SHUTDOWN

Dems have been pumping anchor babies and terrorists into the country for years...now it's all coming to a head.

Hillary won the popular vote

>GOP controls:
>the house
>the senate
>the executive

Daammn, nigga. Them Dems sure be powerful to shut that whole shit down.

Alternatively, you're just a colostomy in desperate need of a bag.

Breeding rats will give you that...fortunately this a representative democracy, not Socialism, so we don't have complete mob rule.

Keep your fucked up teeth out of American politics. The dems are opposing a bill that they agree with just to make the retards in my country think the sky is falling.

This.

wow she won in a metric that doesn't matter great job

>Democrats using a government shutdown as a threat against conservatives

>The dems are opposing a bill that they agree with
A bill that can only be passed by a majority of congress. How, exactly, the fuck can the double minority democrats hold that up?

Because...you muslim shithead...parliamentary procedure is more complex than just having a numerical majority...a Checks and Balances effect, wither reasonable or not.

Because the system is fucked and every little piece of legislation apparently needs a landslide vote to pass. It also doesn't help that factions of the GOP are actively opposing Trump.

RINO.

They got rid of the simple majority, I don't remember why. Every Senate vote needs 60 out of 100 unless they use the "Nuclear Option" to make it back into a simple majority. The minority is also tenuous in Senate because there's also a few progressive Republicucks.

White men sat around doing FUCK ALL for 60 years about it too OP. IMHO white people deserve to live in this multicultural hell hole for showing a complete lack of intelligence, foresight, and courage. It's literally the future white people chose.

The only way anything passes is with 60 votes in the Senate. The "majority" is a weak majority, not a "super majority" which would allow the Republicans to legislate.

When the Hell are "classical liberals" gonna separate from the Democratic Party?

Are the Democrats actually filibustering, though? If they aren't, then this only needs 51 votes (50 with Pence).

It seems to me that the Republicans can't wrangle enough votes on their own side to pass anything. They can't even get to 50, so they're asking the Dems to step in and break their own impasse for them.

The Democrats are demanding a price for bailing out the Republicans, and now the Republicans are trying to blame the Democrats for trying to get something out of the deal. The Republicans think the Democrats should just vote for whatever the Republicans want (which the Republicans can't even agree on).

tldr: the GOP is a dysfunctional mess, and they want to blame the Dems for it.

100% agree with this. The only thing the Republican Party gets done in their current state is to provide the proverbial blowjobs for their rich donors, and for white men to squabble endlessly among themselves for an extra thimble-ful of power and wealth. That's it.

The only pill you need to take is the Acceleration Pill.

The old saying used to be "democracy only works until people realize that they can vote themselves more money"

The new version is "democracy only works until politicians realize that they can legislate themselves more voters"

...

>literally going to not exist in 100 years

>talking shit to americans

stay genocided nigger lover

>What? You have a 52 majority or something! Why don't you just pass the bill with the required 60 votes?
Stay British my failed empire brothers

>X doing Y since Year!
You have to go back

Pretty sure the silent majority didn't want this to happen...they just weren't aware, and the business lobby pushed to allow cheap labor to come in for years: Now it's too late.

Federal Employee here

We got the notice that if its happening, we report for 4 hours on Monday to shut down computers, set up away emails, and batten down everything.

When one is not living paycheck-to-paycheck, its a nice vacation. We gonna get paid when its all over so let the idiots in Congress fight.

The GOP wasted their budget reconciliations to try to nuke health care. I believe this one requires the 60.

You both are right in that Republicans are not agreeing on everything, however, in a rational system where Democrats don't commit treason by importing votes there would be some crossover from either side.

Any insight on child abuse by the political elite?

Captcha: Only MERCADO ("market")

She won by 3 million votes, mostly from ultra high IQ areas such as Manhattan and DC.

Did I word it wrong?

>Leaf trying to say something about American politics
Fuck off hat

Oh....yes you are right. Hold on and I'll change it brother.

Don't Republicans _want_ smaller government? Wouldn't a shutdown be in their interests?

You must be kidding...DC is the blackest, most crime ridden hell-hole outside of Baltimore.

>smaller government
>still believing this GOP meme
They want money diverted to their prioritized government functions like the military. Not a smaller one.

Fixed

>dreamer detected

GOP always wants smaller government
end the IRS
end the Federal Reserve
end the School system
end the 100million needless democrat program jobs

Final.
