So Scott, What about the Shutdown offer from the President

As we march off the cliff like lemmings, the President offered a "compromise"to end the shutdown.

The "compromise" was to extend DACA projection and TPS (Temporarily Protected Status) immigrants fleeing national disasters and wars for 3 years.

Why use quotes around the word compromise?

Well, DACA and TPS immigrant status was taken away by President Trump last year. So this is like going to McDonald's with Trump - and you order a quarter-pounder,  chicken sandwich and fries. And immediately Trump takes the chicken sandwich and fries. Then he offers to compromise and give you back the chicken sandwich and fries for 1/2 your quarter-pounder. And he'll take the chicken and fries back when you start to eat them.

That is not a compromise.

That is blackmail and shouldn't work between 2 co-equal branches of government.
