Shutdown Showdown

Published: Jan. 22, 2018, 12:49 p.m.

Government shutdown drama. Inexcusable that the military & border patrol isn't paid - but Congress is paid during shutdown. Shutdown will remain largely unnoticeable for most Americans. Schumer Shutdown. Political theater. What's DACA got to do with this? The filibuster is supposed to keep debate open on an issue, so why aren't they on the Senate floor debating? Setting the threshold at 60 votes. We need to end short-term "CRs" and come up with responsible, long-term budget. What needs to happen here? Outrageous claims about government shutdown. CNN guest afraid an asteroid may wallop earth during the shutdown? Diane Feinstein tells us people could die during shutdown. No time to talk about Hillary, text messages & the FBI.
