Re: POTUS 45:47: I Never Said There Was No Collusion!
Both sides are being babies about it now. Trump started it (to continue the point of my post) and the Dems are continuing it. Shutting down the proposals, okay, makes sense, to do otherwise is just giving in, which would be BS. The SOTU? Meh, kinda petty. It's proper and legal and all that, let him have his limelight to spew more BS, and show you're the better person. Let him win the battle, so you can win the war, you know? Choose the points in this storyline where you really come down hard.
How would it be childish for a parent to deny their kid a present when they are having a tantrum?
This is the president having a tantrum over something he could not get passed in congress that his party had a majority in. The money he's asking for, in a single bill, would have easily passed both houses, as it would not require 60 votes. But he could not.
And now he's holding government workers hostage because of his failure.
Somehow, D's not caving into that is being childish?
Worse, why can't you see the rather obvious part that if this works, the odds of him doing this again for a simple policy thing is incredibly high.
Dems are not continuing it- they are offering a 100% solution to the problem- open the government, and then we can talk policy, like it's supposed to be done. How is it that you can't see that?
Lest we forget, the "offer" that the administration offered was 100% BS, as he could not offer something that he has not actually shut down- DACA. The courts (including the SOCTUS) blocked his efforts to stop it. So that "deal" was not actually real, since DACA is back in and working.
And I'm 1000% sure that if Obama did this to fix the ACA in the manner you wanted, you and the rest of you "both siders" would have totally roasted him.
