I think Schumer and Pelosi did a dumb thing not turning up today ........ yes, the meeting with Trump was no more than a photo op but he and the Republicans will play it up as them being unwilling to even meet on urgent business.

Except for the 2.8 million civilians working for the government because I don't see them getting paid after the fact under this administration. I don't really care if the Trump appointees are hurt, but I'm fairly sure my mailman in NJ did nothing to deserve going without pay for weeks if this goes on that long.

OP here -- not sure how to prove to you that I didn't vote for Trump, but I didn't. I also wasn't in love with Obama the way all liberals are.

When you control the WH and Congress, you don't get to blame anyone else for your dysfunction.

It's not like anyone promised them citizenship and now that's being taken away.
I realize there is a GOP majority so if they all get on the same page, a shutdown can be avoided; but I think it will be ludicrous if not one Dem will vote for any budget unless it gives them their preferred solution on DACA bc they are so beholden to the Hispanic vote . . . .
No one cares if you will be "livid." Do you want a cookie?

They do have the votes. They just need to come to agreement. That's not the Dems fault.

Trump is (usually, often, mostly) pro-DACA. He just lacks the guts to anything about it.

I hope they do it. Follow the Tea party antics. Who cares any more? Our country is in the toilet.
