The Senate is playing with fire ...

[Principled]

I think they won’t bring it up. If they did, it would pass unanimously.

No more CRs from House until military funding bill is voted on.

[silverleaf]

So, democrats will not pay the active duty troops

purple lips is demanding he get his way or no way

[cotton1706]

The Senate acts as Obama’s shield (nothing gets to him thus he is blameless and he says he will veto such and such and thus the senate doesn’t bother bringing it up) and the Media acts as the Senate’s shield.

No matter what the republicans in the House do, they will be blamed, so they might as well go for broke! But there are members like Peter King, that stand with the democrats on all things.

Chuck Schumer: “we’re united. You’re not.”

[Mich Patriot]

Democrats care more about illegal aliens than American heroes.

[OneWingedShark]

Good. Let them alienate the military.

[silverleaf]

I guess this means that if Air Force One flies Obama to his pretend-work vacation in Bali next weekend, the military crew won’t be getting paid but Obama will be getting paid

[Jet Jaguar]

Active Duty/Retiree ping.

[C210N]

This makes complete sense. 0’s “as-well-funded force” is already well compensated, and their “pay” won’t be affected by any federal shutdown.

[Gay State Conservative]

They must be expecting the fruits,faggots and perverts currently in the Armed Forces will be enraged by the Republicans’ savage cruelty.

[napscoordinator]

They are not even at work until 2 o’clock today and didn’t work yesterday.

[Colonel_Flagg]

My son is active. We’re both unhappy about this.

Despite both my senators being functional illiterates, this will positively draw calls to both of them.

[KeyLargo]

S.1541 - A bill to appropriate such funds as may be necessary to ensure that members of the Armed Forces, including reserve components thereof, and supporting civilian and contractor personnel continue to receive pay and allowances for active service performed when a Governmentwide shutdown occurs, and for other purposes.113th Congress (2013-2014)

[Uncle Miltie]

TH House should pass a

“Fully Fund Social Security Payments”

bill, and have the Senate reject it.

[MWS]

So let me get this straight.

Our men and women in uniform, who put their lives on the line day-in and day-out for this country in accordance with a Constitutionally-defined function of government, are going to go without pay.

TSA workers, however, whose job consists of violating the United State Constitution on a daily basis, are going to keep getting their checks.

Something seems hugely amiss about that to me.

[Polyxene]

RAT and RINO B@stards!

[RedMDer]

Has this been going on since 2011 or is this time a redo of the same Rat tactics?

No military pay then no welfare pay and no congressional/executive/legislative branch pay either.
