    I don’t like that 10 dnc senators voted yes, but I absolutely place 100% of the blame on the GOP.

    Reminder that failure to pass a resolution by the 14th, within 4 days of its introduction on the 10th, would automatically trigger government shutdown and recess of congress, giving Trump even more authority to discontinue payments to government programs and offices. It was made law on the 15th of March. Republicans left no room for negotiation.

    Any Democrat is better than Any Republican.

      Ah yes so just let them shut down the government for the most vunerable americans, and let the part that throws people in jail run free. This is good because instead of everyone hurting, only the people republicans want to hurt are hurting. The rest of the population is free to ignore fascism and go about their normal day.

      This brilliant strategy brought to you by people who need to color code morality!

          I’m talking about the Continuing resolution. Here have a read and let me know if you want to discuss it. I’m not sure what you’re talking about, but I am certain you have not read the CR, and I’m suspicious you do not understand how government opperates.

          I mean guy like its the money trump is using to fund all the executive orders, wtf are you going on about?

            Yes, talking about the CR vote, as was I in my previous comment when I gave a precise timeline of the events surrounding the bill you just linked to.

            To be clear the CR cuts funding, but a government shutdown would have cut the funding regardless.

              It didn’t cut funding. It expanding funding leading up to next years funding bill. It also expanded executive powers needlessly. Vaguely worded clauses that will be used for more executive overreach. So ya. Shutting down the government for a week or two to force a bipartisan CR, and showing the american people what it looks like when they cut half the government for tax cuts this summer.

                Non-Defence spending decreased 13 Billion with the CR compared to last year.

                I would have preferred the shutdown, but don’t act like it would have accomplished needed goals in opposing the Budget or the Executive Branch.

                  Ah sorry I only saw the 6 Billion dollar increase in spending on the defense side.

                  But ya saving 13 billion by what slashing IRS, and critical enforcement that would have also been shut down? Like thats the point. They’re cutting critical services and allowing more executive overreach. We’re just gonna stand by all year and watch them strip us of all our resources and leave us with crippling debt. This is foreshadowing for the next round of cuts and taxbreaks.
