The GOPee is not interested in cutting spending.
I say just shut it down forever.
Are the Dems waiting until after their protests on Saturday, 10/18 to cave?
That appears to be the case.
JUST IN: A helicopter has CRASHED in Huntington Beach, CA, narrowly missing beach-goers
Casualties unknown.
I’m managing…somehow…
If they cave before they will deflate the numbers methinks. They’ve marched themselves up a dead-end street.
“and a House that has stood defiantly closed to try to force Democrats into caving to Republican demands.”
No bias in this article/s
The only demands are the irrational ones from the democrats. We couldn’t get the Nation to vote us into power after the mess we made. We couldn’t convince Congress to keep kicking the can down the road so now we are going to hold our collective breath, fake a tantrum & turn blue.
You are right. The trees may have saved several people from being killed.
Locals are reporting that the helicopter is stuck between a building and palm trees, according to the Citizen app.

Yes. That was always the plan. I would love to see Trump use this and send out a pile of RIF’s every day.
I honestly forget about the “shutdown”. Is there anyone here who has been affected by it?

I only worry about the military getting paid.
I’m not in the military anymore,
Other than that, no effect on my life yet.
I’ve always set myself up to be as free
from your Democrat run governments
as possible.
Money talks and Trump enjoys a good fight. I don’t expect Trump would be doing this if he couldn’t make sure his side got paid. The Federal RIFs are coming and the ‘Rats will be seen as powerless to stop it. They will try to blame Trump, but unpaid people get angry.
Bkmk
Since most of the people who work for the government are unemployable anywhere else, no great loss.
I’m betting this lasts til after the election (this November)
The rest can wait, and in fact, the longer it waits the more it becomes apparent it's not really needed and only exists to buy votes.
Well, the IRS sent me a certified letter today. So, they are just dandy. I don’t notice anything else.
