[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The shutdown has little to do with security or even campaign promisies. It’s a way for Trump to, once again, control the narrative. He gives a rats ass about anything other than keeping the story on him.

Because you would prefer democrats control the narrative: Impeach! Mueller! Russia! [/quote]

I would prefer we open the government and pass laws they HELP people. What do you want?

You can’t own the libs forever.[/quote]

I would prefer they keep the govt closed and pass less laws. We've had 200+ years of government and we have laws running out of our a****.

Maybe it's time to take a break from anymore unelected workers imposing more policy, law and paper on us.  I don't need Washington DC to run every aspect of my life, unlike you hope for.[/quote]
Great idea!  Right now we have laws passed by elected people and regulations (to implement the laws these elected people passed) written by subject matter experts who are career professionals whose only loyalty is to the Constitution and who serve the interests of the people. 
What we seem to be moving towards is a system where the elected officials of one party doesn’t question the will of the president even when his actions might harm their constituents.  Instead of regulations being written by career professionals who are subject matter experts we have former lobbyists installed at agencies like the EPA and Interior departments and they are intent on dismantling regulations that protect people and on giving our national treasures away to private companies. Most fundamentally they don’t seem to want to uphold that bedrock democratic institutions: the rule of law. No one should be above the law in a democracy    We have seen so much corruption by Cabinet officials and high level political appointees and we now have a corrupt toady (Whittaker) as acting AG   [/quote]
