Again- if it was Obama and he was demanding 6 billion for Climate Change adaptation programs or he would keep the government shut down- would you demand that the GOP negotiate and pony up money? Just checking your consistency…
It’s not about the amount of money. It’s never been about that. It’s about the policy, specifically a giant wall. Democrats wouldn’t vote for it if it cost $1, and there’s next to nothing that Trump, you, or anybody else can do about it. (I say that in a very matter of fact way, not any other way.) Calling Chuck and Nancy will not avail.
I would have to see the actual program the money was going for.
Example if it was for research into extended battery life, or other such programs yes.
if it was 6 billion to just be given to companies that couldn’t provide their services without the huge subsody then NO.
Every case is different. So without having specifics (as in this 6 billion we are talking about SPECIFICALLY would fund a barrier at the southern border) it’s comparing an apple to a empty space.
As far as who’s shutdown this, both parties are to blame. Either could open the government right down. They’re both standing on an issue.
The question really becomes, where do the American people stand on the issue? Things aren’t likely to go well for the party with the minority behind them.
Did you vote for trump? If you did, blame yourself. If you didn’t then I’m sorry, we have a dangerous idiot as president, and you and others like you will pay dearly for his incompetence.
What you’ve already read is about all the sympathy you’re going to get from Trump supporters.
As for myself, I’m sorry for you and I hope it resolves quickly and in your favor. But I have to ask - you clearly believed in Donald enough to vote for him in 2016. Why? His promises were outlandish, exaggerated, and clearly unrealistic:
There will be no wall funded by Mexico.
Hillary will not be prosecuted.
We will never see Trumpcare replace Obamacare, and at a fraction of the cost.
Donald promised you that he was the only one who could give you everything you wanted. Given his past of lying and bankruptcies and lawsuits and cheating and stealing, how did you find yourself able to trust this elitist who has made it clear his entire life he never loved anything or anyone so much as himself?
