Shutdown fight turns ugly as both sides dig in
Source: The Hill
Republican and Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill lashed out at each other on Day One of the government shutdown Saturday, trading barbs and casting blame as a resolution to the funding impasse seemed nowhere in sight. The rhetoric took a harsh turn, with Democrats complaining that President Trump is an erratic, unreliable negotiating partner and Republicans bemoaning Democrats’ intransigence over what the GOP sees as unreasonable immigration demands. “Both sides are dug in. … I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re here tomorrow,” Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) told The Hill after huddling with fellow House Democrats in the basement of the Capitol. Both chambers are in session Saturday — a rare weekend workday when many lawmakers were griping about risking vacation plans and overseas trips. But no votes are scheduled to reopen the government as the sides continue to air their grievances in press conferences and on cable news shows.

it's gonna be a long one.
The blame is squarely on dump's obese shoulders. He agreed to a bipartisan immigration deal with Graham and Durbin, then reneged after kelly and the other hard-right kooks in the White House got hold of him. Of course, they didn't have to do much persuading since they were playing to his innate racism and desire to coddle the loony racist base.  |
