First you’re responding to the wrong thread, second they weren’t attacked by liberals. Have you read a single article about the event?

Herein lies the problem. A perspective is unique to each individual. There is not really a right or wrong. Similar to an opinion. Nebe has categorized perspective into good/bad or correct/wrong. There is no other option Nebe, either you are with us or against us? Get some coffee man.

You do understand that Republicans though they lately seem to be a tribe, are a political party, and not a race.
Just checkin

Pete is showing a pulse...you know if they are Republicans then they certainly must be racist. Get out your handbook or have Wayne send you a copy.

Here is a decent explanation of where the Government is at from The Week

How can you tell Trump isn't serious about making a deal? Last year, panicked that the Trump administration was going to start deporting DREAMers — undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children — en masse, Democrats offered terms that lopsidedly favored Trump's position. They offered $25 billion in wall funding in exchange for a long path to citizenship for the DREAMers and new restrictions on family reunification.

Egged on by immigration hardliners, Trump scoffed at the offer, then proceeded to decisively lose a branch of government to his critics. After a destructive, economically ruinous month-long standoff, he consulted exclusively with allies, and on Saturday offered a crummier deal (basically the BRIDGE Act, which contains no path to citizenship at all, as well as massive new restrictions on asylum) to a much-empowered adversary.

Democrats are having none of it.

Imagine trying to sell your house and someone offers you $250,000 for it. Thinking you could do better, you say no. Then the market crashes, your crib bleeds out half its value, and now you decide to call up the prospective buyers and tell them you'll accept no less than $300,000. That's the Trump shutdown strategy in a nutshell.

The splaination is that Trump wants a wall, and despite approving a wall in 2006 and 2013, the dems are suddenly opposed to such a racist, immoral structure.' The agreement to spending is meaningless without the wall.

The GOP, for their part, had two years to get it done and chose not to.

Both sides showing the worst of politics. Nebe had it right, we need to toss them out and elect people who know how to get things done. But we won't, because we care how rich, pretty, and famous they are.

This ain't a one-sided show, much as you want it to be.

Why do you keep saying things that aren’t true?

you can’t differentiate between what’s true, and what serves your agenda. they didn’t support the same exact thing he wants to build, but they supported expansion of physical barriers.

That’s not the same as subscribing to Trump’s campaign promise.

Regardless, funding looks to be a moot issue now

The bottom line is the $20 trillion national debt promises to spiral ever higher with Republicans controlling both Congress and the White House.

“Republicans gave up on caring about deficits long ago,” bemoaned Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who was elected in the 2010 tea party class.

But as always it’s the never their fault

oh, you’re a deficit hawk now. where was that fiscal conservatism from 2009-2016?

i’ve said
many times the gop
is partly to blame for this ( had two years to do it), and i’ve also said that the gop is hypocritical when it comes to debt and deficits. Paul
is correct.
