They actually did not. You act like the GOP is all one party. In actual fact,the reason Trump is unable to get anything done is because he represents a new wing of Republican politics. A populist front that emerged in response to the neocon warmongering Israel-shilling old guard that currently holds more than half the votes in the GOP. Every time he tries to implement his agenda,his own party attempts to throw power to the democrats either by leaking,losing on purpose,quitting or digging in their heels and adamantly fighting against anything good for the country.

Take Jennifer Rubin,for example. Claims to be the Washington Post's only "conservative",yet spends most of her time parroting HUFFington Post's talking points. No,we haven't had two years. We haven't even been given a month of actual right wing rule because both parties were exactly the same neoliberal puppet show before Trump. We probably won't actually get to truly enjoy the franchise without our wishes being aggressively trampled on and opposed by both "sides" of our so-called "representatives" the way everyone else does until after Trump is no longer president if he doesn't declare martial law and have all of these people put before a military tribunal and executed after a trial.

 

Well said.

Except for the Military Tribunals.

 

LOL, yep, Empress Nancy has no clothes....

 

So much for bipartisan... He only waited until now so he could blame the democrats.

 

And you really believe the military will follow Trump? You are delusional.

 

God, the smile on my face when I heard about this rivals the one I had when Alabama got their asses kicked....did Pelosi really think there wouldn't be a response to her pettiness?

 

Hehehehehehe.

 

The hell if I know what the reasoning behind it was. And the hell if I know why Pelosi is being difficult.

Ya know...''we need top pay for ($5.6 billion wall) before we can see what it is.'' just about the same as ''we need to pass this ($1 trillion healthcare package) before we can see what's in it''

However, what we are seeing here is pure unadulterated leftists obstructionism at it's finest.

 

The amount of time and energy wasted on this makes me lack faith in humanity.

 

Relax.

 

What part of "The government is shutdown" says "but the person in charge of negotiating for Democrats should skip town for a week?"

The '800,000 without a paycheck' are guaranteed to go another week without one while she's away. That just shows SHE is the one who is determined to keep the shutdown going as long as possible.

 

Jane you Ignorant Slut .
Forget it you will never get it . till to start paying tax's like the rest of working America does .

 

Who Gets to Fly During the Government Shutdown? Nancy Pelosi? No. Melania Trump? Yes

As the government shutdown rages on, it’s not just commercial flying that’s affected; now some members of government are being prevented from flying too.

After House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked President Donald Trump to delay his State of the Union address, Trump on Thursday blocked Pelosifrom using military aircraft for a bipartisan congressional trip to Afghanistan.

In his letter to Pelosi, Trump wrote, “In light of the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay, I am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate.”

“I also feel that,” he continued, “during this period, it would be better if you were in Washington negotiating with me and joining the Strong Border Security movement to end the shutdown.”

But just hours later, First Lady Melania Trump reportedly used another military aircraft to fly to Florida for a weekend vacation at the Trump family’s private Mar-a-Lago resort. (The White House didn’t immediately return Fortune‘s request for comment on the first lady’s trip.)

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a Thursday statement that the Davos trip was canceled “out of consideration for the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay and to ensure [Trump’s] team can assist as needed.”

Trump himself had already canceled his own travel to Davos. The delegation was to be comprised of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Secretary of State Michael Pompeo, and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, among others.

While Trump canceled Pelosi’s and his delegation’s trips due, in part, to the federal employees who are furloughed or working without pay, his wife’s unaffected flight tells us what we already know: that the cost of using government planes isn’t the only thing at play. As the shutdown enters its fourth week with no sign of ending, the tit-for-tat between Trump and Pelosi, his Democratic rival, is also a matter of politics. His delegation’s trip to Davos, meanwhile, is a matter of optics.

At the same time, the prolonged shutdown means average Americans who wish to fly air are facing risks of potentially weakened airport security due to Transportation Security Administration shortages and diminished plane inspections.

Sen. Lindsey Graham flies to Turkey, meets with Erdogan to discuss US withdrawal from Syria

U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday to discuss Syria as the United States prepares to withdraw its troops from the war-torn country.

The two met behind closed doors to discuss the creation of a “safe zone” in northeast Syria, according to reports.

Graham has raised concerns about President Trump’s plan to withdraw American forces from Syria, asserting the pullout would endanger Kurdish allies in the region and embolden the Islamic State terror group.

 

Lindsay ought to shut the fuck up for awhile im not sure about that guy . I do know he loves war though . He must have stock in a military supply company

 

Shooter has a new requirement for Trump opening the government.
Going forward, if any part of government is shut down because of political bickering, no member of Congress will be paid, and they are required to remain in session until the government is reopened. The President and cabinet members don't get paid until government is reopened.

Fuck this childish weenie wagging.

 

I knew, I just knew it...Pelosi has a weenie to wag.
