Why not the full plate? Aren't 42,000,000 poor people worth it?So because we can only provide half a plate instead of a full plate people should starve until such a time as they are REALLY hungry? Talk about the perfect being the enemy of the good.
You're be smelling something else if you'd turn a nose toward all those "no" votes the democrats keep casting that denies SNAP funding, and also to all the federal workers who have to work for no pay and end up going to food banks in order to eat.Aah, yes. So let's let you starve right away by choice. Aah, I can smell the Christian compassion in the air.
Suppose they get that. Then which group will be used as leverage by the democrats to keep the government closed? Will it be airline passengers who die in a plane crash due to too few air traffic controllers on the job? Would that be some nice leverage they'd be willing to use to demonize Trump with?Not sure if that's true, but 30 days of food is better than purposely denying them anything as the Trump admin wants to do.

Before we move the goal post from (X) to --------------> (X) coupled with something non germane. Can we both agree that there is backup money there. Trump et al knows it's there. But are reluctant to execute the law as they are suppose to do.Suppose they get that. Then which group will be used as leverage by the democrats to keep the government closed?

Trump could end the shutdown tomorrow. Such poor leadership is tragic.Retiring Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) called Democrats’ victory margins Tuesday “a red flag to the GOP” and blasted Trump’s refusal to engage with the other party.
Yes, he could succumb to blackmail by a minority, have the bill changed and force the House and Senate to pass the new bill.Trump could end the shutdown tomorrow. Such poor leadership is tragic.
So then it's increasingly larger numbers of passengers who end up stranded at airports.normal nonsense
If not enough airport workers want to work, then the number of flights will be reduce.
None of which makes it a good idea for the Democrats to keep the government closed and keep people suffering.Before we move the goal post from (X) to --------------> (X) coupled with something non germane.

Trump is not a US senator.Trump could end the shutdown tomorrow. Such poor leadership is tragic.
I guess you can't.None of which makes it a good idea for the Democrats to keep the government closed and keep people suffering.
Then you tell me in your own opinion--how many federal workers should go without paychecks, and for how long? How many flights need to be cancelled due to the shutdown making it more dangerous to fly? How many people is it worth going hungry?I guess you can't.
Are you kidding? Republicans are so lock step all he has to do is say the word.Trump is not a US senator.
You don't want him to suddenly become a king, do you? That's the only way he could simply end the shutdown tomorrow. Ending the shutdown requires 5 Democrat votes, something that seems about as likely as pigs flying at this point.
They want to negotiate . It is the American way, or used to be.Yes, he could succumb to blackmail by a minority, have the bill changed and force the House and Senate to pass the new bill.
Schumer could simply vote to continue the government. Democrats want to use blackmail to change legislation.
It is not about “political leverage”. It is about healthcare for those who most need it.Then you tell me in your own opinion--how many federal workers should go without paychecks, and for how long? How many flights need to be cancelled due to the shutdown making it more dangerous to fly? How many people is it worth going hungry?
All just to give the democrats some political leverage?
Answer my question first and then I will be more than happy to opine.Then you tell me in your own opinion--how many federal workers should go without paychecks, and for how long? How many flights need to be cancelled due to the shutdown making it more dangerous to fly? How many people is it worth going hungry?
All just to give the democrats some political leverage?
why?So then it's increasingly larger numbers of passengers who end up stranded at airports.
Remember, it only takes about 5 Democrats to vote yes to put a stop to all this.
