Lawmakers have given up trying to deal with Trump on shutdown: 'We are in this horrible purgatory'

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/01/lawmakers-given-trying-deal-trump-shutdown-horrible-purgatory/

snip of article:

As the longest government shutdown goes into its fourth week, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have all but given up trying to bring it to an end because of President Donald Trump’s refusal to bend on his demand for border wall funding, reports Politico.

Asked how things are going, Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) succinctly described the lawmakers’ dilemma as “We are in this horrible purgatory between heaven and hell.”



Bring out the 25th Amendment please.

worthless when it comes to securing USA's citizens well being. But alas, they did unblock sanctions against their fellow comrade tho.


Again, blame, blame, blame. They do not care.

Do you think civil unrest is inevitable at this point? If enough of us start calling our Reps and Senators may be it will move their asses.

This is all McConnell and tRump. Period.
