somehow it did, trump would veto it.

In other words the same situation you say would exist no matter how we do in 2018, would apply today

McConnell will stab Schumer like he did with Reid.

Donnie wants to go to Davos and Mitch is doing his best to save his Image.

looks like what many have suspected is about to happen. Looks like Schumer has released enough votes to make the CR pass. You just know,McConnell will stab the Dems in the back. Schumer's language just confirmed it.

Elections have consequences, the f**king republicans have total control of the government at this time.

Please don't blame democrats for that fact, what the hell can they do but protest and organize for the future?

Shitler and his party have all the power and that's all there is to it. More people should have gotten off their damn sofa and voted last year.

They didn't so now we pay the price. It sucks but reality does lots of the time.

I blame a minority of Americans of a racist persuasion that have taken over the country.

I just hope people don't lose hope come 2018 election day.
