[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else find that the news media (depending on your stripes) is reporting this shutdown differently?  Obviously the false crisis being reported by the left isn't working.  Meanwhile in Texas alone last year 32 people died at the hands of "undocumented workers" - that is the real crisis while the "manufactured" crisis of the shutdown continues.[/quote]

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".[/quote]

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.
