So do not be surprised to see the President execute a veto or a pocket veto, then after much bad press the squishy RINOs in the Senate join with the Senate Dims and override the veto.

I think that Congress is considered “essential”. Wouldn’t it be sweet, however, if their support personnel were locked out like Obama did with the national parks and memorials. I would like to see how Dems, especially, do without any speech writers, coaches sitting behind them in hearings, etc. Some of them cannot even read what others have written for them very well. .

I Remember. 1995 lost govt job at EPA due to shut down.

From an agency that should not exist, that is a good start. I'd wager that every single person who lost a job found a better one.

The media too is full of hate. Most of the people around here are not watching any of the news programs anymore.
It is all the same old hate talking points. The so called reporters and journalists sound clueless, because they are blinded with hate.

I didn’t know that govt employees lost jobs during shutdowns. I knew that contract employees don’t get make-up pay, may lose jobs or leave for employment that pays them. Since congress protects its own far better than they care for non-government based people, perhaps they have changed the law to prevent anyone from being fired because of a shut down.

His body language makes him look like he is alternately scolding his genitals and navel. Well, he likely has a navel anyway....

From the list of parts of the government that even Obama shut down, most were spending that I would not voluntarily pay for if given a choice.

I think Trump can be even more creative in dealing with Democrat-favored non essential spending than Obama was by blocking scenic view parking with orange traffic cones. Particularly this time of the year. National Park visits don't peak until June, July and August. There is plenty of time.

Actually, the House will carry the day and produce victory for the wall.

The House bill included $5.7 billion for the wall and all the disaster relief money

The senate dare not vote against disaster relief for California and more importantly, for Florida

Indeed. The EPA and DoE should top his list of agencies to see go away. Maybe we can get a petition started to have The DonaldTM consider for permanent shutdown...

I'm pretty sure the shutdown is gonna last til Spring, so most will find other jobs anyway.

Most will not be able to find other jobs outside government because they're not qualified for anything else.

I know this from experience.

His far left wing media work force are hypnotized by Schumer through hate.

The media actually control Schumer. They are not hypnotized. They are intermediary puppet masters doing the bidding of the far-left radical globalists who own their platforms. They are controlled by praise, treats and the occasional beating, like any junk yard dog.

Schumer to Cancel Christmas for Congress should be the Headline

Can the President demand that Congress stay in session?

Why did the Donald do a 180 on the shutdown? Pecker puss Pelosi gloating over her victory. Not complicated.

Oh and Rush’s comment....less than nothing...
________________________________________________

Trump always offers a generous deal at first. Once his opponents reveal themselves as venal liars, he doubles down on what he really wants and he usually (like with the Wall & shutdown) gets what he wants.

Pelousi’s gloating harmed Pelousi, not Trump. And, in the end, she got sandbagged.

Rush was letting POTUS know how we all felt. Rush ended that particular rant by admitting it made no sense. The next day, Rush explained how Donald is a master of pacing, which is why he always wins.

Schummer looks like a worn out shoe salesman.

Hopefully he does not close down the parks and monuments like obama did even when they did not be shutdown.

I have yet to see him look someone in the eye, when he is speaking.

He must love looking at his shoes.

You know, Bird, you are so right.

And something else I noticed. Many of the press are
WOMEN.

What’s with that?
