Republicans Shut Down the Federal Government Again & Suffer Humiliating Defeat

Third time is a charm?
 
I’m not sure where to put this, maybe we need a shutdown thread...

I’m not sure how accurate this 94% is, but if it’s even a little bit true it makes the shutdown so much worse.

 
Can someone remind me which party has controlled the White House, Senate and House during the last 3 shutdowns in 2018?

K, thanks.

Trump was voted president cause we wanted a wall. Fund the damn wall and take the issue away from him. It’s literally the only thing he has left that most people agree with. Fund it.

Is trolling by trolling very poorly a thing?

Has the border wall funding ever had majority support?
 
All the excess revenue generated by the beautiful tax cut should be more than enough to pay for it.






Oh, wait.

From the January 2018 shutdown: "According to one person familiar with that day’s discussion, Mr. Schumer agreed to more military spending and discussed fully funding the president’s request for a border wall in exchange for an agreement from the president to support legalizing the Dreamers."

Hence Trump just wants the issue. So take it away from him by agreeing to it publicly

If you had kids, you would know this doesn’t work. He’ll just have a fit about something else.
 
Im glad he's already proven that even when he has every chamber of congress he still can't get anything done. It'll make his crying that much more laughable once he actually loses the house.
 
my brother-in-law is a government employee who always gets furloughed during shutdowns - he loves them

it's free vacation time for him. He has received full pay in arrears 100% of the time there has been a shutdown

he's currently on the beach, as he had planned to be anyway, without being charged vacation time

oh, and Trump's an idiot
 
In the past, essential employees aren’t allowed to take vacation while they’re being required to work.
