That's pretty much my backyard. Can confirm, there's a lot of NIMBY going on in Santa Monica and Venice... "walls are bad on the border, but please put some more up by the beach!"

 

And I'm guessing none of these NIMBY people notices the irony of this stance?

  • In this case, the "leader" of the Senate is following orders from POTUS and refusing to allow the Senate to consider bills to open the government

 

Mitch McConnell gets more ***** for being Harry Reid than Harry Reid ever did.

  • If you want a wall and think that getting it at any cost is worth it, just consider that they other side is going to be able to do the same thing when they come to power.  And they're going to come to power with a vengeance after this, because no-one believes that anyone but the POTUS is responsible for this mess, and most Americans are savvy enough to realize a wall isn't going to protect the country from a manufactured crisis.  

 

:lol:  That's exactly what's going on NOW.  The previous administrations and Congresses set the precedent for this "elections have consequences" dipshittery.  I'm surprised McConnell hasn't tried to get around the Senate Democrats' filibuster and pass an appropriations bill with the wall added back in via "reconciliation," as the Democrats did with the ACA.   YOU created this mess.  Many, many of us warned you, the ends does not justify the means.  You said it does.  Now ***** own it.

  • If you don't mind that people are suffering because a supposed "leader" is having a temper tantrum, that's somewhat telling.  And remember next time it could be you caught in the middle.

 

It's been me caught in the middle several times before.  Ironically, Pelosi's "leadership" was responsible the first time, too.

It is when they’re paid with money from my pocket that I don’t want to part with.

 

Further, one reason I’m a conservative is because I believe government can’t do anything well. I rest my case on government employees. I will shed them no tears. 

 

Maybe this will encourage them to get real jobs.

Make PPP great again. 

I truly hope that kid in your pic isn't yours. If it is I weep for his future. I'm hoping by 8 he will have enough intelligence to realize you're worthless garbage.

No mention of anyone’s child should exit your disgusting pie hole here. 

 

The @Moderator may be ok with you talking about our children because this is PPP but I’m not.

Be careful what you wish for.

 

Oops... They had a short reprieve... But the shutdown is lingering.  I guess they will miss their next check:

 

https://www.militarytimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2018/12/29/coast-guard-members-will-get-paid-next-week-despite-the-government-shutdown/

 

"...But Coast Guard funding is handled through the Department of Homeland Security, and about 42,000 service members have been required to work through the shutdown without pay.

Ray noted in his message that the funding work-around will not apply to the next scheduled pay period on Jan. 15, if the shutdown continues until then. ..."

Show me one poll where they blame Democrats more than Trump.  Just one.

It's nice to have a president who doesn't govern by polls.

Where did polls get you in the 2016 election?

 

Trump is the one willing to negotiate, not the Democrats. That's why I say it's a Democratic shutdown. Are they willing to negotiate in good faith or do they just simply refuse to give Trump a win?

 

By the way, all sides are to blame, not just one.
