trump has a curious habit of saying the quiet part out loud.

[struth]

He suggested no such thing,

Look up the definition of vengeance

 

[Harry Dresden]

Bullshit you know what I meant... you really are not very bright...

words have meaning dumbass.....doing the same jobs in different buildings....means just that.....doing the same ******* jobs...

 

[Concerned American]

And of course the reprehensible right attempts to defend the indefensible.

There is no defense of Trump’s campaign of political vengeance and retribution.

Funny how you folks are all about political vengeance and retribution after practicing lawfare for eight solid years but you have no problem accusing Trump of this so-called retribution. LOL, why is it you don't deny culpability on the part of the accused. It is also amusing that you never answer the question of "what is it retribution for?" Hmmm. Guess you didn't think that far ahead, eh?

Yep. This madness is fully normalized now. His decisions are 100% partisan, and the rubes will claim that's just normal.

And again: The world has seen this before.

This shutdown from what we read is Progressive caused because it is just an extension of several weeks of the same old. Supposedly there would be some negotiations by the end of the year on future budgets.

Those aren't "fatuous lawsuits" those are grand jury indictments.

Why do you think the original prosecutors involved in the investigations concluded there was no case to be made against Comey and James?

 

[berg80]

They did start it, and they did give Donald Trump complete control over all federal spending by taking themselves out of the appropriations process.

But, statutorily, Dotard doesn't have control over spending. The Constitution gives that to Congress.

Could be a multitude of different things, not the least of which could be political considerations.

It could be, however, we'll find out at trial, right?

Should any American be subjected to defending himself from questionable charges found lacking by the original prosecutors assigned to the case because of the personal animus by the prez for that person? A prez who publicly demanded prosecutions be initiated.

Do you think Comey (or James) would currently be under indictment had trump not intervened?

See, now you're getting into peoples motives I don't think you are qualified to pronounce....

You don't think trump has made his motivation painfully obvious? Have you read his message to the blonde sock puppet? He said he was indicted 5 times and impeached twice, so he wants "justice."

Maybe, maybe not…I don’t know him personally, nor do I ascribe the voices in my head as other people’s motives.

What I think doesn’t matter. What matters is the law, and if they broke the law, they’ll be convicted…If not, they won’t. Simple as that. Unless you’re saying that Democrats are above the law?

 

[beagle9]

Schumer, Jeffries and the democrats are shooting themselves in the foot and making Trump's case for him. The bare bones gov't that is currently operating seems to be working every bit as well as the bloated, obstructive monstrosity that we've seen over the past nine plus years. It is also telling that the leftist press hasn't focused on the fact that Trump has stated many times that the "firings" would comprise non essential, UNFUNDED jobs and they might not come back.

During this transitional period that is very much needed, the government needs to assume that a possible spike in possible crime stats as well as other such mayhem could begin to occur if the situation continues to place dependent people on government checks at higher risk of income failures.

An evaluation of the types of individual's that are to be affected needs to be looked at in these types of situations.

Do you all agree ?

Walking something back off of a ledge takes very skilled steps that always takes in the entire picture before chaos and mayhem erupts.

The key is keeping balance while stepping back towards the ledge in which the nation had been walked out from.

Hopefully this is what is happening.

A congress with its hands tied is exactly where the democrats want to be during a republican admin. Nothing has changed. They obstructed any progress the first Trump admin and this is nothing but a continuation of the same strategy.

 

[Concerned American]

Do you think Trump would have been indicted but for Leticia James' unhinged TDS? No one is above the law. Because Comey is your fair haired little boy, doesn't give him a pass. Again, your lack of denial of his guilt, opting instead for accusations of political retribution, say everything we need know---partisan.

We can't just continue funding government agencies that do nothing but collect taxpayer funded paychecks.

It's almost as though the US population hasn't increased in decades.

Almost...

... Did you write post like this when allegedly Biden and company was doing everything they could to harass, impeach, and prosecute Trump in hopes to bury a political opponent ?

So now you decide to activate when the shoe is on the other foot ? You people are as predictable as knowing immediately what a paper plate will do if it fall's into the fire.

Trump says federal layoffs will be ‘Democrat-oriented’​

President Trump on Friday said the ongoing layoffs of furloughed federal workers amid the government shutdown will be “Democrat-oriented.”

“And it will be Democrat-oriented, because we figure, you know, they started this thing,” he said in the Oval Office about the firings and shutdown. “It’ll be a lot.”

The administration offered no specifics on which agencies or how many people would be affected when it announced the layoffs earlier Friday. But at least 4,100 government employees were already laid off. Here is The Hill’s list of agencies affected so far.

The Senate voted against the House GOP bill to open the government Thursday, and the chamber later left for the Columbus Day weekend. The Senate will not return until Tuesday evening.

As is often the case with the trump government, something like this has never happened before. Not only are high profile people (Dem's) who have been critical of trump under siege from fatuous lawsuits, Joe lunch pail government worker who happens to be a democrat is too.

With all the constant chaos swirling every day this act of unprecedented, vindictive, petulance against Americans guilty of nothing will not get the attention it deserves. It will simply be added to the list of ways trump is tearing the country apart.

The quiet part? That’s the main selling point. Dems shut it down, cut their pet projects first.
