Government Shut-Down Thread

[DCHawk1]

Pelosi and Schumer are cringe worthy in this response. Face palm.

Let's hope those liberals and feminists out in California don't give them their own reality show.

yer zingin' 'em tonight!

Frankly it's sad to see how pathetic our elected officials are. Top to bottom. Very few exceptions.

If you didn't hold yourself in such high regard perhaps you could respect others.

my phone just blew up with an amber alert outta Sheridan.

I google for more info and on https://www.amberalert.gov/ and it says due to a lapse in appropriations, DoJ websites will not be regularly updated.

[ousdahl]

I wonder which Sheridan it is?

Heh!

CBS fact-checking the President during the speech.

Trump says one in three women sexually assaulted on way to the border. CBS finds the truth! It’s 60-80%! There! That’ll teach Trump!

Hmmm...surely if the border is a front line, stacked by the acre with roving bands of murderous....raping immigrants, the residents on the border are hunkered down....armed to the teeth and facing numerous attacks daily.


“The only crisis we’re facing here is a shortage of labor. Fewer people cross the border to work than before, and Americans don’t want to get their hands dirty doing hard work.”

“There is no border problem, except for ones we are causing,” said the rancher, who said he had not had any problems with illegal border crossers on his property and who asked not to be identified out of fear of retribution from strident supporters of Mr. Trump’s planned border wall. “There’s no need for a bigger wall. There is not a border crisis down here.”

And President Temper Tantrum walks out of meeting.
60 million people thought it was a good idea to make a moron President.

Many of those 60mil thought he was the better of 2 bad choices...scumbags.

If any of those 60mil still feel that way, there is literally no help for them.

Well, that is certainly easy to say during this shitshow going on right now....but there is really no telling what kind of crap hillary would have us in either. And if you can't see why she was/is really problematic then there is literally no help for you either.

[Deleted User 89]

and you don’t know that she would’ve had us in any shitshow

problem is, we’ve got who we’ve got. no reason to keep bringing up clinton

she could’ve been worse, but she just as easily (likely would’ve?) been better

And Republican leaders said the exact opposite (they said he was polite and calm)....shocker.

[Deleted User 75]

I wish we'd stop the sideshow...and I'll stop getting you guys worked up, because I'm against the shutdown.

I've heard good compromise (relatively) coming from some Dem leaders about what they would agree to fund....it's not a "wall" like Trump wanted, but has portions of "barrier" and added technology....wish they would get some sort of deal done, it doesn't have to be a complete solution at all once....and how on earth can it be. It's such a complex issues. Get a deal done. Keep adding to it over the next few years and beyond. It doesnt need to be all or nothing. Act like adults. Trump and Schumer/Pelosi.

Even Republican congressman Herd from Texas was on CNN wanting to get something done....and he's from Texas, so he shared some good insight on things that need to happen.

Why is everyone focusing on the ‘wall’ part and not so much on the ‘Mexico’ part? It was a package deal as I recall. The shutdown is over US taxpayers footing the bill. #wherearethepesos as Steve Schmidt put it

Trump tweeted he walked out of the meeting saying "bye bye". It's almost word for word what the Dems said.

The pesos are building the more effective and more important wall.

On the Mexican border w/Guatemala.
