A preliminary meeting five hours before "it's too late"

[usmbguest5318]

Excellent preliminary meeting in Oval with @SenSchumer – working on solutions for Security and our great Military together with @SenateMajLdr McConnell and @SpeakerRyan. Making progress – four week extension would be best!

WTF? A government shutdown is currently about five hours away from happening and the GOP hopes to blame a shutdown, if it happens, on Democrats and only two hours ago did Trump see fit to invite Chuck Schumer to the White House to have what he describes as a "preliminary" meeting. Seriously!?!

Nevermind that Trump, well before becoming POTUS, had plenty to say about government shutdowns (Source):

Stocks rose yesterday during the first day of government shutdown. Markets like being left alone for a day.

Our country needs a good "shutdown" in September to fix mess!

As a presidential candidate in 2015, Trump also backed a strategy proposed by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz to attach a rider defunding Planned Parenthood to a spending bill and force a shutdown.​

Why doesn't Trump now like the notion of the government shutting down? Simple: it'll be an unprecedented one --- first one in modern history where the government shuts down with one party controlling Congress and the WH -- and it'll be on his watch. Well, folks wanted different, and that's different; no other POTUS having his party control Congress has done it. It'll be yet another first/superlative for Trump.

The longer the government is shut down, the less damage the dotard can do

 

[whitehall]

Trump wants to fund the Military and government. Democrats want to protect illegal aliens. The issues are clear.

 

[Vastator]

Government shutdown doesn't actually do what the name implies. Too bad... It'd be better if it did.

 

[basquebromance]

 

[easyt65]

The government 'shut down' earlier this evening. It will be 'shut down' all weekend...

- All non-essential employees went home
- All govt agency offices are closed
- There are no 'night shifts'

What happens when one of those "illegal aliens" happens to also be in the military? Puts you a bit in a bind, doesn't it, moron?....LOL

Trump, as always, is correct.

 

[Marion Morrison]

Fuck the Fed. Perma-shut down for all I care. All we need is the army, maybe a little EPA.

 

[dcbl]

if the democrats want to shut down the government, why not let them?

the only way to prevent it is to do away with the filibuster rule altogether

dems need to compromise; they are in no position to demand amnesty for 3.6 million people

There aren’t any illegal aliens in the military, dumbass. Aliens can go into the military but they must be in the process of becoming legal, therefor they are not illegal.

Unfortunately, undocumented aliens (even with DACA) are not currently eligible to enlist in the U.S. armed forces.

So you're saying without illegal's our military would suffer. Then why don't we just have Mexico's military take over our role in the world?

Simple question.

Can our military survive and be the best in the world without illegals? Or do we need them so bad we can't get bye?

Thank you. 47% of the blame, according to that poll, accrues to the GOP, the party that controls the operations of Congress and holds the Presidency.

There are about 900 of them in the military.

Really? I think that's a very myopic statement that you've made.
