So the shutdown is still the democrats fault. Majority doesn't help when it's less than 60.or am I missing something? Yes and no. Let's say you have the house with 51 cannibals and 49 non-cannibals. All cannibals claim they want to start allowing to eat children while the non-cannibals voted against that idea. Would it be the non-cannibals fault for not coming to an agreement, or might there be a chance that well.... those cannibals are fucking nutty? Just because the democrats aren't jumping on board doesn't mean it is "their fault" .... It means that the Republicans don't want to cater to them but know they have to, so they are taking the opportunity to shut the government down and blame democrats with hopes to get more Republicans elected this year. --- Japanese Crack: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5pzggr <cite>Sayoria posted [p:894461622] in Why did th...

So the shutdown is still the democrats fault. Majority doesn't help when it's less than 60.or am I missing something? You're not really wrong. The issue is there was a bi-partisan deal, but Trump threw a massive bitch fit because there wasn't funding for a wall, something republicans have been trying to insist is metaphorical. Congress had to go back to the drawing board and scramble to come up with something last minute, and that obviously failed. 5 republicans voted no on the last-ditch bill while 5 democrats voted yes. If Trump had just agreed to the original deal this shit wouldn't have happened. Of course Trump himself has been hinting he wanted something like this to happen since May Also turtle boy McConnell declined to hear a bill about guaranteed pay for military families during this shutdown. So if you want to blame a sole entity, it would be Trump. --- DezCaughtIt AKA freakofnature30 Brockhampton makes me *saturate* <cite>DezDroppedFreak posted [p:894463343] in Why did th...

So they relied on democrats to help pass this thing. So the shutdown is still the democrats fault. Majority doesn't help when it's less than 60.or am I missing something? Republicans couldn't even get 50 Very true. The Republicans have a fractured Caucus. The issue with the Republicans over all is they've become a tent party for everyone. Its like the time before the Civil War all over again. The Democrats regardless if you believed in owning slavery the party platform consisted of people should have the right to choose to enslave. The Confederacy was essentially run by Democrats who didn't own slaves but made the right to choose the hallmark of the rebellion. The Republican Party right now has all sorts of different voices. Even the voters are of all different types. Right now when it comes to the Democrats the party has moved more towards the left to the point I think we only have one descender to the party. You don't have those like Joe Lieberman anymore. The funding bill literally hits all Democrat points that Democrats love. The issue is Democrats want DACA. If it wasn't DACA it would have been something else. During the Hurricane Session that would have been the perfect time as said by many others a good time to force Democrats to vote on this budget.
