    The Schumer shutdown is now in effect. Liberals will scream and stamp their feet trying to blame it on the President. However anyone with an IQ above a rutabaga knows full well it is Schumer and the democrats that has forced the shut down. Even liberal papers are blaming Schumer and the democrats.

    What is really stupid is democrats are forcing this shut down over DACA which is not a real law, and doesnt come due until March. Why now democrats???????????

    The huge problem with the shut down is the underpaid members of the military are not being paid.

    So, our military IS doing its job, but NOT getting paid... while Congress is NOT doing its job, but IS getting paid? Classic.

    Wrong. Next lie please.

    And

    Trump was offered a deal that gave him everything he asked for and went on "shithole" rant and blew up the negotiation.

    Active-duty troops, as well as Guard and Reserve members, would not get paid during a shutdown unless Congress passes a separate piece of legislation to do so.

    So THAT is on the GOP Congress as well

    Uh------------------President Trump does not have a vote in the Senate. This shut down is all on Schumer and the democrats. Scream hollar and stamp your feet but intelligent people know this shut down is on the democrats that didnt vote for funds to keep running the government.

    I agree, but people who are bad at civics (which account for most Americans, unfortunately) will be fooled by Schumer's "republicans hold the majority, so it's their fault" lies. It's surprising how many here on PF seem to not understand the shutdown was 100% a political play by the democrats, who made the call.

    All the GOP has to do is add DACA and remove the defunding of the ACA (and make it a year long authorization instead of this month to month bullshit) and Dems will give them a veto proof bill to fund the government.

    It's THAT simple

    What has DACA have to do with funding the government. Be specific since I see no connection what so ever.

    What does funding the ACA have to do with it? THAT is in there too.
    In short...it can include anything and the GOP has been stringing DACA along for years. It's a completely popular program.

    There is NO reason NOT to include it and now is the time because it expires in weeks

    Sounds a lot like a hostage situation to me. Democrats are clearly in charge of (and own) this.

    After all the smoke and fury of the Schumer shutdown, the question remains how long will the democrats hold the government hostage.?

    Trump was offered a bi-partisan proposal and "shitholed" it

    This marks the first time in US history that there has been a government shutdown with one party controlling both houses of congress, and the White House.

    The republican party doesn't control the Senate. I simply has a slight majority. The government shutdown should prove that to you.
