Official USMB Shutdown Showdown Thread --- Jan 10th, 2019

[Votto]

To be fair, all Dims seem have to turned on a dime on the issue, not just Chuckles.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Why are democrats starving these gov. worker? Give Trump the wall so they can eat!!!

 

[westwall]

His policies have so radically changed so quickly, it's a fair question, why has the DNC become so extreme and dedicated to obstruction?

Well, he lies more than trump so who knows for sure.

 

[WillowTree]

McConnell is as much to blame for the shutdown as Trump.

And McConnell is wrong to block a vote in an effort to provide political cover for Trump.

Shades of Harry Fucking Reid!

'Hundreds of furloughed federal employees chanting “we want to work” gathered for a union-led march to the White House on Thursday, the 20th day of a partial government shutdown over U.S. President Donald Trump’s demand for border wall funding.'

“Hey, hey, ho, ho, shutdown’s got to go” protesters shouted as they assembled in the bitter cold outside of the AFL-CIO union headquarters, hoisting signs reading “Trump: End the Shutdown,” “Reopen Govt” and “Let Me Do My Job.”


Some 800,000 federal government employees have been ordered to stay home or work without pay during the shutdown brought on by a standoff between Trump and Democrats in Congress over Trump’s demand for $5.7 billion to build a wall on the southern U.S. border.

Trump, in a 2016 presidential campaign promise, repeatedly vowed that Mexico would pay for the wall. But he has said he will not sign any bill to reopen the government that does not provide wall funding.


Protesters, many wearing neon green vests reading, “I am a worker. I demand a voice,” on Thursday demanded the government be reopened, separate from any debate over wall funding.

“We want our pay! We want our pay! We want our pay!” shouted government employees and contractors bundled against the cold in knitted hats and scarves as they gathered for the march.

In its third week, the shutdown of about a quarter of the federal government is the second longest since the mid-1970s. Trump has said it could continue for months or even years.'

Interesting.

At least the chant is better than- "Hey, Hey LBJ, how many kids did you kill today"?

Nah, 8 endless wars and the public can't be bothered even as the empire's global militarism is economically cannibalizing society at home. But hey, public socialist funding to the corporations involved is off the chain.

 

[francoHFW]

Back then they stood for America, today that is no longer the case. Enemies of America.

Pass the 2010 Democratic comprehensive immigration Bill that started out with a national ID card that would end this GOP scam, and end this crap, Super Dupe. The wall is stupid and won't work and is unamerican garbage, for dupes only.

Big whoop. Non essential government workers are mad that their uselessness is being presented and exposed for all to see. Hopefully they will lose their jobs permanently.

Workers should walk. Just capitalism pard. No pay no workee.

His lips are moving

Border security is not a stupid wall that won't work.

 

[caddo kid]

I suppose tRump's kissers will project and blame this latest GOPer atrocity at obstructing the efforts of democrats to re-open government that has been treasonously shutdown. This among tRump and his antigovernment conspiring GOPer rat bastrds. Someone would be a idiot to think democrats are wasting time.


McConnell blocks Senate Democrats' move to re-open government

After a while this stupid shit isnt funny anymore. Democrats fund the wall, government re-opens, that simple...Dumbass...

Trump, by his OWN WORDS, owns this shutdown; period.

That's IS what we need. Fewer jobs that provide a living and walls around us.

Chuck found a way to lie both times.
Before, he was faking that he was for a secure border.
Now he's claiming that there's no crisis at the border and that he does whatever he can to protect Americans while all he wants to do is reopen the government.
Bull Shit.

You can't tell because he's always looking down while he's doing it.

What I thought was funny was that McConnell thought it was useless to send Trump a bill that he's just gonna veto anyway.

Guess McConnell forgot about the veto proof 2/3rds vote, and, if he wanted it, he would be able to get it. There is bi partisan support for reopening the government, and then debating about the wall.

Except everyone knows you dishonest libtards never get around to securing the border! Secure the border then open government! No border no peace!

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Why don't you suggest the same thing for your side? After all, if they say "yes" to the 5 billion for the wall, the government is reopened.

$5 Billion is nothing to them. It isn't about the money. If they agree they let Trump "win" politically, and they anger their "Illegals at any cost!!!" base who just love to Virtue Signal about the "browning" of America

That is correct, it isn't about money. It's about stopping the wall at any cost including the shutdown. Trump isn't asking for a list of things, he's asking for one thing. Democrats didn't even try to make a counter offer. The bottom line is there is nothing Trump could give them for the wall period.

Interesting.

There are 670,000 in the union, all they could muster is a few hundred, really? I guess it's good they're keeping themselves busy, idle hands are the devils workshop.

.

Not all federal workers live in Washington, pinhead.

That's the tel. He has to read from his notes when he's lying because he can't keep them straight otherwise.

You don't really expect americans to stand up for themselves and face power do you?

It was organized by the union and the DNC, it was a political demonstration, if you could call a few hundred a demonstration.

.

See what I mean? Pffffffffffffffffffffft, #the assistance. The american public doesn't have it in them

Don't know about that, I've been to DC twice.

He is man enough to say it, for sure. But all it takes is the 2 stooges to come to the table with a mere 5 billion dollars and the government opens, that simple...
