Democrats Are Con Artists

Dumocrats are criticizing Trump because with a few exceptions, he can't seem to get any legislation through, while THEY are the biggest obstacle to that. The "government shutdown," for instance: Both sides know that if they don't come up with something, there is going to be a mythical "government shutdown." That has been a Dumocrat scam for forever. They keep making it impossible to get a long-term budget bill in place because then they would be stymied by the "caps" on spending that attach themselves to a regular budget bill, but not to the "temporary," short-term "band aid bills" they always (usually) pass "just in time." The Republicans always get the blame.

SCHUMER'S WH MEETING: Dumocrat Senator Schumer left the White House after being summoned for a meeting with President Trump. He actually bypassed the cameras that were set up, which is very unlike him. Bob Dole once said that "the most dangerous place for anybody to be is between Schumer and a camera." He actually looked beaten as he got into his SUV, He did stop for he cameras at the Congress building after he had had a chance to collect himself, where he said they "had a long and productive meeting." What that means is anybody's guess.

BACKGROUND CHECKS FUTILE? I read an article that tells us that background checks ARE futile. Something intelligent people already knew, but anti-gun fools do not. They talk about increased gun thefts being responsible, and they are--in part. But they are only a small part of the problem. The theory is that if a registered gun owner knows his name is on a list, he will think twice about using his gun in a crime. Which ignores, entirely, the fact that people who wish to do criminal acts do not register their guns, nor submit to a background check. They just buy their guns illegally in a back alley somewhere, or just steal it.

GOV. CLOSURE WAS ON! Dumocrats got the government "closed" so they could blame Republicans for it. But it didn't go as well as it usually does. Schumer goes in front of Congress with a beautifully prepared sign (days early) saying, "Trump government closure." Which tells me they PLANNED to see to it the government "closed." But is it? Certain "non-essential" government employees are "furloughed," and don't get paid (until later). National Parks are still open, but FREE because there aren't enough people there to collect and handle the money. Air Traffic Controllers are still getting paid and are at their respective work stations. But this time the GOP is fighting back, effectively. And it only lasted 3 days before the Dumocrats caved.

GOP CONTROLS DC: They control all three branches of government, but they can't seem to avoid a Dumocrat-engineered "government shutdown." Why is that? It's simple; before any vote can be taken in the Senate, there must be a "procedural vote" that takes 60 votes, to ALLOW them to vote on the real issue, which only requires 51 votes. And Dumocrats stick together like "tar babies" to make SURE no procedural vote will allow a vote on the issue involved. Since the GOP only has a 51 vote majority, they can't do anything about it unless they get some Dumocrats to go along with them. And that ain't gonna happen. Until they caved.

CONGRESS ALWAYS GETS PAID: It's the LAW! Whenever the government "shuts down," Congress MUST be paid. They made it a "sure thing" that they wouldn't suffer with other government employees in a "shutdown." This law must be repealed. But there isn't one chance in hell it ever WILL be, The "shutdown" stops our military from getting paid, but not the people who ENGINEER the shutdown. And to expect the very people who benefit to stop that benefit is futile. Congress always exempts itself from the problems they foist upon the rest of us. One example is the "gold trimmed" health care they receive vs. the crap they foist on us.
