Then they found out just how bad the impacts of a long term shutdown are, panicked, and are now desperately combing for an executive authority that will let them say “it’s fine if we sign this Democrat bill, because we’re getting our wall our own way.

I assume that, if that doesn’t work, the line will be “Democrats want to drag this stupid fight out until it completely destroys America, but we will take the high road for the sake of the great American worker and sign the budget bill.”

It’s been two years. Regardless of your political stripes, you should be aware at this point that for Trump there is no high road. Only winning and losing.

I am also positive that if Trump tries to use a state of emergency to use military funding for a border wall after not being successful in advocating for it in the legislature that the executive branch will be sued by congress and it will go before the Supreme Court very quickly.

Heard that on mueller she wrote the other day and I can’t believe it.

You won’t get paid for your government shutting down. But Congress will. Most everything in D.C. will.



Just go home. They’re not paying you they won’t pay you back for time worked during shutdown. Just go home.

Did you see the story about how the shutdown means that a raise for people in the White House will go through? All while Trump stopped a general raise for gov't workers?

And they'll "find out whether or not the Kavanaugh fight was worth it."
