    Democrats are taking more control of government. Last time in 2006 when they got power, it was only 2 years later when the housing market crashed. Democrats getting power usually means bad times for America.

    60 years? They've been around since Andrew (trail of tears) Jackson started them off. They've always been the same ever since.

    I wish the Senate Dems would actually compromise with the president instead if wasting everyone’s time with these meaningless political stunts

    Thank God. The public needs a reminder every once in a while that our lives, our happiness and our prosperity are not predicated on them being provided us by the government. Dysfunctional by design? Yes in the sense that it is intended to be limited in its reach and power as well as being slow acting enough that the minority is protected from the frothing masses.

    Durandal wants the trains to run on time before all else. That type power always comes at a huge cost to freedom, life, happiness and prosperity.

    Frankly, the federal government needs to be closed for half the year. A constitutional amendment to this effect would be nice.

    Not really, you are not applying well known facts, Trump lies non-stop and he likes TV props, the CBP personnel camera props while Mitch plays divisive partizan politics.

    Probably so

    The obama judges are notorious for overstepping their authority

    I think if a federal judge is overturned 3 times by the supreme court he is incompetent and should br fired

    Again, thanks for sharing your opinion. It's somewhat verbatim to many who align with your impressions.

    Actually facts that Trumpers can bring themselves to face because Trumpers will have to admit to being wrong and being conned and played for fools by the con man in chief.

    Is Mitch trying to lose his seat, or does he think all his Hillbilly supporters in Kentucky are too dense to realize he doesn’t know how to lead the Senate?

    Oh for crisssakes.

    Your claim is now that the wall will stop 100% of illegal immigration ?:roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol:

    The majority of “illegals” in this country came in thru our airports, and official ports of entry. Thats just a FACT. Illegal entry to the US thru the southern border is DOWN significantly since 2010. And here’s the best one.....per the US border patrol, we have a negative immigration problem at the southern border. That means that more people are leaving thru the southern border than are coming in. SO you building a wall will actually keep more here.

    You can’t make this **** up with a team of writers

    Wrong.....where did I ever claim that the wall will stop 100% illegal immigration. [​IMG] That is a leftist delusion running to absolutes with 100%. [​IMG] As Illegal Immigration is a whole nother issue than border security.

    Are you saying Bill Clinton and the Democrats lied when they put up the fencing and reported crossovers dropped down to damn near zero. That Border Officials lied for the Democrats. [​IMG]

    Per US Border Patrol, huh?

    Border Patrol Agent: Trump's wall is the best way to end to the humanitarian crisis on our southern border. By ... the closer we get to end the humanitarian crisis caused by our porous southern

    Hmmmm a negative problem at the Southern Border. [​IMG] But only a Border Patrol Agent saying a humanitarian crisis caused by our Porous Southern Border. That kind of causes a major ripple in the lefts narrative.

    That's better.

    Anyway, back to the actual subject of the OP.

    McConnell is a RW MORON who hates America.::flagus:

    Yes that is better, and getting back to the subject of the OP. Tell us how calling McConnell a name for doing the same thing Harry Reid did is getting back to the subject.

    Did you need a tissue for your issue? Try Posh Puffs they have aloe vera. It will soothe that burn.

    Neither Pelosi nor Schumer's name are in the title of this thread.

    Holy Cow, we have a Detective!

    Open Borders Democrats would rather shut down the government than secure the border.

    More of the same. You should learn to pace yourself.

    I am pacing myself, thanks. Try not to be triggered so easily would be my advice for you on a political opinion forum. It's obvious my post hit a truth nerve.

    I don't think projection is a rational form of rebuttal.

    Ahh, the strawman. Zero input for the thread topic but are looking to render a sour attitude onto me. As the old saying goes, misery likes company. Haters need to hate, I no longer need to engage here.

    Continuing on the same path won't get you anywhere. It appears I've triggered you, and it would seem you're of the type who can't let it go.

    Good luck!

    30 Democrats in Puerto Rico with 109 lobbyists for weekend despite shutdown

    Some 30 Democratic lawmakers left the government shutdown behind Friday on a chartered flight to Puerto Rico for a winter retreat with 109 lobbyists and corporate executives during which they planned to see the hit Broadway show “Hamilton” and attend three parties including one with the show’s cast.
