News Network actually allows a truth to escape the lips of their reporters and anchors. It is, however, glaringly obvious when such an event occurs simply because it is so very, very rare. Definitely a 'man bites dog'event where CNN is concerned.
Actually... you are mistaken. People are shocked to see CNN isn't lying about this. The subject is, after all, right in their Fake News wheelhouse.
This is the first time in US history that a government shutdown occurred while all three branches of the government were controlled by the same party. If you think you need a supermajority in the Senate to pass a budget, then you are governing incorrectly. Donald Trump said, in 2013, "A government shutdown occurs when the President is bad at his job." Polling data demonstrates that Americans blame Republicans and Trump at a 2-to-1 ratio compared to Democrats. #TrumpShutdown
