2023 Republican Government Shutdown: Same Shit, Same Story

[GSU&UT 1,798]

Yeah no permanent DACA, no deal. Come back with a bill for national automatic voter registration, repeal of any voter ID laws, end to gerrymandering etc.

This.  Or 10 year extensions on both for 2.5 million.  When Dems come to power, they can just make it permanent within that time period.  

 

15yr extension on DACA and Bridge.  6 billion total for wall... BUT spread over same 15yrs. The orange moron will just see 6 billion and declare victory.

From what I understand it's a 3 year extension on them....

 

Does that include a path to citizenship for Dreamers or is he just promising not to deport them for a while longer?

[mdmost 43,058]

Kicking the can down the road since the Supreme Court won't take up his DACA appeal. Again, another immigration crisis of his creation.

I believe the latter.  Coulter and Rush would skewer him if he let more brown people become Dem voter citizens.  Plus, MS-13 rapists  with leprosy.

Full path to citizenship for Dreamers is the only thing Democrats should accept for wall money. DREAM Act for wall. No DREAM Act, no wall.

[Hugo Stiglitz 23,367]

Democrats shouldn’t negotiate with Trump.  

Mitch needs to pass a CR, Nancy needs to pass a CR.

Put it on dotard’s desk.

[mdmost 43,058]

I tend to agree but there's a point where not being open to negotiating is going to blow back on the Democrats. I agree with David, full path to citizenship for the Dreamers is what you come back on and spell out why this is important. Don't give him what he wants without exacting some pain from him with this base.

Yeah no kidding. Little Nazis like Stephen Miller can't like this.

Pelosi should respond with an offer of make DACA permanent and less wall money.

Offer of make DACA permanent and NO wall money, plus non-wall border security money, contingent on the release of Trump’s tax returns first.

Pelosi should tell him to go fuck himself and open the government. Dems are winning. This isn't going to move things an inch.

"bipartisan steps." Like shutting down the government for a month, holding dedicated public servants' salaries, critical services, and perhaps the entire economy hostage to get your pet policy project without any comparative analysis of alternatives? Okay. What a joke. This is amateur hour.

It's hard to think of three bigger bitches than McC, Kush, and Pence huddling in the Capitol trying to come up with a plan. The only bigger one would be the orange pustule drinking Diet Cokes in the WH.

[Horn Under a Bad Sign 20,519]

Let's see how big of an emergency this really is: Dems should offer him 10 billion for the wall in exchange for making his tax returns public.

What do you mean you don't want this shit sandwich? How can anyone turn down a shit sandwich from the President? The Clemson players loved when I offered them shit sandwiches.

[Brisketexan 105,450]

So, I've been busy doing things other than listening to a barely functioning narcissist retard spout bullshit.  What is his proposal, exactly?

[HenryJames 66,189]

Here is what Trump proposed:

• $800 million in humanitarian assistance
• $805 million for drug detection technology to secure ports of entry
• Funds to hire 2,750 new border agents and law enforcement professionals at the border
• 75 new immigrations judge teams to reduce backlog of 900,000 cases
• And, of course, $5.7 billion for “strategic deployment of physical barriers” aka “the wall”
• Three years of legislative relief for 700,000 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients
• A three-year extension of relief for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders

Did the President say how he intends to pay for all of this or will we just borrow more money from the Chinese and future generations of taxpayers?

Of course Trump knew the Dems wouldn’t accept this and his obvious intent was to try to deflect some of the blame back to them.

What's funny is most of that money and terms of the deal is to fix shit he's specifically broken like the border, DACA, and immigration. So yeah give that asshole money for things he broke. Swell idea.

Pretty sobering every time we have a day like this. Realizing for the umpteenth time that most of the Rs in DC couldn't give less of a shit about American citizens.

Isn’t DACA an executive order? Who cares what the length of the deal is to the extent it extends beyond Trump, right?
