Day 3 of the goverment shutdown!

Here we go again. The worst part is our military isnt getting paid yet again thanks to these bumbling idiots. The democrats did this to us before while I was still serving. Its absolutely disgusting that politicians are still taking a paycheck while our servicemen and women are putting their lives on the line. Disgraceful…

Republicans and Democrats remain at loggerheads and have been unable to strike a deal, extending the government shutdown to a third day.

Senate Majority Leaders Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer did not appear to be any closer to ending the stalemate as they left the Senate on Sunday night.

McConnell said there would be a vote at noon on Monday that could end the impasse, calling for both parties to ‘step back from the brink’.

‘The shutdown should stop today. And we’ll soon have a vote that will allow us to do that,’ he said.

President Donald Trump is yet to react to the news.

In an olivebranch to the Democrats, McConnell earlier said he would seek to bring forward legislation involving the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) if enough Democrats vote to re-open the government.

‘Should these issues not be resolved by the time the funding bill before us expires on February 8, 2018, assuming that the government remains open, it would be my intention to proceed to legislation that would address DACA, border security, and related issues,’ McConnell said from the Senate floor.

‘It is also my intention to take up legislation regarding increased defense funding, disaster relief, and other important matters. Importantly, when I proceed to the immigration debate, it will have an amendment process that is fair to all sides.’

McConnell and Democrat Chuck Schumer are continuing to negotiate but are yet to ‘reach a path forward’, Schumer said, according to Politico.
