I doubted it was possible, but Dems have actually lost a shutdown fight. Schumer has agreed to end the filibuster in exchange for practically nothing. Make no mistake: Schumer & Dems caved. What a political fiasco.

I suspect it has something to do with the Media arm of the DNC doing THIS to Senators on LIVE TELEVISION.
Their narrative that it was a Trump Shutdown, despite the best efforts of the idiot leftwits on Twitter and elsewhere, wasn’t playing in thinking America.
So, Schumer caved.

The trash people from CNN are dumb fuc
It’s 45° here in S.E. Mich right now so I’m pretty sure hell hasn’t frozen over. Perhaps ratings and public opinion has finally woken them up?
I’m getting so tired of all this winning. Please Mr. Trump, make it stop, I can’t take the winning! /sarc
And this is what happens when you stand up to the bullies and fight back. Dems must be in panic mode. Hey Ryan, still think it wasn’t productive to fight to ensure Americans knew exactly what the shutdown was about?!

I’d like to hope that the spineless fucks in the GOP would take a lesson from Trump in this situation, but I know they won’t. They’ll still try to cave to scumbag democrats, fuck over Trump, and screw US citizens every chance they get because they still have their residual Stockholm syndrome from the Obama years, on top of being spineless fucks to begin with.
If you think the Dems look bad imagine being Lindsey right about now. I hope he’s on suicide watch. Loser.
I still wonder what Trump said to Schumer on Friday.
Don’t worry about Lindsey, she’ll be fine.
Guess getting the schmucks up for re-election to vote against shutdown couldn’t keep Americans from recognizing Democrat duplicity. #SchumerShutdown
All of intelligent SC hangs their head in shame over Lindsay the Graham cupcake.
They saw the internal poll numbers and crapped their pants. Even CNN’s own rigged poll (posted here the other day) show Americans want the Govt open overwhelmingly vs. DACA.
#MAGA!!!!!
Schmuckles the Clown just got Trumped!
This was round one, where the opponents threw a few punches to see if the other can do the distance.
Mark my words, they fully intend to get DACA (800,000) while giving as little as possible then they’re going to swing for the fences for DAPA for the parents and relatives here illegally. The rest of the dreamers for 3.7 million. Then wave good-bye to CA and the SW. Maybe we’ll be able to hang on to Texas, but they’re working hard to flip it.
Here in DC on “Day 3” all the Smithsonian’s are open. I’m in one now.
The Mall, the outdoor WW2 Memorial, all open. Park rangers are visible. Secretary Zinke was reportedly out personally welcoming visitors over the weekend.
Only sign of “shutdown” so far is some of the outdoor Mall public restrooms are closed.
Quite a contrast with the intentional premeditated Chaos of the Obama 2013 Punitive Shutdown.
Looks like Schumer is caving.
Shmuck.
7 more years. Go PDT. MAGA.
THANK YOU President Trump for not caving to the demoncrap/globalist traitors!!
The internal polling must have sucked big league.
Democrats always push too hard and too far. Now, no matter what, they will have this pointless shutdown hanging around their neck like a millstone.
Trump won the messaging war. A first for a Republican.
Had a nice dinner with longtime Lefty Dem friends last night. Quite a change in their attitude towards PDT after one year.
They now concede he’s been great for the stock market (doh) and their investments.
The tax cuts will benefit them also. They concede grudgingly that PDT has been good for the US economy, and that Saint Obama in retrospect was not so great for either the economy or foreign policy. (They still love Obama and keep inventing new excuses for him).
They still despise the GOP but have reluctantly concluded that just maybe, Trump is not “literally” Hitler after all.
And for the first time, the Dem wife ventured the notion that just possibly Chain Migration “needs to have some limits” because “you just can’t let everyone bring in their whole village with them”.
Wow.
Progress.
Oh and although they think Trump’s tweets are “unpresidential”, their careers require them to read them to stay informed.
So PDT is reaching them directly and unfiltered, no matter what spin MSNBC puts on it later that evening.
#Winning.
The rinos cant stand Trump repeatedly proving the rats can be outsmarted and out maneuvered. This shatters their past history of excuses for surrendering on every fight before they ever even began. Now the rinos fear a precedent has been set for actually doing things. They were used to a winning strategy of just making promises and ending it there.
Newsflash to the doubters::: Trump does not want amnesty for these murdering savages and their clans, so there will be none. Regardless of what the rinos want. They will take what he offers and give what he wants, period. Shut it down again Scumbag Chuck, lets see you do it.
I didn’t think President Trump would back down. It’s not his style. After all, he knows “The Art of the Deal,” and he’s in it to WIN!
Something doesn’t quite pass the smell test.
A pal of mine at the EPA was told Friday afternoon that everyone in the office was to report for work today at their regular times.
Is suspect this “Shutdown” was another act of Kabuki Theatre in Washington, DC.
I call bullsh!t on all of them!
Naming it the Schumer Shutdown was pure genius.
“I see that the white liberals in the US Senate folded like a cheap suit.
Note that if any of the other sixteen GOP candidates had somehow reached the presidency, the GOP would have caved like the obsequious little bitches that they are.
This is a case study in why Trump was the only rational choice for non-liberals in 2016. Never Trumper Republicans simply favor weak GOP candidates that are easily intimidated by democrats, liberals, racial & ethnic minorities, women, illegal aliens, etc.
I still don’t understand the white conservative Never Trumper love affair with failed strategies. But I understand they’re not to be taken seriously because they’re simply not serious people and are not equipped to engage the white liberals. They’re garbage and she be treated as such. Throw them away.”
The last shutdown , my favorite local BLM Ranger ended up cleaning toilets. Hope he gets the same job this go around.
Anonymous guy above, great comment!
It’s time for all Americans to pile-on Dem bastards! Get. Out!
Friday the Dems pull the same old recipe out of the book.
Saturday President Trump (Man I Love Saying That) pulls a whole new rabbit out of the hat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xOH6cKdhmg
Proving that he is not playing by the same tired old rules of the past.
The Hard ball has indeed been thrown.
Shine the light and watch the cuckroaches (sic) scatter!!!!!
They folded like a cheap suit knowing that they lost bigly.
GIVE THEM SOME CREDIT!
Some of the Republicans tried to blink repeatedly during this stare down, but Trump kept their eyes open with match sticks.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
