We were notified our budget will not be impacted unless the federal shutdown lasts until March. We may anticipate layoffs at that time.

Is there a difference between furlough and lay-off? Can you collected employment security if you have been laid off?

So are you working right now with pay?

Yes I am

False crisis, you mean like the food pantries preparing to serve coast guard members? https://connectingvets.radio.com/articles/food-banks-support-coast-guard-families-through-government-shutdown

Or the food safety inspections that aren't taking place? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/09/health/shutdown-fda-food-inspections.html

Or the increase in TSA agents calling in sick? https://www.thrillist.com/news/nation/tsa-agents-calling-out-sick-government-shutdown

Or the damage to our beautiful national treasures in places like Joshua Tree and Yellowstone?

Or the contractors and small businesses that are losing money and won't get it back?

Or the families that are shut out of Smithsonian museums?

One thing I do know is the shutdown will cost a sh!t ton of money to taxpayers, as people like me and others have to work overtime to make up for the weeks we lost. My job has constant deadlines and I'm going to have work late nights to meet them once I return. And that's time and a half.

Never mind the lost revenue at national parks and museums.

The stupidity is mindboggling.

First world problems...

Meanwhile tell the 32 families that died in Texas at the hands of illegals in 2018 that their grief is "stupid" and "mindboggling".

What will you tell the families whose children die of e coli infections or whose planes crash because there aren't enough air traffic controllers willing to work for free because you're too busy playing politics to run the Government like a civilized country?

That's easy - I would tell them to self identify as one of the 58 genders on facebook and the left will give you free healthcare and a livable wage for the rest of their life. Meanwhile the Constitutional Republic will continue to erode.

Sure, and the 32 people killed and Texas should have defended themselves with their AR-15s. Nanny staters like you are kidding yourselves if you think the government can actually protect you from anything.

Thank God for the 2nd amendment for those who choose to protect themselves from anyone! Meanwhile the goalpost strategy of Pelosi in her presser just now isn't lost on the 63 million who voted for 45.

I will also remind you that trump tried to spout lies about terrorists streaming across the southern border that were refuted by statistics from his own government.

But my point now is:

Why no attention paid by Rs to the much larger number of deaths from gun violence?

The amount of crime from illegal immigrants should be 0. Because they shouldnt be here in the first place. That is what I think you're missing here. Even one crime by one of them is 100% avoidable.

Every death by gun violence is avoidable if you ban all guns.

Their grief is terrible, as is the grief of the thousands of families who lose loved ones to gun violence every single year. I'm sure you agree and because you are so concerned about the grief of those who lose loved ones to violence, I'm you would also agree that their grief is not worth the lack of limits on 2nd amendment rights.

The shutdown is still mindbogglingly stupid and costing the nation millions of dollars, and is completely unnecessary. Trump is a self-styled master negotiator. If he were a true master negotiator, he should sign the bill that the house and senate passed last year (that now has to be resubmitted) in order to re-open the government, and negotiate his border security solutions separately. If you disagree you must be admitting he is not a great negotiator but a fraud.

Sure you can. Buty the one thing you can't do is cite the 63 million who voted for Spanky as a justification for him doing whatever he wants because you think it represents the will of the people or "the masses."

Also you might want to take a math class. Because in this case, "the few" represents the 63 million who voted for your candidate and "the masses" represents 66 million who voted for the other. To put it in laymen's terms: 66 million is greater than 63 miillion. Which means a smaller group of Americans determined the direction of the country over the objections of the masses who didn't want that direction.

He said that a few times before and signed anyway. He was ready to sign this time until Anne Coulter ordered him not to. Also, this budget has border security. He has money for border security from last year that he still hasn't spent. Border security does not equal a wall.

The Democrats would do that, they're not the party of No. Negotiate means they give and Trump gives. Up until now, he hasn't tried that.

The already had a deal of wall money for DACA and he reneged. Pence almost worked out another deal before the shutdown, but Trump publicly humiliated Pence and killed that deal. Why do you think they are so mistrustful now?
