Snapshots of Your DEMOCRATIC Party, 21st Century Style

I know I shouldn't be saying this, but I told y'all so.
Taking up DACA, which anyway one looks at is law breaking, is not a noble cause. YMMV.
One can be sympathetic to these children, but not make them 'cause celebre' and sshut down the government. Tail wagging the dog.
The tax cuts and lack of an operating budget would have been much better issues.

Actually the consensus is that the tax cuts may help Trump.

I cannot itemize any more since I am near to the end of my mortgage.

The 22k tax deduction will help me but not the nation. Many will see a short term benefit from the tax plan and Trump may ride the wave.


Trump wants to cut legal immigration by 50 percent because he he doesn't like black and brown people so he is about to trap the Democrats into a corner since he wants to gut legal immigration in return for a DACA "victory".

The Dems should not shut down the government and wait until November.
This DACA crisis can be solved by Trump himself. We shouldn't let this jerk institute a nativist immigration policy using the guise of his own self-created DACA crisis.
