"Thank a Democrat. It's their shutdown."

[Ol Janx Spirit]

That was the message from the Administration's "Rapid Response 47" X account in response to growing lines and frustration at airports due to TSA shortages stemming from the latest government shutdown.

But back in 2013 in an interview with then-Fox News host Greta Van Susteren, the Orange Abomination had a far different assessment of culpability for government shutdowns under Obama:

"You have to get everybody in a room. You have to be a leader. The president has to lead. He has get Mr. Boehner and everybody else in a room, and they have to make a deal. You have to be nice and be angry and be wild and congeal and do all sorts of thing, but you have to get a deal.

And, unfortunately, he has never been a dealmaker. That wasn't his expertise before he went into politics and it's obviously not his expertise now. But you have to get the people in a room and you have to get a deal. That's good for everybody and good for the country."

Democrats have reasonable demands on ICE in order to fully restore the funding that will end this shutdown, but there has been very little talk of even being willing to negotiate.

And this is only a very narrowly limited government shutdown--so easy peasy, right? Child's play.

Did all of the rooms get torn down to make way for the ballroom or what? I'm sure there has to be a room somewhere they could all get into and let President [REDACTED] work his "art of the deal" magic.

It feels almost like he didn't actually write that book after all....

So, you let ICE run loose on American streets in masks and unmarked cars to terrorize and kill people which led inevitably to horror and pushback; now you refuse to "get everybody in a room" and be a leader; but it's all the fault of Democrats?

Classic....
