The Senate has no spine.

Failed leader =Failed Party, good riddance RepubliCON's!

Cowards all of them!

These are the IDIOTS who have no personal INTEGRITY!

Spineless!

morgfair They want the shutdown to continue! They are all paid by Russia.

Hail Putin! Keep chilling with Cuban cigars and Siberian vodka. Your loyal lap dogs are at work.

Thinking for oneself is banned in the Republican party

McConnell is up for reelection in 2020 , this old man is doing your party more harm ,hopefully there is a younger republican that can challenge this man. Make no mistake , we the democrats will take his job from him. We promise!!

Ball less Mitch McConnell racism runs his life.

Bill Maher on the shutdown.

The GOP & 45, do no care about the families that are going without a paycheck, to purchase food & pay their bills. The republicans had both houses of gov. & never give him his wall, why now? Open our gov. Our national security is at risk.

Pathetic. If GOP had run on humane principles in the first place, they wouldn’t have to ‘surrender’ to Trump so often. We are still fighting for civil rights and the GOP is still spewing the same tripe they did when MLK was leading America in seeking “...and justice for all.”

The Republican men in the Senate has wave a white flag to Trump. This demonstration shows that they have no back bone.

Time for GOP Senators to remove their leader Mitch

2020 payday!

House Democrats in goosestep lockstep to avoid negotiation to promote border security and open the government! Be Real.

I’m just here to comment on the photo: Has Mitch gotten more turtley-er 🐢

Ok but vetos can be overridden. Mitch and the republican senators need to grow a pair and do what’s right, pass the bipartisan bill they passed UNANIMOUSLY last month, let him veto, then vote again.

McConnell is a coward for whom harming the American people is a victory.

this should suffice as this month's 'loyalty oath', eh mitch ? know this mcConnell, it's unimportant how history will see you, it's how God will see you (and, your 'time is soon) 🍎🍎

vote them out in 2020...

Congress sucks

You mean republicans all stick together the same way that democrats stick together. The democrats have blame too. They have equal blame. They won’t compromise. They say it’s their way or the highway

This is a surrender to McConnell. They hate Trump but understand Mitch has them by the short hairs. Still curious, though, why McConnell seems hellbent on protecting Trump. Dirty campaign contributions? We know Russian rubles via NRA went much further than Trump.

They are a spineless excuse for human beings.

Each Republican is a piece of crap.

Just sick and disgusting, it will be a real pleasure voting all of them out of office come 2020.

Fake News narratives

Sheep

Hurting your constituents to serve a self-serving narcissist.

Well they will all be held accountable Election Day!!!!!!

Great example how the they have put party over country and the people they were suppose to serve

More fake news

We need to as American people who care about this country & want to restore our democracy do every this we can to get these PutinsPuppets out of office. We need representatives who care about 'we the people' not corporation and the vile racist realDonaldTrump

Putin puppets.

All cowards vote them out 2020

Trump has fulfilled the vision of the Koch brothers by installing their shills in his cabinet & in the judiciary, including the Supreme Court! The GOP has no where to run except into the swamp that Trump has designed w gold leaf to conceal the mud.

They didnt surrender, geez, they supporting fellow republican. Headlines so misleading.

Why don't they ask Russia to pay for the wall? Russian have to complete their 'Trump' projects.

RepEscobar Jan 17 There’s a crisis of leadership threatening democracy, and the border is being used as a bargaining chip. I’m asking my colleagues to come to the border, learn the full truth, & govern appropriately and humanely. But don’t hold govt hostage in the meantime.

disgracefulGOP

Rep. Zoe Lofgren: 'You can't negotiate by keeping the government hostage. We need to reopen the government and then we can sit down and try and reach an agreement. There's been no sit down yet. This is just negotiations by TV spotlights.'

weakgop

'When are you gonna declare the ‘national emergency?!” The longer you wait, the more gravely in danger America is, right? So then why are you waiting? If it’s such a serious ‘emergency’...please declare it already before something horrible happens!'

“ All but surrendered “ implies that they held something back, or stood their ground on some point... what would that be, exactly?

Nancy is going to hold the line. Dreamers already have temporary protection so I don’t know how you call it a compromise. Trump is holding 800,000 hostage over a wall that a R congress wouldn’t agree to because of all the tunnels.

Where are the McCains: People willing to put what is Right, over party.

Party of swamp. No courage to do the job they were elected for. Re/ election for the swamp

It's not surrendering it's called compromise the dems should try it sometime

We have put all those people American's in our cause for which they do not serve,itis said a man can not serve more than a God,,,,,,,

I have a different take on this matter. Mitch declared, Trump was the president that the GOP has been waiting for. This tells me that; 1. They may be extorting Trump 2. Trump is also being extorted by the kremlin, much to GOP leadership's knowledge and abetting. 3. He cares not

Bye bye boys!! Wouldn’t want to be you in 2020. Soon your complicit agenda will be exposed & you are going down; hope it was worth it?

Bought? Blackmailed? Want their reward when the 2K billionaires fighting for world control win & have their own congress of autocrats? McConnell been dreaming of this day for at least 10 years. 'Surrender' is a euphemism for letting Trump take the heat for for the original plan

When you are willing to take the food and shelter out of the earned position of American's to such a purpose as this wall then Government has fail those whom it was created to serve on a day when his Greatest service was and is to Humanity

Surrender? More twisted headlines. They agree with him and so do millions of Americans.

To GOP , please T H I N K.

“For here on either side of the wall are God’s children, and no man-made barrier can obliterate that fact.”

Fund the wall and it will end

All the democrats have to do is protect our sovereignty and they refuse. We'll wait!

You mean stand with their voters. Got it l.

'Under pressure from conservatives to help Trump deliver on a signature campaign promise...' This is a complete & utter lie! Trump NEVER promised that WE would pay for this monstrosity. Stop telling lies GOP senatemajldr NoDeal

Why is senatemajldr still receiving a paycheck when he has flagrantly refused to do his job for at least three years now? First there was his refusal to hold hearings for MerrickGarland. Now he refuses to take up bills passed by the House without a permission slip from Trump.

WHO FOUND MITCH!? Waldo was looking for him!

It’s not about the wall.

The Dems would let these criminals keep right on pouring across the border. And when these animals murder some innocent person's loved one or ones. First the Fake News will sweep it under the rug and the Dems will say 'I'm SORRY'

Senate GOP leader rips Rep. King over white supremacy remarkSenate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday denounced Rep. Steve King over his latest remarks on white supremacy, saying, 'There is no place in the Republican Party, the Congress or the country for an ideology of racial supremacy of any kind.' McConnell is the highest-ranking... Romney should try to primary Trump. In today’s GOP, you can give racist dog whistles. But do not be explicit. I am glad there are some morals left in the GOP. This is better than none. 'Now, I love being home in this place where Ann and I were raised, where both of us were born. Ann was born at Henry Ford Hospital, I was born at Harper Hospital. No one's ever asked to see my birth certificate. They know that this is the place that we were born and raised.'

Shannon Grove of Bakersfield as their leader. She won’t change the problems with the California GOP Republicans, they have a racism and bigotry problem she’s not going to fix. Republicans just don’t get it, do they? She is nothing more than a professional troll...no facts, just slogans and bs

Senate GOP adds disaster aid, spending stopgap to Trump’s immigration offerThe president's plan will test Democrats’ solidarity. He thinks we would take his disaster money at the expense of asylum seekers? He must think we are as morally bankrupt as he is. 👍👍👍 Hopefully obstructionist Democrats will accept this deal so the partial Govt shutdown will end At this rate there won't be Republicans in any branch of the government for the next decade, what a fantastic way to ruin public perception.
