Democrats Cave In To Trump To Stop Government Shutdown

Democrats Cave To Trump To Stop Government Shutdown

The USA does things differently than over here in the UK and each year they have to fund the government so it can keep going.

The odd thing is that even though they are voting on one thing they can add extra unrelated "pork" into bills to get Senators and Congressmen to support them.

So a bill to protect wildlife in a certain part of the USA might have extra parts added such as money to fund Israel or Veterans. Totally unrelated stuff.

This recent bill fight to keep the government open only a few weeks saw the Republicans demand dozens of things related to their border wall and the Democrats who could have just said no, not until you fund the DREAMERS. These are the DACA recipients that allow people who came here illegally or were born here, never seeing their homeland to stay.

Many are in the military or doing jobs Americans don't want to do.

However from a position of strength the Democrats who could have said "No we will not give you  one vote to fund the Government until we get funding for DACA have caved in like the weaklings they are."

They bent over to their corporate overlords who they now take money from as well as decisions on policies. These corporate Democrats obviously did what their election funders wanted them to do and caved in allowing Trump to get what he wanted whilst they only got a "promise" of a vote on DACA.

Obviously Trump went straight to Twitter to gloat that the Democrats had caved and it just shows how weak a party they really are at the moment.

It also shows what sort of President Trump is when he thinks policy and rebuttals are for him to make himself from his own Twitter account and not official press releases.

The US Senate and House of Representatives voted Monday to approve a short-term budget resolution, putting an end to the partial shutdown of the federal government that began midnight Friday night. The deal leaves 800,000 DACA recipients without protection in what amounts to a total capitulation by Democrats to Trump and the Republicans.

The Senate passed the three-week “continuing resolution,” authorising federal government spending through February 8, by a vote of 81-18, with large majorities of both big-business parties supporting the bill: 48-2 for Republicans, 33-16 for Democrats.

It seems as if the Democrats, even from a position of strength just don't know how to play politics anymore.

The TRUTH about BREXIT from Stefan Molyneux

The TRUTH about BREXIT from Stefan Molyneux

This is a talk about BREXIT from the anarcho-capitalist and secular libertarian Stefan Molyneux about what he sees as the major reason and point of the EU referendum - migration and the right of English people to keep England English.

You may not agree with his view of multi-culturalism but he does show us how the number of migrants from within the EU and outside the EU has been wildly under-estimated by comparing the Governments projections and estimated figures with the number of National Insurance numbers given out.

This reveals a staggering discrepancy between the Governments projections and the actual number of workers who have come here over the last decade.

His video has the following write up:

On June 23rd, 2016, the United Kingdom determines if it will leave the European Union to re-embrace national sovereignty.

While there are economic scare stories, concerns about international trade complications and fears about the United Kingdom becoming isolated on a world stage – make no mistake that upcoming EU Referendum vote is truly now about Immigration and the European Migrant Crisis.

Has his views changed your mind on voting?

Do you want to continue to live in an "English" England or don't you mind that we are being lied to by our Government about the current levels of migration.

Is a multi-cultural country ideal in your eyes or can you remember the times before the free movement of people when people could get council houses, doctors surgeries were not lotteries to get seen by a doctor at, jobs were not competitions with large numbers of people all willing to work for less than you, and you could walk down certain London districts and still know you were in England.

Is it racist to think like that or is there nothing wrong with wanting to go back to a time where the country shared a cultural identity?

Don't forget to vote at the top and let us know what you think of his views in the comment section.
