US Government Shutdown- It's Over!... For Now

[Dresderstan]

Just his name in ten-foot tall letters: TRUMP!TRUMP!TRUMP!

Oh, wait, you mean ... never mind.

Petition to spell "Subscribe to Pewdiepie" on the wall!

Yes.

V.P. Mike Pence and group had a productive meeting with the Schumer/Pelosi representatives today. Many details of Border Security were discussed. We are now planning a Steel Barrier rather than concrete. It is both stronger & less obtrusive. Good solution, and made in the U.S.A.

Is this a way Trump looks like a compromiser while also escalating the shutdown with the "both stronger & less obtrusive" part?

A "steel barrier"?

Wouldn't that be a fucking iron bar fence?

If so, it seems that he has attempted to explain that he agreed upon a fence in a rather bizarre way.

It's a fence, but not a fence, because fences aren't walls, and winner who win bigly build walls.

Yes but if they do not get their CHECKS. Then it will hurt THEM, PERSONALLY. So far cutting taxes hurts OTHER PEOPLE. People they don't LIKE. People they think DESERVE to suffer.

Wait till the MAGA-hat wearing brigade realizes THEY are people POTUS doesn't care about because they aren't billionaires and conmen.

The MAGA-hat wearing brigade are generally too thick to connect the dots and make that realisation.

When the refunds don't show up, they will be outraged.

Sounds like there's just going to be an extension of the existing fence.

Interesting if true.
We'll see what the democrats say to this.

Either way Trump seems to have calmed down for now but it's clear he'll press the button if things don't go his way.

Pilots direct letter at Trump..

Finally, at both the FAA and at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the air traffic controllers, airspace system maintenance personnel, and the airline passenger security workforce are being asked to work unpaid. They are dutifully providing safety of life services while facing increasingly difficult financial pressures to provide for those dependent on their paycheck. The pressure these civil servants are facing at home should not be ignored. At some point, these dedicated federal employees will encounter personal financial damages that will take a long time from which to recover, if at all.

Happy flying peeps..

If the talks collapse, then yeah, it's GG.

Trump saying he could compromise by calling the wall something else...

How about the Taco Curtain?

Could call it The Overcompensation.

Don't forget about those federal correctional officers, too. I wonder how long it'll take for the prison riots to start when the guards don't show for work.

Magnets.

There is no stable configuration of magnets that allows things to float indefinitely without motion.

I'm down for permanently spinning exclamation points.

I don't think a little spinning will be a concern.

[Cedoria]

Which they are not going to do. It does not have the votes to pass the House or the Senate.

Emergency powers?

I remember hearing something about that.

No Jar Jar Binks to vote them to him. That's a problem.

They won't go his way I suspect. Dems kiss goodbye to any fragile cred they still have the second they cave. They're under as much pressure as him.

Are you sure about that?

[Thermodolia]

Except...nobody called her an idiot?

But it strikes me as odd to assume the worst when someone posts what is obviously satire.

Gallo already posted said article so that’s probably why it looks that way

Does that mean Jar jar is the zodiac killer?

[Azlaake]

So........ The government is shutting down because Trump won't get his money? How corrupted our government is!

Darth Jar Jar, more evil that we could have guessed.
