Good luck getting any changes in govt.. most Americans are sheep and maki g change requires active participation in the political process.
While the conservatives on FREEPR rant about a civil war...most conservatives are burned out or just coping to get by. Proof?
You couldn’t get the millions that voted for Trump to ONE rally in DC. Civil war...not likely.
Sad, but reality
A possible bonus is that when those employees see that they are not getting the increases they were counting on, they might want Schumer to make a deal about wall funding. I say “might” because some of them might hate Trump more than they want the money.
Don’t care. There are literally hundreds of thousand of fedgov employees sitting at home who will get paid for the shutdown and no normal person will notice they are gone. That shows there are way too many fedgov employees. Getting all the “non-essential” employees off the books would be a great start.
And what would that do? If the g.o.p. confirms impeachment, conservatives have no political vehicle.
What would Trump supporters do...riot? Shoot elected officials., shoot up MSM and take over media?
Uh, no.
I would agree w removing many govt employees that are not needed.
Ain’t gonna happen. We have a broken conservative political vehicle. Couldn’t get ONE change In immigration in 2 years...not one law changed. Pitiful
As long as the House Rs keep electing Uniparty losers like Boner, Ryan and now McCarthy as leaders, nothing much will get done. The Senate is also a waste for the most part but McConnell can at least get judges confirmed, which may end up being the most important thing for conservatives in the long run.
Are you kidding? ATF? They are jackbooted thugs & they're your heroes?
tagline fixed.
Excellent analysis. I forgive McConnell a lot for his relentless, behind the scenes getting all these judges in.
AND for his verbal outrage during the KAVANAUGH debacle.
Excellent, very succinct post.
You offer hope in a miasma of frustration!
The agencies you mentioned represent $130B of a $4.4T budget.
Wtf are you talking about?
"Air Traffic Control ? Not In The Constitution. Prohibited!"
So I guess you never travel anywhere?
"18 Wheelers ? Not in the constitution. Prohibited !!"
I guess you never buy anything either since 100% of everything on a store shelf is shipped by TRUCK.
"The framers never thought of interstate pipelines ? PROHIBITED !!!"
So you don't use gasoline, natural gas, or home heating oil either?
Guess what spanky, the internet wasn't around back then either so I guess by YOUR STANDARD it's "prohibited" too?
I guess over the top sarcasm is a lost art. Oh well.
That’s what the “/sarc” is for.
The /sarc tag is for dummies.
You’re gonna have a hard time on this site.
