Economy The [Wall / Government Shutdown] Megathread

Didn't MS-13 start as a gang in Texas?

Los Angeles I believe.

So, we've got yet another caravan of up to 2000 people coming from Honduras, filled mostly with military aged males and the rest being overweight women with multiple children. 2 to 3 more caravans are prepping to leave. Who knew being so lenient on the first caravans would have led to this chain reaction? My question is this, when is too much and how does this benefit the United States in any way?

Buy Mexico and build a smaller wall at the south

There is a government website you are supposed to use to report identity theft. Which is somewhat happening to me. Someone is trying to make a few charges on my card. The bank refunded and blocked future orders so nothing was lost. But anyway, that site to report identity theft is down because of the shutdown. I'm assuming this has gone on for weeks. People not being able to report identity theft to who you are supposed to.

Nothing is too much, its more voters for the far left seeing as how key leftist bastions are trying to pass laws to allow immigrants to vote.

I think this is how the DNC thinks they will preserve their party from what they know will be an exodus as more and more leave as they are taken over by far left extremists. Eventually they will turn on their own to appease the permanently offended and slowly drive people away...they need new voters!

Our newest tour guide is a National Park Ranger who has to give ghost tours for some money since she's flat broke now and apparently she's bummed at how people are treating the parks since the Rangers aren't there and it's going to involve massive cleanup when the parks finally open again.

Also did you guys hear about TSA agents blaring hip hop in airports since they don't get paid in fucks and therefore have none to give?

 

[TheFirstEMP]

Reactiva Tijuana Foundation says there’s a caravan of 15,000 headed toward the United States. Again I ask, how many is too much? Is this enough cheap labor and liberal votes to make the left happy?

 

[wolfss]

good with me, most of the country is a fuckin third world shit hole that i wouldn't even want to fly over, let alone fuckin drive through again.

list of states 1000x shittier than california:
1. Nevada (what a fuckin shit hole jesus)
2. Utah (fuckin mormons holy fuck)
3. Idaho (we get it, you grow potatoes - try including something else. although twin falls is a nice town).
4. alaska - people that hate living there so much they rather kill themselves
5. arizona - nobody there except like 3 cities, and only one is a cool place (tucson). phoenix - total shit hole, i would rather fuck a homeless camp in Los Angeles before going back to phoenix
6. montana - hard to even judge since there's fuckin nobody there, just a big fuckin cold wasteland
7. wyoming - shit hole. bunch of retards with guns that don't even know how to use those guns. only redeeming credit is yellowstone national park, one of the best fuckin places in the world
8. new mexico - arizona light, like half the calories and takes piss water and makes it taste even pissier. can do without this fuckin place
9. colorado - liberals too stupid to know anything about politics and self righteous enough to still make crybaby demands. combined with redneck mountain fucks and you got a tiny purple cock trying to fuck the neighboring states but can't due to short reach
10. north and south dakota - why the fuck are there two of these shit holes. it's like having herpes in your dick hole and on your balls at the same time
11. minnesota - snowy fuckin shit hole and people don't even know what's going on. also fuck your accents, it's called fuckin soda not pop you dipshits
12. wisconsin - hey look, more snow and more shit. sign me up for that while i go light myself on fuckin fire
13. nebraska - a state so boring you don't even acknowledge it's existence outside of college football
14. kansas - rednecks that are so culturally inept that they don't get wizard of oz references
15. oklahoma - other than the musical, this place is like having an asshole that never runs out of shit to wipe
16. arkansas - a state where the adults can't even spell the word "education"
17. iowa - corn sucking dipshits that are two twat hairs away from having baby balls.
18. michigan - in case you forgot about snowy shit holes - lets bring up another one
19. missouri - a state so shitty that it's considered a humanitarian crisis
20. mississippi - a state so racist that every time something racist happens in the news everyone in america thinks "must've been mississippi." also a third world shit hole with so much poor white trash that we probably need to start launching mother fuckers into the sun
21. alabama - lol, i won't even. too easy
22. georgia - if vanilla ice cream was a state, it'd be this boring shit hole of a fuck up
23. florida - just, eat a dick florida
24. north / south carolina - your hay day was the revolutionary war. then, you continued to exist and it was all shit from there
25. pennsylvania - philly might literally be the worst place on earth, and that includes if you shoved mississippi up alabama's ass then shoved it down alaska's dick hole for some weird white trash haggis clusterfuck
26. vermont - fuck your hippy fuckin ice cream fuckers. also nobody fuckin lives there, how is it i can drive for so long in such a small shit hole state and never fuckin see anyone else. nobody is supposed to fuckin live there you idiots
27. maine - a state so cold that other cold snowy shit hole states say "at least we aren't fuckin maine, holy shit"

i'm sure i'm forgetting some but whatever, fuck those 27. i'd build the wall myself just so people from those states never ever try to sneak into my awesome state for the fuckin sunshine. you can freeze your balls off in wyoming and go defrost them in arizona you arrogant cockfucks.

awesome states: texas and hawaii. i'd never live in texas but the people there are so hysterically crazy that how can i not love them, and hawaii is just fuckin rad. anywhere else is lukewarm pee or a giant shit in my toilet that won't flush.

Stealing this!!! CALIFORNIA!!!!!

Trumps favorite poll has him down to 43%

That's how the president is keeping you safe

 

[JDragon]

Really wondering how this is gonna be resolved. I mean I don't think this shutdown can be upheld much longer without grave consequences. At the same time, Trump is unlikely to give in. But declaring an emergency to get his money would basically be a coup against congress. So what do you think is gonna happen?

I believe his SOTU, which he will likely do from the WH, will be his hail mary attempt to blame the Democrats and shift public opinion.

I don't think that's identity theft that's just someone got a hold of you credit card. If you see someone trying to buy a house\car in your name or open up a new credit line then that's identity theft.

 

[MicroBrew]

Another case of the MSM resorting to clickbait programming.

Here CNBC brings on a former FBI hostage negotiator to tell us about the situation and what is going to happen.

How does being an FBI hostage negotiator give this guy any more insight into the shutdown situation and what will transpire? CNBC thinks they can grab some viewers if they advertise they have on their program a former FBI negotiator.

All I can say is I hope the Dems do not negotiate with him until he opens the government. Because you don't negotiate with terrorists. And that is exactly what Trump has become here. A terrorist.

He has taken 800,000 Federal workers hostage. And the ransom is $5.7 Billion. Before the shutdown he had a bi-partisan CR sitting on this desk that passed 100-0 in the senate. Do you know how hard it is to get the Senate to agree 100-0 on anything?

He has completely lost it and he is taking the country hostage. Regardless of how people came to vote for this man, anyone that did so should be ashamed of the way he is trying to govern. This is not a dictatorship.

It should also be very alarming to many Republicans out there that so few of them have showed the spine to publicly light Trump up for this. These kind of things do not normally have large impacts on elections. But the election is inching ever closer, and Republicans are defending 22 of the 34 seats being contested.

Blah blah blah... everyone always says this about the other party but it never happens

Remember Hillary had 3 MILLION more votes than insecure in chief. Dems ain’t going anywhere

100% correct. Trump would rather leave millions of people without their paychecks than budge on his vanity wall. The next election is going to be an absolute bloodbath

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

Really wondering how this is gonna be resolved

At a guess, it's going to become so unpopular that the issue will be forced by angered people with good jobs who can't pay their bills because the government is manned by children and babies.

All it would take is for the senate republicans to man up and put some of these bills that will open the government on the floor. They will pass (again) and trump will be forced to veto them which would tell us what we already know. This is the trump vanity wall shutdown

As for your ending...and in the last 2 years how many Democrats have had far LEFTISTS turn on them for the slightest offence? How many of them have grown tired of the constant fear and hate-mongering? How many of them have seen the #metoo movements push to end innocent until proven guilty out the door as a sign of great concern?

I can list dozens of insane shit that has been happening over the last 2 years that have caused the most staunch hippies I know to stop and wonder what the fuck is going on with the Democrats that yes...son...the Democrats are going to push a hell of a lot of people away from them if this shit keeps escalating. They did that shit to me when they openly worked with the media against Sanders...I will never vote for another Democrat as long as the DNC remains what it is, 100% against the actual people and only for the Democratic elite.

Holy crap you posted a meme. I’m convinced and am now on your side!! Thanks for the enlightenment

Holy crap your argument against my points by only talking about the photo at the end put me in my place and convinced me via your sharp intellect and ability to defend your position that I am clearly wrong. I am taken aback by these new insights into reality.
