So, are the doors shut?
It’s a political stunt by the Democrats to prove to their far-left base that they’re “standing up” to Trump.
We should have a thread where people post all the horrors they experience during the shutdown. Like “no TP at Yellowstone vault toilet #232”.
I’ll start:
(______)
Another opportunity to make note of those government employees’ who are not considered “essential”.
That’s what democrats can’t get through their thick heads.....Trump wants less fed gov employees anyway......so they’re basically doing his work for him and don’t even realize it.
-
Not as smart as they think they are.
Just make the cuts, Blame Dems and call it a day.
They either think Trump is bluffing, or their federal judges will block the RIF.
Hilarious, ROTFLMAO
It will be “A Beautiful Shutdown”.
“The Best One Ever”.....
Never let a good crisis go to waste. Gut the deep state of useless Federal “employees”. Start with those fat ,woke, political generals and admirals. Hopefully Trump’s people have compiled lists of people to be terminated.
Can somebody explain why it takes 60 votes to end this shutdown? If Republican don’t go nuclear to end this unconstitutional requirement, THEY will be responsible for it.
Oh Noes!
- VA disability check on time - check.
- Social Security check on time - check.
- No more “free” medical care for illegal aliens? Check
- Hundreds of thousands of “non-essential” government employees sitting at home indefinitely? Check.
Looking forward to sitting on my veranda watching former civil servants pick my beans, fruit and cotton, mow my lawn, listen to the vacuum as they clean my house?
Priceless.
“Shut ‘er down, Clancy, she’s a pumpin’ mud.”
Have the 100,000 government employees, who said they would quit, quit?!?
I’m almost beyond caring. Washington DC can not solve this problem.
Therefore, the problem will only be solved through an uncontrolled, ass-whipping crisis.
US Federal debt is so bloated, you could shut down all Fed.gov discretionary spending - and medicaid, social security, interest on existing debt, and military would still eat up all, and more, of tax revenue.
85% of the government, known as essential services, remains open.
So the real question is why do we have anything that is not ‘ESSENTIAL’ services? Shut it down and keep it shut down!
As Ronald Reagan said “let’s shut it down, and see if anybody notices”
