Please gc. The GOP don't control every branch.
They are a coalition with the tea party. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OK gc, how many Senators have to pass the bill to continue funding the government? Don't know...or does that little fact not fit the political narrative of Progressives.
60 Senators! How many Republicans Senators are their? Please do the math! Oh by the way...Scoreboard! I believe the Schumer shutdown was an accurate name or appellation to this whole debacle.

It's a bit moot now, but...
Donald Trump, 2013 Your argument would also be a lot more convincing if not for the fact that there were insufficient Republican votes to pass the 50 votes threshold. |

Your statement has always been true. A minority party has always had the ability, provided they are at least 40 in number, to filibuster legislation in the senate. It remains the case, no party with majority control over the House and Senate and control over the White House has ever walked themselves into a government shutdown. and make no mistake, the GOP caused this. A majority of THEIR OWN voters support passing a DACA bill. The president promised he would sign one on national television. His own party brought him a bipartisan deal to approve that would have averted the entire mess. What happened? "SHITHOLE COUNTRIES!" Boom. Deal blown up. Shutdown. For absolutely no good reason whatsoever.
The majority of the country doesn't agree with you. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/01/ ... ats-357357 "Scoreboard!". |

Notable that something this important qualifies as a footnote in the annals,of the great Trump Admin dumpster fire, but...

Looks like all the GOP members of House Intel committee just voted to release the Nunes memo, but voted to refuse to allow the memo debunking it to be shown to the public.
Then the GOP members informed the Democratic ones they were opening an investigation into the DOJ/FBI. Multiple reports out that McCabe was forced out as acting FBI director due to pressure from Trump and his allies. Initial leaks of memo content are Nunes is trying to smear Rosenstein with it, the one guy they have to get rid of to then take out Mueller and end the Russia investigation. We are watching the systematic dismantling of law enforcement checks and balances on this administration. You know, those checks and balances certain members on this board told us were the reason we didn't have to worry about Trump's blatant authoritarian/dictatorial inclinations. |

Aparently, the Trump administration has decided it can ignore non-discretionary acts of congress, acts that the President signed.

There is a legal process the House must follow to declassify documents. Step 1 the Intel committee votes up or down to allow the entire House to view. Step 2 the full House votes to release to the public or not. The full House has had the FISA memo for a few days and now that they've reviewed it they voted to release it to the public. The 2nd memo was written after the first memo and thus it is one step behind. Today the committee voted to move it forward to full House review. It can't be released publically because the full House hasn't read it yet. Give them a couple of weeks to review it before moving on to wide conspiracy theories. Re the rest. Exercise some patience and wait to read the thing. It's been approved for release so you'll see it this week. (Normally I'd say tomorrow but the State of the Union may result in delays). That way you can comment on what it says in context instead of half-baked speculation. |

Russia Sanctions. Today is the deadline. They are *legally required* to enact them. They just refused to do it. |
