Predisent Donald J. Skroob: Episode VIII: I'm Surrounded By Hamberders

I will be ripshit if the Dems cave on this at all. Because you know after that every time he will just hold the government hostage anytime he wants something approved.

We don't negotiate with terrorists.

in what universe is that a compromise lol, "hey if you build me this wall i'll turn the federal government back on". has this fellow ever made an actual deal where someone had equal negotiating power in his life

Even mitch is having an issue because he can't really tell Donald what to do and he's trying to navigate a system where he can get re-elected in 2020 without having a pro-Trump primary challenger.

We're all so fucked.

I saw a post with mental gymnastics of the wall funding saying technically Mexico is still paying for the wall and not us, because we won't have to pay for deportations anymore.

"Coast Guard families told they can have garage sales to cope with government shutdown."

Apparently it was in a tip sheet that was given to Coast Guard members but has since been removed once WP asked about it after seeing it. The irony of CG members not being paid over a border funding dispute is not lost on them I'm sure.

sell your shit because we can't get ours together

I mean they're still expected to come in and work.

Welp, he's dropped "Fake News Media" and just straight up calling out the Mainstream Media by name now.

This is what happens when those are running the gov't are too rich to care about what they are doing to those under them.


And that'll probably never change.

All these stories and nobody has yet missed a paycheck. Fuck me, it's like there is a media collusion between dems and certain media outlets.

I’d explain how payroll works, but you’re being intentionally obtuse. People are going to miss paychecks. That’s not even a question. If they reopened in 10 minutes and payroll somehow managed to process back pay instantaneously, people will still miss paychecks.

Also. This is not their name, and has always been a stupid thing to call the "not far right" news. Fox had the best ratings of all of them for years, they would literally be the most mainstream media. Its a nonsense term used to take away their credibility.

I'm curious how much you actually believe this.

The breakdown came just two days before some 800,000 federal workers will miss their paychecks, spreading financial pain to families across the country. Far from a compromise to end the standoff, Trump heads to the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas on Thursday to rally support for building a wall, the central issue in the standoff.

Anyone with an extension ladder will be able to trump Trump's wall.

And honestly how far out are we from drones that can carry people? 5 years? Less?

Didn't someone already do this to get into the White House Lawn? They have a wall/fence right?
