This shutdown is pissing me off so bad. I don’t comment on politics very often. But I have to on this one.
This shutdown is affecting almost a million families because they are not getting paid. They have no or less income that is affecting their ability to pay rent/mortgage, bills, buy food and other necessities.
Meanwhile, these asshole millionaires are still getting paid!!!
And while they should not be getting paid during the shutdown, it would have little impact on them because they are millionaires to begin with. They have all their money, plus what they get from lobbyists and their investments and everything else that puts them on a level so far above the rest of us. So, yes, I agree that they should not get paid, but it would not affect them.
Because of trumps ego, and the hatred towards him from creatures like pelosi, the Shutdown will go on for probably another month. And trump lives to get in the record books and is probably grabbing pussy over the thought of having the longest shutdown is history. Hell, I bet he will bait pelosi and be obstinate on purpose just to keep this going as a show of his stubbornness just so he can say he stood up to the dems and did not cave and will get his wall. Maybe he and some of his billionaire friends could pay for his fucking wall if they want it so bad. The millions of dollars that come in every single day from special interest groups could be used to build the wall instead of padding their slimy pockets. And no matter if they build this wall, if you build it, they will come-anyway. The immigrants will find a way around, over, under; or get on boats and get into the country that way. Plus, it will mean little without more border guards, more marine patrols, drone squads-whatever they need to stop people getting into the country.
And they absolutely do not care that they are potentially destroying families and neither side will cave, so this will go on for weeks. They really don’t seem to care that fed workers can’t pay their bills. So fucking what, these assholes are making gestures of giving their pay to their staff. So fucking what! That does nothing To help the real workers and families that are being hurt by this shit show.
Besides not getting paid, everyone of these assholes should be forced to be in chambers every single day until the shutdown is over. They should have to be at work every day, weekends as well, sitting in a room and working this out. That is the quickest way to end this.
There are too many giant egos and vendettas to get this solved. Trump won’t budge on the wall, neither will pelosi, who sees the wall as an affront to her voters and ideals so This will go on and on and on.
Take the money you want for the wall and beef up border or fund police departments to be able to offer better wages to be able to attract decent candidates for police work. You say you are pro police, pass something like Clinton’s omnibus crime act bill which added 200 k officers in 1996
Finally, while you are pissing around use your damn emergency powers to pass a law that pays fed workers.
Do that ! They deserve to be paid. Lock these clowns in a room until they solve these issues.
And will this affect our tax returns??’
To sum it up. No pay for all entire fed employees includes fed government. But I say pass emergency law to pay fed employees so they can feed families and pay bills. And finally make them work every day if the week until they solve this issue. You have senators going on vacations while people are working and not getting paid. And we should not have to pay fed income tax until this is over. Don’t be surprised if this goes to sixty days.
