The amount of hate you feel for members of the Coast Guard and the Border Patrol and ICE and so many more is remarkable.
What did they ever do to you? Did the CG take you drugs or something?
You guilt/shame better than most commies.
If they mean so much to you fuckers, give us a wall.
This is fiscal terrorism on the part of Donald Trump. He's holding the salaries of 800,000 government workers hostage to his desire to build a wall that the rest of the country opposes. Americans oppose the wall SO much that they elected a Democratic House, something that is nearly impossible to do because of gerrymandering, to stop it.
"rest of the country opposes" LOL
"nearly impossible to do because of gerrymandering" - but it's happening nearly every midterm
The worst of the gerrymandering began after Obama was elected, and many state houses were solid red. The idea was to cement the Republican majority before demographics overcame them. As at the 2018 mid-terms, statisticians have said this gave Republicans a 7% advantage in House elections.
So yes, when Trump loses the House, by 6 million votes, that's absolutely a refusal by the public to allow Trump an unfettered hand in goverance. Add to that, 7 Governors' mansions, and 6 state Houses shows that Americans across the nation are rejecting the political lies of the Republican Party in general.
Republican policies have not delivered on promises of a better life for working people. In fact, they're destroying that illusion, and nothing is shaming the Republican government more than the spectre that middle class federal employees are one pay check away from the food bank. Daily interviews with federal employees who are rationing food and insulin because of the lack of a pay check are adding to the storyline that the Republican Party in general, and Donald Trump in particular, is totally insensitive to the damage they're doing to the economy, and the appearance that they just don't care about everyday Americans.
Trump asking landlords and mortgage companies to withhold legal action against federal employees on account of the shutdown, doesn't mean that these people won't have to catch up the payments later, and those workers who aren't being paid for the shutdown period are going to be in a world of hurt.
Yeah Melania. Fly away to Florida on vacation using a government plane staffed by employees who aren't being paid. Let them eat cake!
