This is moving into ridiculous levels of stupid.
Senate GOP will stand with Trump,
kill the same funding bill it unanimously passed last month
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/1829137
So the Repug Senate confirms that
the (Repug) Pres can shutdown the govt on a whim,
and the Repugs will provide no checks and balances
(because they know the oligarchy will take care of them for taking care of the oligarchy)
This is moving into ridiculous levels of stupid.
While I'm sure some of the lower paid Feddies are in a serious bind and should get assistance (even before the shutdown), most of the ones holding cushy jerk off positions:
Federal Employees Earn 50% More Than The Private Workforce
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/money...xHTtDOswa7fdOs
Cushy jerk off positions like Border Patrol, TSA, US Armed Forces, Air Traffic controllers, DEA, FBI/CIA, US attorneys, food inspectors, etc....
I already showed you the stats on TSA. 70% of fake weapons make it thru on test runs.
And yes, the CIA and FBI have extreme jerk off positions as part of the whole.
Ask the 9/11 bombers how easy they were to play.
Not insulting the hardworking rank and file workers. Like the ones who brought it to upper managments attention "Hey all these ragheads are taking flying classes. Need to intervene!"
Bizarre things the US Gov't actually spends money on:

Despite your GOVERNMENT BAD hyperbole, the real economy relies on the legal and regulatory framework it provides. Simplistically dismissing government functions as dross and waste per se is dishonest.
All over a couple hundred miles of fence the border patrol and homeland security have requested.
How dumb is that?
You've moved the goalpost to that?
When did Trump publicly say that's all he wanted?
It's dumb that that the US Congress already voted to give Trump 1.6 billion to get started and he turned it down, after saying he'd be cool with that.
All because he saw Ann Coulter ing about it on Fox.
What a moron.
Exactly. them lil hundred miles and open the government up.
The oligarchy has suppressed Real Household Income as essentially FLAT for nearly 40 years, so Capital could destroy the wealth of Labor and pocket what was due to Labor.
private employees, aka Labor, pissed and envious that the govt employees are better off and should to be pulled down private employees' level is proof that Labor losers have bought Capital propaganda that all govt is bad and must be destroyed, which would hurt Labor even more.
Exactly. Give the border patrol what it needs and open the government.

The President shutting down the government until Congress gives him exactly what he wants isn't negotiating nor should rhe US Congress reward it as such.
It's playing chicken with the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of families as well as public safety.
Trump should give up, he's the one who's being an unreasonable .
The House has already voted to open the government, the Senate should just have a voice vote.
The Senate Repugs reversing their unanimous YES-to-open vote a while back to NO-keep-closed vote proves they are truly Trash's party, a party of intimidated, less bags.

The majority of Americans taxpayers disagree with the need of spending billions on a few sections of wall. Shutting down the government over a wall is dumb.

‘This is your fault’: GOP senators clash over shutdown inside private luncheon
“This is your fault,”
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) told Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) at one point, according to two Republicans who attended the lunch and witnessed the exchange.
“Are you suggesting I’m enjoying this?”
McConnell snapped back,
