A NPR/ Ipsos poll last week noted 75% of Americans and the majority of Republicans feel embarassed by the shutdown. It is time to make a deal and reopen the government. If the man who caused the shutdown vetoes it, override it.
The wall has been oversold as a solution based on fear and lies. Please check out the real time fact checking by Chris Wallace in an interview with Sarah Sanders where she was caught in three lies the President has been using to support the wall. We deserve better than this.
This withholding of people’s wages and stopping services to the public for a silly political game is as offensive as anything Trump has done, and that’s against some pretty stiff alternatives.
Roger, you hit the nail on the head. He is screwing 800,000 people who have bills, rents, mortgages and healthcare needs to win an argument. And, it isn’t even a very good argument.
Every previous shut down, the so-called boss or President argued to keep his employees working. In this case, the boss is the one shutting it down. This subtle point is lost on too many.

Roger, Sheila would be proud. The man does make people curse, does he not? Keith
Gumblefutz piscatorium! The Pumpkinhead President has got me cursing in foreign languages. I think it means, “You lie, Mr. President, with the mouth-work of fishes and have bubblegum in your brain!” in the language of Outer East Koomunga.
Mickey, gumblefutz sounds like an apt word. Keith
Thank you. It isn’t easy finding the right word in languages that don’t really exist.
True, but it reads like it applies.
