[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

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?[/quote]

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.[/quote]
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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

As opposed to the 66 million who voted for the other candidate.[/quote]

Thank God the founding fathers created the electoral college to protect control by the few for the masses!  I can go on all day...[/quote]

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.[/quote]

In 2008, Obama won with a majority of 52.9% and 69 million votes - only 6 million more than Trump got in 2016.  The media and Obama called it a "MANDATE" and lied and cheated (Cornhusker kickback comes to mind) to get the votes for Obamacare passage.  What is different than now and why isn't this campaign promise called a Mandate?

Meanwhile back on planet earth, 79% of Americans polled believe we need better border security.[/quote]

Hello. Obama won the majority of the vote.  Trump did not.  Obama also got 6 million more votes than Trump.

You're welcome.[/quote]
