They lie habitually, almost reflexively, about the simplest, most verifiable things. Sad.

When a reporter jumped in to note that Trump said back in May that a shutdown would be good, Sanders said, “It’s never been a preference of this administration.”

Trump-splaining.

Sanders also made sure to place any blame for a potential shutdown on Democrats in Congress,

Seems legit.

Somebody must have told him that if the government shuts down he will have to get up off of his massively obese ass and get his own metabolic syndrome-causing Diet Cokes…

Your house catches fire, so you call the Fire Department. The truck arrives late, manned by Donald Trump, Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.

Trump says, “Sure, we’ll put out the fire. But first you have to take your family out back and shoot them.”

Naturally horrified, you say, “No fucking way!”

As the last of your house turns to embers Trump, Ryan and McConnell all say in unison, “It’s your fault the house burned down!”

That, my friends, is Republican’t “Logic”…

History teaches us:

When the government shuts down - and it will - it will be blamed on the ruling party.
When the stock market starts to tank - and it will - it will be blamed on the ruling party.
When the Russians and the Chinese start buying stuff up at pennies on the dollar - and they will -
the ruling party will be blamed.

Then the Democrats will take over fix everything and then lose to the ruling party AGAIN when
a recovery begins.

It’s the circle of life…

Would someone PLEASE remind these charlatans that it was trump who started this whole mess by repealing DACA in order to extort dems into funding 18 BILLION dollars of tax payers money to build a wall that could keep out 12.2 million people (2015)…

Also, Trump could reverse his order to end DACA in the next minute and relieve the anxiety of DACA recipients.
