I suppose Fat Ass thinks with a shutdown, the polling places will be empty, and cheating will be easier for him?
Every time there is a shutdown, the Republicans get their asses handed to them.
The dems should put out a funding bill that includes the border bill that the Republicans killed and promote the fuck out of it.
again? they really shouldn't have the first time. But you know how it is. the farther the republicans go to to crazy-town, the further right the dems go.
Oh noes. the republicans are scared of democracy and will shut down the gooberment! fuck that. let them shut it down and run adds explaining why the border is less secure with the shut down. (and why goverment services that their constituents depend on are no longer being taken care of... and everything else.)
Dems right now are just pushing for a clean CR that continues funding without any other conditions attached to it
And if history is any indication, they will likely get it
