Ryan is too ugly for words . . . . The man has NO INTEGRITY! The reason the Dems are not voting is because the bill the House passed is crap. Ryan has no idea what his President wants so he sponsored and passed a bad bill!
TRIBALISM rules.
I don't know. Did the Democrats do enough to make GOP fix immigration issues?
"House approves bill to keep government open as Senate Democrats take heat for threatening to block it"
By Mike DeBonis, Ed O'Keefe and Erica Werner January 18, 2018
I want to show America the true reason for the impasse between Paul Ryan's hoodlums and the Schumer idiots. It's Tweety and his ~$18B Wall for the most part!
"“We don’t have a reliable partner at the White House to negotiate with,” Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) said. “This has turned into an s-show for no good reason.”"
The saddest thing about the Tweety Wall is his ignorance of the physical walls in place, and his unwillingness to accept that we have enough "Wall" already, we just need better security. Tweety had no idea the extent of the Wall and fences and barriers along he border between the USA and Mexico when he promised a Wall, and promised Mexico would pay for it.
America cannot waste money on a Tweety/Trump Wall!
". . . a long, tense day on Capitol Hill that began with a flurry of tweets from Trump that doubled down on his demands for an expensive border wall and accused Democrats of snubbing the military. Another tweet, however, seemed to upend the Republican strategy for avoiding a shutdown and contradict his administration’s stated policy position — suggesting that the children’s health program ought not to be attached to a temporary spending bill."
The GOP owns all three branches of Gov so they cannot blame the Dems for their failure!
". . . Republican leaders — long on the defensive against claims that they were failing to govern — appeared emboldened as they sought to cast the Democrats as the obstacle to a compromise to keep critical government functions operating."
Disingenuous and cynical Mitch tries hard to blame the Dems. GOP had plenty of time to fix immigration and they did not of it because Tweety has not sent a clear message of what he will sign! It ultimately falls on Tweety, this Gov shutdown.
“My Democratic colleagues’ demands on illegal immigration, at the behest of their far-left base, have crowded out all other important business,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Thursday night. “And now they are threatening to crowd out the needs of veterans, military families, opioid treatment centers and every other American who relies on the federal government — all over illegal immigration.”
Sad scene Mitch, sad. Fix immigration NOW! Republicans can fix immigration and no one can trust the GOP to fix it unless Dems use this situation today to get a fix NOW.
The GOP owns the Gov and THEY have not done their job!
"“We have to sit down together and solve this, with the president or without,” he said.
Republican leaders rejected that suggestion. They did not lay out a Plan B to pursue if the House bill is ultimately rejected, except to finger Democrats for a shutdown."
Ryan lies when he uses blackmail announcements to leverage the Dems into voting for his crap bill, blaming the Dems for HIS weakness.
It's on YOU Paul Ryan, ON YOU! The DEms know you will NOT help them with DACA if they give you what you demand. YOU CANNOT BE TRUSTED BECAUSE TWETY IS UNPREDICTABLE! YOU do not control your President.
"Senate GOP leaders prepared to force Democrats into a series of uncomfortable votes, aimed at splitting their ranks by pitting moderates from states that Trump won against party leaders and the handful of outspoken liberals considering a run for the presidency.
For one, Republicans attached a long-term extension of the Children’s Health Insurance Program and delays to several unpopular health-care taxes. The bill does not include protections for “dreamers,” immigrants brought to the United States illegally as children or who overstayed their visas as children, a top Democratic priority."
Honest GOP members, primarily Lindsey Graham, will tell the truth . . .
"Republican lawmakers and aides, who were already pressed to secure enough GOP votes to get the bill through the House, scrambled to decipher Trump’s intentions. Much as he had to do a week ago after Trump tweeted about an intelligence bill, Ryan got on the phone with the president to clarify matters, and hours later, the White House confirmed that Trump indeed supported the bill.
The tweets inflamed frustrations in both parties over what they characterized as an all-too-often uncooperative president.
“We don’t have a reliable partner at the White House to negotiate with,” Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) said. “This has turned into an s-show for no good reason.”"
So, Paul Ryan, you look very, very ugly announcing the blame is all on the Dems. You are lying!
For emphasis:"“We don’t have a reliable partner at the White House to negotiate with,” Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) said. “This has turned into an s-show for no good reason.”"
A chaotic, bumbling White House, President Tweety . . . failure after failure after failure . . . Tweety is unfit for the Presidency.
"Schumer called Trump and his administration “agents of chaos” who have foiled attempts to reach a bipartisan agreement on immigration, which remained the most salient sticking point Thursday.
“The one thing standing in our way is the unrelenting flow of chaos from the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue,” Schumer said. “It has reduced the Republicans to shambles. We barely know who to negotiate with.”"
The solution is in the hands of the GOP as it has been for MONTHS!
"All but a few House Democrats said they would not support the bill without an immigration or long-term budget deal.
“If we can’t agree, your party has the majority in the House and the Senate to pass your own funding resolution. But that will be a bill we cannot support,” 171 of 193 House Democrats wrote in a letter to Ryan on Thursday."
It seems to boil down to Tweety using DACA for his Wall, and Tweety NEVER meant for Congress to solve the immigration issues we have in America.
"The last shutdown, in 2013, lasted for 16 days as Republicans tried unsuccessfully to force changes to the Affordable Care Act. On Jan. 30, Trump is scheduled to deliver his State of the Union address. "
Expect Tweety to shout out blame for all Democrats in his State of the Union speech. Expect Dems to hit back. TRIBAL POLITICS CONTINUE WITH TWEETY LEADING.
