Government Shut-Down Thread

[RussianHawk]

Calling back a majority of IRS to process returns without pay is a pathetic attempt to keep this shutdown going.

Small price to pay for freedom.

freedom isn’t free

Is this the first time Feds are missing checks or did it happen in 95-96 too?

I'm guessing he spent more than a couple Grand on bergers. Jose Andres opened up a food bank on Pennsylvania Ave. The right always said charities would be the safety net!

When do we get the East Coast wall? Or at least the Delaware River wall?

Jose Andres is also feeding gubmint employees. Much as he did in Puerto Rico and California.

My bank is offering any of our customers who are federal employees a special loan program to assist them during the government shutdown...I knew we had done something similar in the past when we had state of Illinois issues, but hadn't seen anything about this shutdown until this morning (although the announcement was made last Friday).

Not sure of the exact details, but I think it's wonderful that we are doing something to assist any local customers impacted by this shitshow.

This is what really pisses me off. They have always had the money available.

Ahhh gotta love turning it into a race issue when it's been widely reported democrats were hanging out in Puerto Rico last week. It's blatantly obvious that's what was being referenced. JFC.

[Geezer]

More excuses.

More excuses.

What do you think:

Was he telling him to go back to Puerto Rico because of his race or was it because Dems were just in Peurto Rico?

This is why people don't take the left seriously.

Racism is a real issue. Pretending that statement was about race and is racism does a disservice to real racism. It's fucking disgusting that is a strategy used by the left and that you're supporting it.

[Deleted User 75]

But you're hard left so...not surprising.

Next the hard left will be wanting to put anyone that doesn't fall in line into gas chambers. Some of you are terrifying.
