I am honestly disgusted with BOTH sides in this mess.  POTUS started it, but the Dems are grandstanding for all they are worth.
TALK TO EACH OTHER AND SETTLE THIS!!!!

Indy, you  need to understand that if the big orange baby gets his wall he will pull shutdown after shutdown to get everything he wants.

The right used to call a "tyrant" while he let them stop everything he was elected  to  do,  now they praise the ochre tumor for acting like a dictator.  This time the dems are saying "No". And being attacked by the same people who wanted to stop Obama at every turn.

I tend to be very Libertarian, so please take that into consideration.  I do feel bad for those who are without income, especially those that are considered "non-essential" yet required to work like the TSA and military.  Personally I feel like if you are required to work, then you should be paid.  It should be those on capital hill that go without pay (hell, they CAN afford it), and they shouldn't get that back pay when the government does reopen.  If a government shutdown effects this many people we should rethink the size of the government.

I agree 100%!  Thumbup

But that will never happen because that makes too much gawddam sense!  Bluesad
That's like wishing aliens landed that ate garbage and p**sed gasoline.

Long ago the cardinals of the Catholic Church met to decide the next Pope, and the factions were so divided the infighting went on and on for weeks until, tired of it all, angry people escorted the cardinals into a building that had no food, water, or roof, then bolted the door from the outside. The Pope was chosen before nightfall.

Just sayin', y'know...?

This is the latest word I've heard on this.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/24/business/wilbur-ross-loans-food-assistance-government-shutdown/index.html?fbclid=IwAR3OFvsWoaIcuRFZRUtIIaLaXhxNLGk3qjPiVTJdp11UnU3kS-QisryKuwc

Get a loan....


I guess this bitter old pr-ck just doesn't get that most people aren't good buddies with big banks willing to give them big bribes disguised ad low interest loans...

I agree with the people who say it's time to get t rich old white guys out of government, and I'm a white guy. We need a lot less rich old white guys in government and more people in touch with what life it like for most americans today.

Problem with loans is the interest. Even if you can get one, do you really want one?

I suppose most folks have a credit card...which they've already overused, making loans impractical to pay for or impossible to get.

What bank would give you a second loan to pay off your a few months of mortgage payments?

I have a good friend who works for the IRS as a supervisor and while he's not one that's being called back into work to file taxes he and two of his staff have to go into work a few hours a week to take care of some priority items, he's just posted that he's taken out a loan to help him cover his bills during the shutdown.

He's not looking at as a vacation, although he's gotten a few crochet and tatting projects finished for the State Fair, and would much rather be working and earning his money not taking out a loan and paying interest because politicians are using his job and income to take a stand. He's a human being not a bartering chip.

I'm not as versed in political correctness as you Sven, so is "POBG" then an acceptable exercise in stereotyping the opposite demographic?

Rich old white man (ROWM) is an accurate description of the right in the government.

How rich? I've never noticed their wealth. Also they seem to be in touch with people who are suffering thru this.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
