That’s a good meme.
So what a sec. There was a statute that let the military continue to operate during shutdowns that has been on the books for years. When did it go away?
I don’t recall ever hearing that it had been done away with.
Republicans need to grow balls and hammer that point home.
Illegals are more important to the Democrats then the hard working men and women risking their lives to keep this country and the world safe.
Hammer them with it
Why can’t we make the Democrats eat this?
I remember as a young sailor under Carter having something like this happen, even way back then - no budget and we weren't going to get paid...
No idea what the deal was. Was not politically aware back then.
Technically, the shutdown would NOT start until midnight, Friday night, the END of the 24 hour day.
This is pay for hours already earned. Technically, they have earned this pay. \
Don’t think this has been thought out.
IF I had to shut down a private company, I definately would HAVE to pay them for hours worked & accrued sick pay & vacation pay up to the shutdown minute.
Historically, it has not been good to not pay the army. Bad things tend to happen to governments throughout history that go down that road.
Mark my word folks, if there’s a way to do it, McConnell and Ryan will join the Democrats casting this as a Trump caused problem.
I may be wrong, but I think they are that craven.
Hmmm... Wonder if Congress and the Senate get their paychecks?
Report: Pentagon & HUD ‘Lost’ $21 TRILLION! - Should We Look For A New Terror Attack To Cover This?
When this happened to me many years ago, those of us on payroll deposit got paid when the guys with actual checks didn’t.
Actually President Trump has donated his salary to different causes since he’s been President..that’s not something you will hear in the commie meda
The Rats wouldn’t care...but if SSDI recipients suffering from “chronic anxiety disorder” are denied that’s a problem.
Won’t be the first time.
FU Jimmy, and the democrat Congress.

Sacrifices. No more money for illegals! Period. The troops will know who betrayed them!
Fake news. I’ve a near 30 year military career and have seen multiple so-called “shutdowns”. I never recall not being paid on time.
No pension or secret service for Obama and Jarret!!
I don't believe the troops are due to receive a paycheck this Friday. They get paid on the 1st and the 15th of the month.
This doesn’t sound right. Military is paid on the 1 st and 15 th; they should have already received their pay.
Unless something changed since I retired.
Dems don’t want troops to eat.
They are throwing troops over a cliff.
They want troops to drink dirty water.
Pay days are 15th and 30th, so no one gets paid this Friday in any case.
