    That is terrorism. Using pain, and fear, to shove folks into accepting things that will harm them in the long run.

    Yes, something the Democrats sought to do just a few short weeks ago.

    Trump lies about everything. I have never experienced anything like this.

    Lies really bother the left. Like...
    If you like you Dr you can keep him/her.
    Your insurance rates would go down $2500 a year.
    Marriage is between a man and a woman.
    Closing Guantanamo Bay.
    Expanded Bush's patriot act.
    Lied about he was going to be the most transparent president ever.
    Lied about putting healthcare discussions on C-Span.
    Stated he was Christian, then a Muslim, which is it?
    Lied about voter intimidation.
    Lied about supporting the 2A.
    Lied about tax increases not effecting poor and middle class.
    Lied about simplifying the tax code.
    Lied about waiting 5 days before voting on a bill.
    Lied stimulus would be transparent.
    Lied about spending after stating Bush was unpatriotic for debt then doubled the debt.

    There are plenty more but it got old. A lie is a lie, right?

    Lies bother Republicans like me, also. Your guy lies about the little things. Obama made statements before he was elected, promises made provided all things being equal. They all do. Once he was in office, he did what was necessary to protect our country--Guantanamo, patriot act, supported 2A not unconditionally, debt increase, marriage thing. Everything he tried to do was short stopped by the Congress. Never stated that he was a Muslim-you did. And who cares what he is?
    Trump lies about the little things, says one thing today and another thing tomorrow, accuses others of lying when they are truthful.
    Every day. Makes statements that are obviously "fake."
    Let's not get into who said he said. Trump is the president, not Obama, not Bill Clinton or Hillary. The guy is as inept as they come.

    :There is proof this is not accurate.


    I know what you are talking about. That's what happens when you can't make your own country a better place to live.

    For me, it is the same, though the point is moot, now.

    Between my wife and I, Trump put $2400 a year in our account. Barry never do anything but make everything more expensive. He’s going to secure the border. The economy is kicking. Taxes, economy and the wall equal a superb start to this presidency and Hillary would have been more of Obozo the clown nonsense. Too bad you all are so full of bind hatred you can’t even see it. You all are alone. Even the left wing media is unable to destroy Trump and people are seeing what he is doing. Trump!

    I am not filled with hatred. I fear for our country's future with Trump in office. Don't be so gushy about your $2400. Does that include the $1000 bonus? Remember that it expires in 2 years.

    I don't know your overall status but if a bill is passed today it will be ok in the short run but there will lots of pain down the road. Both sides are caving in but at what cost to all of us. I'm already in pain and fearful because this government wants me to accept things that I know are going to be painful in the long run.

    Rand Paul is holding up the vote right now, but what he has to say is interesting.

    Sen. Rand Paul told CNN's Erin Burnett tonight that he is not trying to cause a government shutdown.

    "No, not really," the Kentucky Republican said. "My plan is or my position is that this issue is so big and so important that it deserves to be debated. That we shouldn't have a closed debate."

    Paul said the whole thing is filled with hypocrisy.

    "The other thing is there is a huge hypocrisy factor here," he said. "Republicans lambasted President Obama to no end for trillion dollar deficits and now they have put forward a trillion dollar deficit. And I don't know I think the American people are going to be surprised, upset, hurt that so the so-called conservatives got elected and turned out not to be much different than the people they were criticizing."

    the only reason republican won is because they ran such a sad candidate like Trump that no one thought could possibly win, so many did not bother voting, dems will not make that mistake again...

    Sorry, but that's nonsensical. Are you saying Republicans nominated Trump thinking he'd lose?

    The truth is that President Trump again is tweaking the D's for refusing to secure the border and protect US citizens.

    You didn't answer the question. Why is Trump threatening a shutdown "tweaking" but when the Democrats do it, it's a bad thing?

    What shutdown ??

    The D’s actually did shut down the government by placing the welfare of non citizens over citizens.

    The one Trump threatened and the one last night. Dude, you are free to play all the word games you like. It's a free country.

    Still waiting for someone to explain to me why it's okay for Trump to threaten shutdown but not the Democrats. Feel free to jump in AFM...or not.
