Trump shuts down the Country

It's official

House and Senate lawmakers are leaving the Capitol on Friday evening without passing a budget deal, ensuring there will be a partial government shutdown when funding for a large number of federal agencies lapses at midnight.

The House adjourned shortly before 7 p.m., as officials gave notice the chamber would not reconvene until noon on Saturday. Senators began leaving as well, and lawmakers from both chambers were told leaders would try to give them at least 24 hours’ notice before any votes.

Lawmakers left amid last-minute talks between White House officials and congressional leaders, who had worked to resolve an impasse over President Trump’s demands for billions of dollars of federal funding to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Well, off to the Southern White House Trump goes for his 2 week vacation to eat his X Mas Big Mac and play a few rounds of golf while he leaves this country, and the world, in chaos.

Please die

In the past all the federal workers who were laid off got paid anyway. So they know they are just getting a paid holiday. Not such a great deal for everyone else though.

Where's the outrage over the billions of tax money gifted to Israel or central America? People voted for a wall and border security, not handouts for foreigners. NAFTA was redrafted, no reason not to sink the supposed earnings from that into the wall.

You're a real ignoramus. Like the government collects trade surpluses or covers deficits? Your mom still cuts up your food for you. Right?

Airport security still must work even though they won't get paid. Not only that but they don't make much more than enough to live from paycheck to paycheck. Same with quite a few forestry department workers many of whom are part-time and struggling to get by during normal times.

As you say, everybody is going to survive this and eventually get paid. It is not, however, a great way to encourage the loyalty or retention of good workers.

Another Trump clusterfuck is underway. One of many that we've had this year.

I agree it's going to be a clusterfuck. But the worse it is, the more damage it will do 45. This one might last too.

I was just pointing out what a waste of money it is. Lots of folks will stay home from work, but a couple of months from now, they will get paid for work they didn't do.

So much wrong and the money is a big part of that.

Maybe 45 is sabotaging himself with the Republicans in the Senate so they will vote with Democrats to get him out of there. It doesn't look like he enjoys the Presidenting thing very much anymore. Said only slightly sarcastically.

Like disabled vets? Or downs syndrome kids? Elderly?

Hopefully most disabled vets will begin to realize they were used to expand and control empire. The biggest impairment many have is maintaining the false belief they were "protecting" freedom.
Even downs syndrome kids know better than to hit other people who aren't hitting them.

The "elderly" have been ripped off by inflation, caused by the collusion of the Federal Reserve and the warfare / welfare state.

If you want to keep swatting at symptoms and continue to perpetuate the problems rather than actually solve them, whine for more government.

Personally, I live week by week (pot sales are slow) so to miss even 1 weeks paycheck is a disaster, and all nonessential employees will be furloughed (no work/no pay), and essential employees (air traffic control) will have to work anyway, for no paycheck.
This is hurting millions of Americans, and for what?
Trumps Great Fucking Wall? (yea, you know that's what he wants it to go down in history as "Trumps Wall", so it can be seen from the Moon)
Does he think he actually is going to get his Wall, one that he guaranteed would be paid for by Mexico thru this Congress?
It ain't happening, never will happen, never, ever, ever.
So, he AGAIN fucks the AVERAGE American to suit his malignant base, just before X Mas.
