I wad never a big trump fan but he has definitely wob me over. Libs are even more unhinged.
Shut it down. ANd make sure there is no furlough. Otherwise, it is free vacation to the gubmint gangsters.
Chuck E Cheese ought to know that when DJT starts talking like this... it’s over for the Merry band of Dem leftists in the Senate, as the house has overwhelmingly passed the bill.
I don’t think Trump is being radical enough here. The Congress, Republicans and Democrats alike, are not willing to work with this President and they are not willing to take their cues from the American people in terms of the agenda. Trump needs to say, “I won’t sign a continuing resolution, pass a budget”. If the government shuts down, he needs to go golfing, or talk trade or whatever he can do while it’s shut down. Get on tv every day and urge Congress to pass a budget within the framework that they’ve outlined. Learn to get along guys, pass a budget, it’s your job!
What if President Trump shut down the Department of Education, the EPA, the Bureau of Land Management, BATFE (except for Class III approvals), foreign aid, refugee resettlement, reviews for foreign visas, and a whole bunch of other agencies that do nothing urgent (or perhaps not even useful)?
All those liberal “democrats” who have a “grandmother” on her “deathbed” back home in the old country better apply for their passports and visas now. LOL! Veterans can be cool, I don’t see Secretary Zinke blockading any war memorials so they can be held hostage by the “democrats” and their toads in the fake “media” so I see them remaining open.
Given Trumps popularity and common sense dealing directly with the public, I don’t think Slimey Schuster and Nutty Pelosi will be able to tag the next shutdown on the President
Even though the usual suspect RINOs may panic or otherwise side with nutty and slimy
Nor do I think Trump will arm the Park Service and send them out to blockade the monuments
Since when do libtards care about the deficit?
They racked up $20Trillion in debt under Ostupidass and never once complained.
There is no way to pay that off with MORE taxes, which will kill the economy even more. The only way is to stimulate the economy to grow- and lowering taxes will do that JUST LIKE THEY DID UNDER REAGAN.
Hold the line President Trump. Please, be a true statesman. Do not submit to blackmail and make all of those who tried pay for it later. No quarter after all of this.

Shut it down....send everyone home.
Right there. That's the problem. The minority party - the losers, in this case - don't get to set ANY conditions. The GOP needs to make this clear. The leftists can either be the problem, or part of the GOP solution. That's just all there is to it.
BUT, we know how good the GOP is at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, and I would expect nothing less than the GOP bending over and taking it up the tailpipe, all in the name of "bipartisanship". Incidentally, this is precisely what the GOP would do in the event of an Article V Convention, too. Be careful what you wish for.
the wall must be funded. If the dems shut it down...hammer them on twitter every day as their fault. and that they don’t care about our borders.
Unlike previous shutdowns, WE determine who’s essential and who’s not. Unlike Obie’s shutdown, police, fire, SocSec, military, even national monuments remain functioning, and most importantly, it’d become clear we don’t need 1/2 of the employees.
For those reasons, Dems don’t dare.
Shut it down and leave it down. Forever.
In a shutdown the first thing closed should be office that write paychecks to Congress and the State Department.
Trump has a golden opportunity here! Trump can say “Hey look! We can see during the shutdown which government programs and employees are truly essential and those that aren’t! This will greatly aid us in establishing our priorities when we present our 2018 Government Reduction Act and accompanying budget next year!” Once the voters actually see how much government that they can live without the effectiveness of media/democrat scare stories will diminish.
No wall, no government.
Yeah but if it shuts down, like Ann Coulter says: “schoolchildren couldn’t visit national parks and welfare checks won’t get mailed on time” lol
How?
