Wow, it's not like they get citizenship tomorrow.

Also 87% of people are in favor of DACA.

There's also this:

either elect more Republican Senators in 2018 or change the rules now to 51%. Our country needs a good "shutdown" in September to fix mess!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 2, 2017

So we know where he stands on a shutdown.

This is on the dems and schumer. Reps passed a bill in house, demo held out for daca. Illegal aliens are more important than a functioning govt. Congratulations. You own it now.

I don't want you to be furloughed either, but when you control both houses and the White House it's kind of hard to do any finger pointing. This could've been avoided months ago. They like to work under a deadline just like everyone else.

They need 60 votes.. unlike what dems did under the nuclear option, repubs followed normal voting policy. Dems filibustered the bill.

Oh and trade reinhart for a new zamboni, Girgensons for a new sabre tooth suit, and gorges for, nevermind, nobody wants gorges.

So the republicans own no blame for refusing to negotiate for months? What about Lindsey Graham? He voted no. 5 or 6 dems voted yes. It's never just one side's fault.

Graham is a co-author on the DACA bill. This "it's only X's fault and no one else's!!" poop has to stop if anything is ever going to get done. You get people's hackles up and they'll go against you just to spite you.

I think it's safe to say we all need a drink....

Lindsey Grahamnesty? C'mon, man. They get paid. They're playing politics with my paycheck. The daca thing had a deadline in march. 2hy grandstand now? Ridiculous.

Procedural. He has to be in the majority in order to easily bring it back up for a vote.

I already said why. They've had months to get something done. They haven't. This is leverage plain and simple. They thought they had something done that the president said he'd sign then he moved the goalposts when they took it to him.

Lindsey Graham, Jeff Flake, Rand Paul and Mike Lee voted against the bill. And, technically, McConnell himself voted against it (for procedural reasons).

5 Democrats voted yes: Donnelly, Heitkamp, Manchin, Jones, McCaskill

Yeah its a great look to shut down govt over support for illegal aliens. Good luck with that.

McConnell knew he didn't have the votes, so who's grandstanding? Everyone. It's what they do.

It sucks. I hope they can get a deal done and you can go to work on Monday, or Tuesday if there's some weird procedure thing like they can't pass a law on a Sunday or some bullpoop.


No one wants CRs, they don't give anyone anyway to know how much money they'll have to spend.
