as to this shut down it looks like one side is at least trying to negotiate - offered up something pretty major yesterday - at least its major if you care about the DACA kids - - and its something he doesnt need republicans to give - just like Obama did so can he
so where are the Democrats? - - if getting the government open is important where are they? if the really give a cr@p about the DACA kids where are they?
its really sad state we are in when not letting Trump win is more important than working for things that you have said are important
I thought the president made a decent offer and since the main objective during a hostage negotiation is to get the hostages freed. I would except his offer, because the 800k+ innocent hostages he has taken would be set free.
Now if taking hostages and making demands with threats of taking more hostages unless your demands are met is considered terrorism, the hostage taker would be a terrorist and as an American I could not negotiate with him until all the hostages were released, because we don't negotiate with terrorists.
However, hostage takers rarely give up their hostages without getting what they want because those hostages are the only leverage they have. In this situation you can't just have a sniper shoot the hostage taker, so again, I would accept the offer.
