The Democrats are a 5th Column trying to end the nation and it’s Trump’s shutdown?

All the furloughs I took part in we were warned that they were coming. We even prepared for some that did not come.

The Schumer Shutdown continues until Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer agree to FUND THE WALL.

Rush Limbaugh - An Historic and Telling Day in Shutdown History Jan 11, 2019

https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2019/01/11/historic-shutdown-is-the-first-in-which-federal-workers-will-miss-a-paycheck/

Excerpt - BOLD emphasis mine:

Despite all these shutdowns we’ve ever had, despite the big shutdown over the budget battle in 1995, when we were getting stories about how federal employees were gonna miss their turkeys for Thanksgiving and Christmas. And during the school lunch fiasco where Republicans were killing kids by starving them, THIS IS THE FIRST PAYCHECK THAT WILL BE MISSED BY FEDERAL WORKERS BECAUSE OF A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.

Now, it might be the first time ever furloughed federal employees missed a paycheck, but the checks went out almost immediately after the Clinton-Gingrich shutdown, and these missed paychecks will be made up. That has already been guaranteed.

So if this is the first — I want you to listen to me carefully on this, because historical perspective is crucial going forward. If this is the first shutdown in the history of shutdowns where federal employees have missed a paycheck, then why have the Drive-By Media been reporting about all the hardships that federal workers are facing during all these previous shutdowns when today is the first day, the only day they’ve ever missed a paycheck?

THE DRIVE-BYS HAVE BEEN SHEDDING TEARS OVER MISSED MORTGAGE PAYMENTS, CHILDREN GOING TO BED HUNGRY FOR THREE WEEKS NOW, BUT A PAYCHECK HASN’T YET BEEN MISSED UNTIL TODAY. There hasn’t been any financial hardship until today. There wasn’t any financial hardship during any of the previous shutdowns because no federal workers ever missed a paycheck. This is the first time.

It was OK for Democrats to vote for the wall in 2006 and 2013, appropriate billions for it, spent the money on who knows what, but not OK for a Republican President to actually build the wall.

it is NOT the Trump shutdown, these damned liars are so addicted to falsification!!!!

it is Congress’ responsibility to fund whatever governmental operations it chooses

a far more accurate headline would have been “Pelousy’s shutdown” since she is running the House of Reps again (ALAS!) and all funding bills are required to originate in the House

This point can’t be pounded enough. The Dims have no credibility on this issue.

Which families are those Patty? The ones who pay your salary, or the criminals, terrorists, drugs runners, human traffickers, etc., that you open the borders to?

Who the hell is posting this as “The Trump Shutdown”? Why parrot the words of an aging dingbat from Washington State?
