Okay, Sluggo woke up this morning and decided to pick a fight.

Chuck and Nancy ain’t playing that game.

In response, Schumer and Pelosi said that “rather than going to the White House for a show meeting that won’t result in an agreement,” they’ve asked to meet alone with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.).

“If the president, who already said earlier this year that ‘our country needs a good shutdown,’ isn’t interested in addressing the difficult year-end agenda, we’ll work with those Republicans who are, as we did in April. We look forward to continuing to work in good faith, as we have been for the last month, with our Republican colleagues in Congress to do just that.”

Yeah, Trump, shut down the government during December.  Nobody wanted to see your damn Christmas decorations anyway.

The sticking point is that currently government spending on defense and non-defense is about the same: $549 billion for defense programs and $516 billion for non defense.

The defense hawks running the White House want to boost defense spending to $600 billion, which we wouldn’t need if the damn president would quit needlessly pissing off every other country in the world.

Democrats also want to insure that DACA isn’t ended, and that CHIP remains a top priority.

So Republicans are in the position to hurt children in all possible ways they can.  Merry Christmas, Trump.
