Yes the Democrats want a government shutdown tonight.
Gov funding is expiring at midnight !!
Lots of chaos if this happens.
The House passed a funding bill yesterday.
The Senate may vote today or tonight.
BUT, Democrats are stalling because they want a DACA deal inserted !!
SO, that means Democrats will use all pawns available to get their anti-Trump messages in the limelight.
One pawn is the CHIP funding. Democrats are using "The Children" as pawns.
Dirty jilted Democrats on a war-hammer binge again and again.
DaaaaHaHaHa
The clocks are tiking and Democrats are failing.

I could understand dems not voting for this if it had things it it they opposed.
For example, if this budget said that dreamers would be deported, or something like that, then I would at least think their argument would make sense for not voting for it.
Its like dems said "we want chip funded, we want health care taxes delayed, and we want government empoyees funded"
Republicans are like "OK here is a bill that does just that"
And dems say "Well no, we wont vote for it. Now we have a new list of things we demand. And if you dont agree to these new demands, its YOUR fault that this doesnt get passed."
Unbelievable.

I think you're mistaken there Trump can run the entire government on executive orders. You do realize the dollar in it's current form rests entirely on executive orders right?

It will be interesting to see what happens when the Democrats non-working base don’t get their Government checks thanks to the liberals in Congress. If you take away their Government subsidized beer and cigarettes things will get nasty real fast for the Dems.

I want Daca to go through they need it. I get that democrats want to carry this water I'm OK with that again they should. But shutting down the government putting illegals above American citizens I have a problem with that. They are hurting childen who are all ready Americans to push legalizing non citizens. How can anyone argue illegals intrests should out weigh the need of citizens. This us a huge mistake on dems behalf thinking people will be OK with this. People want to help DACA people but not at the expense of hurting others.

No because the main stream media is a branch of the democratic party, and they will convince people this is the republicans fault.
The dems are voting against a budget that they support everything in, because they want to add a non related ussue, and the main stream media will someone try to twist this to being trumps fault.

Poor guys. This thing called leadership is harder than they thought.
Yeah you would think having a majority in every single branch of government would preclude blaming the opposition for their failings.
Alas...
