Mitch McConnell and Trump refuse to formally take up passed legislation from the House. We are reaching a point where the damage might be irreversible.

I don’t support republicans and trump, but what is new about this? The house is passing things that the opposing party doesn’t even want to consider voting on, so they kill it. Those are the rules of congress/senate, they are not new. You could place the same disdain on democrats for passing meaningless votes that are just for propaganda. Did Democrats think for a second that the republicans would vote on those bills? Total waste of time and just peacocking

If government was “supposed” to work like that, the rules would have been written like that. I believe each party doesn’t change the rules because they want to wield that power when they are in charge.

Let me reiterate, I don’t support this shutdown, I think this has the power to damage people’s lives (i.e. credit scores), but I don’t see what Republicans are doing as scandalous. If we disagree with their tactics, then we have a chance in 2020 to tell them. We will see if the majority / electoral college agrees

Isn't it funny how ok we are with this system.

The idea is supposed to be the house passes a bill and the senate votes. The Senate lead shouldn't decide what is voted upon or not.

I'm getting my brother autographed Panthers memorabilia for christmas, but I'm the gay son in the family who knows nothing about football... So we've got someone named D.J. Moore, another named Terrance Marshall Jr., Luke Kuechly, and Robbie Anderson. None of these names are doing anything for me, nor do any of the stats mean anything to me when I look up their names on Google. Do any of these names ring a bell to you, and which ones would be the coolest for a signed helmet/jersey?

Supporters of this human pictured below, please shed light on your unwavering support for a strongman wannabe who now believes that a military conflict by a genius is now a crime against humanity? In other news, he's also calling for shady war tactics to incite aggression between China & Russia by using Chinese flags on F-22 jets and then bombing Russia with those jets. This is/was the man to lead the US? Aren't you glad that elections were 'stolen'?
