USA government shutdown becomes longest in US history
- Thread starter Taki
- Start date
eventually? Probably one of the sole reasons he did it, so he's guaranteed to be in the history books for having the longest something.
However it ends he'll almost certainly claim victory afterwards
Sure, people will only die, lose their livelihoods, and see their families torn apart, but I'm sure it will be all worth it when we make the comeback.
It's only minorities, women, the gays, after all. Can't expect white people to face the brunt of it. No sir.
I'd like to once again thank the electoral college for sticking us with this shitlord. I cannot think of a more necessary component of our election system.
Don't worry, my co-workers fully support him and want him to stand firm.. they are getting paid this week, though. Doubt they'd be singing that tune if they weren't guaranteed their next paycheck.
Even anarcho-capitalism features a plan of source.
This is more third reich, competing teams of fuckwits out-sycophating each other like crabs in a bucket
For me it's hard to understand that some psychopath can be the president of the USA without some very clever people making a plan to do so.
But life always finds a way, that's true.
Poor people in this country are predominantly white by sheer number.
Nothing will happen until there are massive protests in Washington, republicans getting screamed at everywhere, essential workers stop showing up, shutting down airports, etc...
Is the dumbass still calling it a "strike," because he actually has no idea how this works??
1, which was yesterday. Another 2 weeks of this, and it will be 2.

I get that the Democrats want this to be Trump's shutdown, but they really need to shine the spotlight on McConnell some more. The turtle needs to be tar and feathered back to Kentucky.
No coup yet? I guess the amount of tolerance we have around here for a white dude fucking all kinds of shit up is at least noteworthy. If we gave everyone else this much leeway, we'd be the chillest.
If you couldn't have essential employees shut downs would never happen.
As soon as airports shut down and secret service stayed home they would figure it out.
Do you want chaos in the streets? Because that's how you get it.
A shutdown shouldn't be how you negotiate legislation anyway.
Government workers should work uninterrupted while lawmakers hash out laws. A shutdown holds millions of Americans hostage so one side can get votes they don't want to offer concessions for. It's a breakdown of the democratic process. The equivalent of someone turning off the lights so you can't play the next round of Risk.
Holy shit, there needs to Ben a movie where this happens. 20 years after a government shut down and stopped all paychecks. People killing each other with bare hands to survive.
Global economic shut down.
Oh I agree. I'm just pointing out how Democrats always have the upper hand and usually get their stuff through.
Well you damn well better believe chaos in the street would end this pointless shut down very quickly. But actually just the threat that there would be chaos in the street would probably be enough for a shut down like this to never happen in the first place.

Isn't this Trumps end game if he works for the Kremlin?
Find a way to shut it down and keep it shut down?

The reason pubs were blamed with Obama in charge was because they honestly had both the house and the Senate and they were using the budget to get things like Obamacare repeal among other things.
