At this point I say Trump should do whatever it takes to get them to riot and then turn the tanks on them.
I’m so damn tired of this crap that I’m only half joking.

Why didnt the republicans get it done when they had majorities in both houses? The same reason they caved on ending Obamacare after they all campaigned on it. They're liars and cowards.

No joke, the government could easily function with 800,000 fewer employees. They would need to be culled intelligently, not in mass bunches, but yes: we could have that many fewer and not miss a beat in the provision of needed services.

Actually, I saw a notice at my local market that the EBT crowd is getting their payments early due to the government shutdown. I kid you not. The most recent credit went out early - now weeks ago. Now, they're following it up with reminder messages to BUDGET the funds, not just blow them because they arrived early.

What we have here is a genuine Mexican standoff.
But seriously president Trump has the upper hand because he has an avenue to accomplish his pledge to secure the border in the form of a wall - via declaring a state of emergency.
Maybe I'm looking at this wrong but it seems like the longer this goes on the more it causes problems for the Democrats.
Build the wall - its now or never

They throw it at everything else. But they finally found something that spending money on wont bring back a return in votes.

Or...$1 out of every $1000 of government spending...
To: Vigilanteman
Saw the same thing in PA. February Benefits were going to be applied to cards on the 20th of January. This was a notice from a local charity warning users not to spend all of the money because there would be no more in February.
Guessing there will be lots of shrimp, steak and lobster sold at the end of this month and sob stories at the end of February of how receipients have run out of funds.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They passed the Secure Fence Act in 2006 when they had majorities in both houses.
Where’s the fence?
They defunded it after we refused them amnesty.

Since the Republican base responded by primarying a large part of those who were the logjam on the Republican side, that would be an entirely nonsensical question.
That is why even democrats aren’t asking it.

I saw that too. But eventually the money will run out. And the gvt, if it’s smart(?), will figure out a way to continue pmts. There will be hell to pay if they don’t.
