It's also pretty funny that this guy seems to think we forgot that Trump stated on national television that he owned the shitdown and wasn't gonna blame the Democrats.
I'm sure there are some "alternative facts" to explain that away.
It's clear the democrats would rather keep the government shut down over 5 billion dollars.
Yeah and they should. They weren't elected to be Trump's toadies. Also, Democrats have already passed the same budget to reopen the government that the Senate unanimously approved last year when the GOP controlled everything. The GOP owns this not the Democrats.
I can understand why when they have people like you blindly supporting them.
Yeah, how dare they follow the will of the voters who elected them. Elections have conseqiences and this is one of them.
I remember several almost government shutdowns where Obama wouldn't sign a budget if something was left out of it. Trump is doing the same thing here, just the republican congress was quicker to fold. (Granted that is easier to stand strong when - regardless of who is in power - the media and people like you will always blame the republicans.)
You mean when we blame the person who said this on national television?
So I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. I’m not going to blame you for it. The last time you shut it down, it didn’t work. I will take the mantle of shutting it down.
Sorry, but this is the Trump shutdown and the majority of Americans agree. Boohoo.
Also why should they give him the $5 billion? The majority of Americans are against the wall and the voters who gave the Democrats those 40 seats in the House want it even less. The toddler should have taken the deal he was offered last year. Now that he has no leverage and the GOP has lost control of the House, Nancy doesn't need to give him anything.
So I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. I’m not going to blame you for it. The last time you shut it down, it didn’t work. I will take the mantle of shutting it down.
So their lowering barriers by enacting higher tariffs against US goods and buying soybeans, amongst other food crops, from other countries? Are you an idiot or really that delusional?
The point being made is that the right is more fiscally conservative than the left.
So that's why Ronald Reagan added 6 times as much to the national debt as his predecessor? Or how Reagan, Bush and Bush Jr. all added more to the debt than under Clinton? Even more funny since Bush Sr. was in office half as long as Clinton.
Even with the recent increase in deficit spending, Republican Congress are historically more conservative than Democrats. Reasonable people can disagree on what an "exploding" deficit is.
So conservative that deficits have gone up nearly 100% in dollar amount more than 60% as a percent of GDP. Yep sounds real "fiscally conservative."
Also, the poster conveniently omitted that every year of full Republican control of Congress from 2015 to 2018 saw increases in deficit spending year-over-year. It's almost as if deficit spending is only bad when Democrats are in charge.
GWB was widely criticized for the steel tariffs by Republicans and many Democrats praised him.
And outside of whinging what did they actually do?
He didn't implement the tariffs out of ideology, but was trying to swing Pennsylvania to red in 2004. He still lost the state by 2%.
Duh. That was my whole point. You tried to tie tariffs to Trumpist ideology or to leftists yet a "mainstream" Republican president was just as happy to levy them when it was politically convenient.
And yet while Democrats were still controlling at least the Senate the deficit as a percentage of GDP went down every year until 2015 when Republicans took over both chambers. From 2015 to 2018 under full Republican control, deficit spending in amount of dollars has nearly doubled ($438 billion to $833 billion) and has grown about 60% percentage of GDP (2.4% to 4.0%) has gone up every year.
Strange how you conveniently left that part out from your link.
Trumpism is an amalgam of the stupidest ideas from both left and right. His protectionist views on trade were a big reason for the "Never Trump" movement by traditional conservatives.
So Dubya was a Trumpist when he levied steel tariffs in 2002?
Bernie's support for protectionism was very popular with the left.
Yes, so popular that none of his ideas have ever been implemented.
Exactly. Just like how the Right is supposedly fiscally conservative. That must be why deficits have exploded under 2 years of Republicans controlling every lever of government. It's amazing how easily the Republican party has duped people like ShanghaiBill with empty soundbites.
How is it a marketing stunt? 64-bit iOS is for using the improved AArch64 instruction set that came with the ARMv8 architecture. Next time you might want to actually know what you're talking about before spewing random bullshit.

Sorry, but this is all on the Toddler-In-Chief.
Good for him.
Oh and to quote the MAGAtard line used after 2016: "Elections have consequences."
Because they are no longer the minority party in the House and Trump lost all his leverage. That's what you get when you throw a tantrum.
Schumer and Pelosi offered him $25 billion for the wall last year and he turned it down. WINNING!

Deutsche Telekom is an American company?
Sort of like expecting China to adhere to American standards on IP law?

But then how would Trump's US golf courses be able to keep hiring undocumented workers?
We are simply making it hard for scum to get in.
Yeah like the Irish and Italian scum. Oh and before that the Chinese scum.
You know-nothing, nationalists can't ever seem to make up your mind on who the "scum" is supposed to be.
ShanghaiBill doesn't let facts get in his way.

while the Right tends to favor free trade ... so this is a case of leftists being leftists.
I didn't realize that Larry Kudlow and Trump were leftists. Guess you learn something new every day.
Fast food?
Because this isn't just about the NDK.
