   That is complete bullshit this is the Schumer shut down everybody knows it takes 60 votes to pass a spending bill in the Senate and your beloved Democrats will not cooperate to put the country firstso get your story straight. And no I am not a Republican, I am an independent so don’t try to lay any of that heartless crap about Republicans on me either because I don’t care.

   Footnote… We don’t care about Schumer either, you fucking dummy. But you’re too fucking dim to sort it out.

   I wish excruciating rectal fissures on you and you kin.

   If it’s any consolation my contempt for you is only about 35%. Half of me is sad & 5% respectively is sincerely sympathetic, wonderment & boredom.

   The genuine contempt just works better on the internet.

   Until Republicans control 60 Senate seats, they’ll have to work with Democrats to get what they want. And the way things are going, they may never get to that magic number.

   Or…They may control those 60 seats by tomorrow morning. The Constitution is just some old-timey nonsense to Trump and dip shits like Jersey.

   Holding out for DACA is a risky gambit. Unfortunately, and regardless of what the recent DACA polling says, Americans don’t give a f**k about illegal immigants or their children.

   Democrats just lost a presidential election with a candidate whose campaign memorably featured tear-jerking ads promising children of undocumented immigrants that they and their parents could stay.

   Just to remind everyone, that candidate lost.

   We aren’t talking about a bunch of profiles in courage among the Dems. They must have sensed more risk by throwing the DACA kids under the bus.

   That said, yeah. I’d have expected CHIP to be more front and center.

   Did I mention we’re not fond of Schumer & Co. either? I feel like I did.

   To people like Jersey, this is just a year-round sports league. They can’t get their minds around anything more complicated than an NFL point spread.

    Another thing, Mr. Shur:

    http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/369882-trumpshutdown-becomes-top-trending-hashtag-worldwide

    This link contains three poll results. According to the public, it’s the Trump Shutdown by margins of 48-28, 47-31 and 53-34. As it should be — he turned down the bipartisan plan cold after John Kelly brought the hardliners to the White House.

    The New York Times reports that a group of Senate Democrats is helping the Republican effort to roll back the Dodd-Frank bank regulations signed by President Obama in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. The new proposal would raise the threshold for extra regulatory scrutiny from $50 billion in assets to $250 billion, “leaving fewer than 10 big banks in the United States subject to the stricter oversight,” according to the paper.

    These are the Democratic cosponsors of the Senate bill:

    Sen. Bennet, Michael F. [D-CO]
    Sen. Carper, Thomas R. [D-DE]
    Sen. Coons, Christopher A. [D-DE]
    Sen. Donnelly, Joe [D-IN]
    Sen. Heitkamp, Heidi [D-ND]
    Sen. Kaine, Tim [D-VA]
    Sen. Manchin, Joe, III [D-WV]
    Sen. McCaskill, Claire [D-MO]
    Sen. Peters, Gary C. [D-MI]
    Sen. Tester, Jon [D-MT]
    Sen. Warner, Mark R. [D-VA]

    My favorite line of reasoning from xenophobes is the one that holds allowing too many immigrants will dilute or destroy our culture.

    Mind you, this is a culture that not only produced Donald Trump as a celebrity in the first place but then elected him its leader. So much for that argument.

    When are whites ever going to get a fair shake in this country?
