That's pretty head-in-ass logic.

Trump is the one who ended the shutdown, whereas Schumer and Pelosi would have kept it going indefinitely, just to spite Trump.

What caused the shutdown is Demcorat obstruction of a border wall that EVERY LAST DEMOCRAT PREVIOUSLY SUPPORTED! And these same Democrats actually funded far more border wall construction in each of the W. Bush and Obama presidencies than Trump wanted funds to build now.
There is no logic to Democrats not funding the border security Trump asked for, that they previously (and vocally, in videotaped speeches) themselves supported. DEMOCRATS caused the shutdown, not Trump. And as I cited previously, their shutdown actually cost more than the funds Trump requested.

    Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.

    EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
