The RIFs should begin.
91 votes Trump
56 votes Pelosi
Why are the House and Senate still getting paid and taking holiday trips on our expense. Sequester the house and senate until this boondoggle is finished. Why no budget for decades. Lock them up.
Nothing. If something HAS to be done, lay them off so they can collect unemployment.
They should use the limited Federal budget to schedule more pre-dawn FBI arrests of political consultants. This will keep America safe during the shutdown!
Fire all Liberals and start it back up. Then build the Wall 25ft wide, 55ft high and 30ft deep out of high tensile concrete. All the dirt form the 25ft x 55ft trench could be trucked to Louisiana and build a land/sea break that would stop anything
What shutdown? I just ordered the new 50th anniversary Apollo 11 coins from the mint. No problemo.
Done. Freeped.
What should be done about the ongoing federal government shutdown?
The shutdown of the federal government continues to drag on. Who’s right - President Trump or House Speaker Nancy Peolsi?
You voted: I think our President should stand firm!
240 I think our President should stand firm!
61 Speaker Pelosi is right - a wall is immoral!
Cute binary choice
They are missing some options
o I think our President should stand firm!
o Speaker Pelosi is right - a wall is immoral!
o Make it permanent
o Expand it to cover more “workers”
Trump needs to stand firm. The Gov. remains closed until the wall is finished and staffed.
Here’s why; - US Taxpayers are being billed 120 Billion Dollars each and every year for illegals entering our Country.
Trump wants (along with most of the US citizens) a mere 8 Billion dollars to correct this for the Taxpayers.
The Democrats have clearly shown they will not put American people first before illegals. That is unacceptable. The People that are working for the Federal Gov. are on lay off as a direct result of Democratic priorities, …. Americans last.
You do the math. Then tell me who has the American people at heart with their best interest in keeping our culture, language, borders, and finance(s).
GO PRESIDENT TRUMP! Keep your ground. If RIF leads to permanent unemployment(?), — then it’s all on the Democrats. President Trump is doing the Right thing and it’s long over due. End of Story.
Pelosi stands firm with ridiculous demands while President Trump backs down in what's a real crisis of invaders overwhelming the US. I wonder if President Trump ever had to deal with strong willed women who would stand up to him rather than ignore him when they disagree.
(I've often said, in real life situations, that men are programmed to not recognize the female *itch gene. If they did, that group would not find partners for breeding)
There are a zillion things Trump could do to tighten the screws, say 5-10 actions a day, but apparently Mulvaney and everyone else in this Administration is brain dead.
Hell why not just bring Sessions back and let him run things if you are so negligent.
“Government That Governs Least, Governs Best”.
Expand on this “shutdown”.
We will all be better off in the long run.
Please, knowledgeable FReepers (I know that doesn’t narrow it down)-
True or false: the sidelined workers in the shutdown ARE eligible for unemployment benefits
AND
will still get the full pay amounts retroactively when the shutdown ends.
I have now heard each side’s mutually exclusive version.
Also, wouldn’t it be just if the unemployment money we taxpayers are giving them would be deducted from the big total retro pay later? Or they are paid extra pay!
Do NOTHING and Immediately Double Down by CLOSING the Border and halting ALL Immigration, then send 1000 Agents in to SoCal and begin rounding up and deporting Illegal Aliens.
The Wall will be Fully Funded Overnight otherwise California will Die a sudden and Cruel death.
As of 11:33AM EST:
633 I think our President should stand firm!
67 Speaker Pelosi is right - a wall is immoral!
God bless President Trump.
RIF is right!
633-Trump
67-Pelosi
Poor set of choices...not everyone anti-wall believes that a wall is immoral. Some just want easier access to their drugs, to trafficked teenage girls, to their payoffs for looking the other way...
