Nerves fray as shutdown talks at impasse

Source: The Hill

Talks between Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) and congressional Republican leaders have broken down, raising anxieties among lawmakers on both sides of the aisle about finding a way to end the government shutdown.

Schumer had not spoken to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) or Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) as of 8 p.m. Saturday evening, the shutdowns first day.

Neither side showed any signs of backing down when the Senate adjourned Saturday evening without a deal in sight.

While both sides are furiously playing the blame game, McConnell thinks he has the upper hand and plans to raise pressure on Democrats by forcing votes on resolutions to reopen the government.

AS the turtle tries to reinforce the right wing message, the turtle said this little tidbit of right wing BS on the message of getting advice:

"I think our friends on the other side took some bad advice, really bad advice. I would hate to have to be trying to explain this myself, he added."

NEIL GORSUCH asshole, you know the one where you and your party decided to rewrite the Constitution...........

This is more than about helping human beings like 200,000 El Salvadorans that might be sent to Qatar, which doesn't have austere record when it comes to labor and human beings having there passports confiscated turtle, did you think of that turtle............

Strike three turtle,

Just because your an asshole and so is the Paul "ayn rand" Ryan asshole

10. Senator Schumer should do nothing. Who is in charge here? Make the Republicans negotiate.
