POTUS needs to tweet that it will be the Schumer Shutdown and hang it around his neck.

Hmmm, could it be that after years of searching, the GOP has discovered one cojone? Hopefully, it’ll not be more years before they find another one.

Schumer’s Shutdown is too narrow. Democrat Shutdown. And make it clear that the reason is that they are trying to force the GOP to accept unconditional amnesty for illegal immigrants.

Schumer’s Shutdown flows better than Democrat shutdown.

Yeah but you can’t let the other Dems off the hook by blaming it solely on Schumer.

I do asap. Know too many people that had their identity stolen and fake tax return filed before they got around to filing...... It’s a mess.

Chuckie has always said that the Senate is far above the lowly house.

I'll bet has 50 statements that Schumer has made on immigration reform....and he's going to read them to him.

Schumer should be ashamed of himself for this latest stunt.

Always assume that is not the case and then find some other reason to explain their actions. You’re much more likely to be right.
