The Hill printed this?  If the dems have lost the Hill it really must be bad.

Schumer's Democrats are using a pile of myths to support his shutdown
© Greg Nash

Shutdown fever has officially hit Washington. As Congress struggles to come to an agreement to get the government back to work, Capitol Hill is awash in indignant finger pointing, Twitter posturing and shutdown drink specials for furloughed employees.

Amidst all the breathless reporting and hyperbole, what’s real and what’s fake news is getting harder to distinguish. Here’s a look at what’s actually happening.

Shutdown myth #1: There was a bipartisan deal. Reporters, pundits and even senators have claimed that President Trump “rejected” a bipartisan deal to address recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, leading to the shutdown.

It’s true that on the Wednesday prior to the shutdown, a group of senators met with the president to discuss a left-of-center immigration proposal largely put together by Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.).


Shutdown myth #2: GOP controls the government so they should be able to keep it open!

Shutdown myth #3: So, this shutdown is just like 2013, right?

Shutdown myth #4: Schumer offered Trump funding for the wall.

Just watching Schumer on TV, paving the way to cave on the vote.

Even felt sorry for DiFi .. maybe she didn't realize camera would catch her ... she kept looking at her watch.

So Chuckie is blaming it ALL on President Trump, who refuses to negotiate, keeps changing his mind and doesn't give a hoot about the American people.

He tried the whole line again about Republicans controlling everything but that has been shot down so many times he didn't dwell on it.

Now, he is promising a vote on DACA in a few months which, he assures us, will get 60 votes immediately.

I knew it was over when I watched Chuck's speech.  It didn't take him long to wake up to the reality that the shutdown was being called The Schumer Shutdown .... everywhere.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
