How Long Will The Shutdown Last? (Dec 2018)

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

I decline, I am overflowing in work, so much so my business is having problems keeping up do to my refusal to hire employees.

Buried in the booming Trump economy is where I have lived the entire last year plus.

Oh my, what happened to "I offered people such and such an hour and they won't take it"?
You lie like it's a bodily function.

Come over to Butte and I will pay you $32.70 an hour. Thats why I wont hire anyone, plus you probably do shitty work and wouldnt show up like all the others.

I will just do it myself

The Hill - Bipartisan group of senators will urge Trump to reopen government for 3 weeks

A bipartisan group of senators is circulating a letter urging President Trump to support a stopgap bill that would fully reopen the federal government.

The letter, drafted by Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Christopher Coons (D-Del.), could be sent to the White House as soon as Wednesday.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who has signed onto the letter, told reporters that the senators would be asking the president to support a three-week continuing resolution (CR) in exchange for taking up his border wall request as a supplemental appropriations bill.

"Why not work it through the proper channels, which is what some of the most seasoned statesmen have recommended. And that's how the letter came about," Manchin said when asked about the pitch to get Republicans to back the effort.

Graham — who along with Coons is circulating the letter among senators — separately told reporters that he was backing a stopgap bill with the understanding that "we're going to try to get a deal."

Without fanfare, President Trump signed into law Wednesday afternoon a measure ensuring that federal workers will get paid for lost wages during the partial government shutdown.

Mr. Trump signed the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019, which requires the compensation of government employees for wages lost, work performed, or leave used during the shutdown that began on Dec. 22.

The bill-signing took place in the Oval Office, without news cameras present.

Trump is a cornered animal. He isn't backing down.

So override his veto. Problem solved. Fuck him.

But the GOP is a neutered, pathetic sad sack of shit.


We deserve this.

No we don't.

Exactly.

People that voted for Trump and still support him deserve this.

[Ibanez]

No we don't.

Of course we do. We've allowed Republicans and Democratic leaders to get away with this shit. It's on us. We're the electorate.

[mainejeff]

No we don't.

Of course we do. We've allowed Republicans and Democratic leaders to get away with this shit. It's on us. We're the electorate.

Oh yes......we have SOOOooo much power!

[Ibanez]

Of course we do. We've allowed Republicans and Democratic leaders to get away with this shit. It's on us. We're the electorate.

Oh yes......we have SOOOooo much power!

Those politicians didn't elect themselves into office. We did that.


Americans are just too fucking lazy and stupid to do anything about it.

Quit while you are behind. Who the fuck are we supposed to vote for?

[dbackjon]

No we don't.

Of course we do. We've allowed Republicans and Democratic leaders to get away with this shit. It's on us. We're the electorate.

Oh BS with the Both Sides crap. Not claiming the Democrats are perfect, but the shit the GOP and Trump are pulling go far, far beyond any faults.

It is attitudes like yours that allow this crap to happen.

Someone better than Pelosi, Graham, King, Sanders, etc... We've relinquished our duty to check and balance the power. It's our fault. We don't hold them accountable. We pass the buck and give passes to "leaders" that share our political leanings but ultimately, it's our fault.

And if you are too fucking stupid to understand that, then you really shouldn't be involved in the process.

Exactly. People are trying to give McConnell an out. He doesn't get one. He's a spineless fuck by nature, but he needs to nut up for once in his life. He could gain some respectability for the Republican Party by showing Trump that Congress runs the appropriations process. Not a spoiled, rich, petulant bitch of a President.

You forgot Trump, fuckhead.

I'm not sure what that means but you're a perfect example (as is AG1) of the mentality. "The Democrats aren't perfect but...." Who cares...they both suck. Both parties have feckless leaders. This could've been over in December if McConnell and the Republicans had any balls to stand up to Trump.

Attitudes like mine? What's that? Stating the obvious that we have shitty leadership in this country?

And this comes from someone that votes Democrat most of the time, especially at the federal and state levels.

[mainejeff]

No we don't.

Amen! McConnell is a grifter extraordinaire. If it weren't for his wife's family financing his Senate career....he would be a nobody.

I didn't forget Trump. He's the reason we're in this mess, maybe you should stop assuming everything someone other than Dback on here is a Republican and fucking read what people post. You'll see that I have no issues calling him out...and I have. Repeatedly.

I swear, you are the laziest and most hateful poster here...and that's saying a lot because we have AG.

I think that goes for quite a few politicians. McConnell needs to be called out for his inability to lead.

Said by the same guy that was perfectly fine with the Democratic leadership and cabal that ran roughshod over and stampled out democracy in the nomination process in 2016 so to anoint Clinton as the Democratic nominee when Sanders was there as the voice of change and would've beaten Trump in the general election. Your ignorance and complicitness with the crony political status quo in the party that you blindly support is just as guilty of getting us into this. For shame, dback, for shame.
