Good, we can stick on that hashtag then, are there any other anti-trump tags we could hijack that fit this? We want to be able to make them uncomfortable and either
>Force them to side with trump on this >Force them to defend democrats and look like hypocrites
Either one of those is really going to cause some severe cognitive dissonance. If they side with schumer they'll be redpilling normies on the lefts hypocrisy as well.
Kevin Baker
The Republicans control both Houses of Representatives, the Senate, the White House, and the Supreme Court. They refuse to pass bipartisan bill because it doesn't include Trump's stupid wall that is a huge waste of money. How is not their fault?
Ryan Morgan
Also. Show videos of schumer back in 2013 saying he wouldn't shut down the gov. over immigration. youtube.com/watch?v=lqXaPYiXoGc
Landon Campbell
I know they are truly conniving bastards when you peel off that shit eating "think of the poc children" veneer. To actually take the gloves off and expose themselves is a whole new level of retardation. Don't they realize their rabid base has drunk way too much kool-aid and there are no brakes on this SJW train. They have just committed seppuku to themselves and my sides.

Connor Foster
it's pretty impressive, they just threw a huge majority of US children under the bus for whatever secondary agenda they have. What the fuck was in that bill?
Blake Price
I think the shutting down gov over illegals is an angle that will work better with people on the right. I think what will get the left whipped up in a frenzy is the fact that dems are defunding the healthcare bill.
Ayden Howard
Those poor Black and white children do not mean as much to Dems as Illegals immigrants and DACA.
Luke Collins
There you have it folks. The 5th column party of traitors who will choose illegal job-stealing disloyal foreigners over the health and well-being of your fellow citizens.
Hope the dems burn hard for this.

Joe Biden calling out millennials was big red pill. This is just icing on the cake.

That's not how it works. You can't just shut down a government just because you couldn't pass a bill. That's petty behavior.

>CHIP funding is the number one issue for American voters overall, according to a recent poll by Politico and the Harvard University School of Public Health. I wonder when the last real poll was conducted in the US using any kind of sound methodology. Probably decades ago.
Joshua Williams
>Trump supported it >Many republicans supported it >Almost all of the dems said no
how is it trumps fault that the dems dont want healthcare for children?
Enough republicans voted in favor of it that if the dems had voted for it the bill would have passed, the dems ran on a campaign based around healthcare for children, and now they're defunding it.
It makes sense the republicans would say no because it was not part of their platform
Nicholas Hall
they're opposing it because they don't want dreamers to be deported
the gop controls the entire federal government and can't even pass a fucking budget, lol literally the first time in US history one party has dropped the ball this hard
Sebastian Wilson
>Trump supported it
How can you blame the other party for how the gov't is being run when you control both houses of Congress, and the White House? That is dumb as fuck.

Wow its almost as if the republicans have other goals but enough of them wanted to compromise (despite it not being part of their running platform and they have other obligations to fulfill) that it could have worked and the dems threw that out the window
Gabriel Lopez
Just rolls off the tongue
Daniel Torres
A leftist that can't do basic math. No surprise there.

They're ACTUALLY willing to defund children's health insurance to promote foreigner's interests over American workers. How the fuck could anyone vote Democrat after this?

You're right. How's this: DemsPreferIllegals

See You need 60 votes. Dems are being petty, there isn't anything in this bill that is absurd that they need to block it. They are just trying to push DACA.

Remember the last "shutdown", where spending on security and barriers actually went up as Obama closed off monuments and parks and breakdown lanes so people couldn't look at a mountain from a distance? I don't see Trump pulling that petty shit.
Brayden Russell
How does the Democrat party still exist.
Brody James
It baffles me. Plenty of republicans were willing to divert funding towards CHIP despite having campaign goals and an obligation to republican voters, they were still ready to support it.
The dems who ran on a PLATFORM BASED ON FUCKING HEALTHCARE almost unanimously decided AGAINST having CHIP.
The dems dont even want to fucking fulfill the obligation they have to the people who voted for them.

Was it an omnibus bill? Was there any strings attached to it? If not why did the dems vote against it?

Health care is a dead issue anyway. Insurance is fraud. Doctors are drug pushers. Poison and death. The best thing you can do for your health is to stay away.

Wow user. It's almost like they actually want to destroy this nation via demography. Why would that be the case?
Anthony Bell
haha wow, please kill yourself. Letting 800,000 useless people come in + 3.2 million of their family members somehow "costs the economy billions?" Thanks for your retarded input, shareblue
Not even pro immigration, the bill is just horrendous
Colton Brown
And also saves billions. Plus, it's ridiculous to shut down the government just because they were unable to pass a bill they wanted.
Landon Peterson
I'm not even a Republican. I am anti-capitalist and libertarian. All I don't understand why the Democrats seemingly care more about foreigners and making it easier for low skilled people to immigrate to the US over benefits for the already struggling population. Why should we take in more people if we can't even take care of the people here? Why can't you just fucking pass the DACA and fund CHIP AND end chain migration/visa lottery/implement merit based immigration? How is that radical? I honestly don't get it.

Robert Collins
#schumershutdown seems to be the one we're using. Does anyone know if there are any good anti-trump tags we can hijack?
Chase Barnes
I don't think you get the big picture here. Amnesty give a lot of incentives for illegal immgration, that is why illegal immigration exploded after the 86 amnesty. And I'm not even talking about the demographics.
Adrian Harris
because they're trying to pass both DACA and CHIP extensions and not just CHIP because allowing DACA to expire would be a fucking disaster
Ethan Roberts
What's the significance in caring about a nation's economy if you don't have say over who lives in that nation?
Why should you care about anything more than what it costs you? The nation's economy may benefit (assuming you are correct), but the "nation" that benefits is a fundamentally different one under the two different scenarios.
You are a boomer, and I can smell you from here. Haven't you ruined the West enough for one generation?

democrats literally have a bill co-authored by Graham and flake that does EXACTLY THAT and trump won't sign it because he isn't getting 100% of his wall funding
Luke Bailey
The only way I can think of is they think of themselves as "world citizens" with an obligation to the global poor, and still delude themselves into thinking the American Dream exists and this is the same open frontier it was in the 1900s.
What about compromise? The Republicans want an immigration reform, most of the country does. It's clear something needs to be done for years now. I hate the GOP, but I think they're mostly right about immigration. They want a compromise, they pass DACA if you pass ending the visa lottery, ending chain migration, building a border wall/fence (this one is kinda stupid but it is a promise he made to the base and we have the 2006 Secure Fence Act authorizing it) and instituting a merit based system.

Asher Baker
Why would it be a disaster? CHIP is something that a bipartisan majority of both parties want. Instead of being a petty bitch because you can't get your cake and eat it to they should pass the fucking bill without value adding. Withholding it because republicans across the board want to get rid of DACA (A campaign promise they made, that a majority of Americans voted for) is wrong.
Dems have an obligation to their voters to get the healthcare, GOP have an obligation to their voters to let the DACA expire.
