It’s a testament to the massive level of influence wielded by the media that they can dumb down/mind control so many of us in society to the point y’all are truly failing to recognize that Trump is the best option we’ve had since Ron Paul. I don’t even wanna imagine what it’d be like if y’all had put Hillary in office.

Politics is an EXCHANGE!!!
So in 2 weeks we get to do this all over again
Nah Trump shot his wad on this one. Even McConnell is admitting that this shutdown was stupid.
GOP senator reportedly slams McConnell over shutdown: ‘This is your fault’
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) tore into Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Thursday, saying the record-long government shutdown was McConnell’s “fault,” according to The Washington Post.
Frustrated Republican senators lashed out at each other and Vice President Pence on Thursday during a private GOP lunch.
“This is your fault,” Johnson told the Republican leader, according to the Post.
“Are you suggesting I’m enjoying this?” McConnell reportedly fired back.

GOP senators read Pence riot act before shutdown votes
Frustrated GOP senators read Vice President Pence the riot act at a closed-door meeting Thursday, telling him the partial government shutdown needs to end soon, according to lawmakers in the room.
Republican senators, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell(Ky.), warned the vice president that prolonging the shutdown is not a smart political strategy, in hopes of sending a clear message to President Trump that he needs to resolve the crisis as soon as possible.
Lawmakers vented their irritation to Pence shortly before six GOP senators defected to vote for a Democratic-backed bill that would open the government without funding Trump’s proposed border wall.
One GOP senator said lawmakers told Pence “the shutdown needs to come to an end, this is not a strategy that works [and] we never should have had a shutdown in the first place.”

Come February 15th we'll know if this was a big waste of time.
I'm expecting the second one to last until April 15th.

i dont think thats strategic for trump. Hes already setting the stage to declare a state of emergency and fund "the wall" that way.
Just a reminder over 300k of the federal workforce is black
You see a few people reciting old hat right wing rhetoric about government workers being "lazy" and "useless ". Gee I wonder what motivates that rhetoric .

So give the federal workers back pay and 1 pay period of actual work. Then shut it down again.
Trump throwing them a bone to shut them up for awhile.

All this over a fukking idiot throwing a temper tantrum? Wanting funds for an unnecessary wall?
I asked what would happen when people don't have food in the EBT thread weeks ago. Now we have TSA, IRS, FBI among a lot of other federal workers not getting money. shyt will hit the fan in a real way if he doesn't cave soon. I'm not looking forward to even the slightest bit of anarchy this can lead to.
