Sharp Words Over Shutdown When Lawmaker Visits WWII Memorial

as a general rule, if you posted it, the content is likely to be found stupid

By what authority have you determined this? Have you thought this up all by yourself, without any government manual or direct or indirect order. Some evolution happening right here and now!

OK just wanted to make sure were not following a script here? I'm gonna read up on Ronnie and the air traffic controllers now.
 
In what universe are republicans kicking anyone off of food stamps let alone targeting vets?

Republicans wanted food stamp reform, of course that translates into the progressive mind as "republicans want to see everyone starve."

You progressives love abuse of social programs - you love it and don't give a **** if these programs are being abused....

Meanwhile food stamps are being purchased by shady store owners at 50 cents on the dollar - not only that but they're being used to buy products that are unessential forbidden such as alcohol, cigarettes, pre-made food products , fast food, soda etc....
The universe is ours right now.
You have no idea what you are talking about. There haven't been " stamps" to pay for food for decades.
The SNAP program for food assistance uses what looks like a credit card ... not "stamps" . It is a holdover misnomer.
Any illegal purchases would show up immediately in the purchase record and retailers would be admonished and fined.
The worst that can happen is that a SNAP participant can buy food with their SNAP card and sell it at a discounted price to someone who is not on the program...OMG someone who can't afford full price food gets to eat! What an abuse!
The fact is that the recent SNAP program cuts the republicons passed took food out of the mouths of 170,000 Veterans and 5000 veteran families. A full 47% of the people who will be receiving less food now are children under 18 and 9% are senior citizens...
Aren't you proud?

It very often is ...and thaaaaat can not be denied.

Right! Disagreeing with the president has gone from our patriotic duty, to being raaaaacism.
 
Do not be a weasel. The Republicans are not refusing to fund the govt. How done know this... They're not individual spending bills, you know, actual appropriations bills just as we did for 200+ years. And the Democrats refuse to even consider that.

So your qualifier of unless is meaningless because the Republicans are, in Fact, proposing to fund the government.

Go right ahead and ignore what I'm actually saying, but I think your insult is more of a self-diagnosis.
 
Unlike democrats - republicans are NOT all in cohesion....

Enough of them are that they keep passing continuing resolutions in the House that meet with a party-line vote in the Senate.

Quit acting like it's "either or" when it's not..... The media does it's best to portray two options of political philosophy when there are many...

Congress does a pretty good job of telling that story too, and state parties do everything they can to prevent competition. Trust me, I wish it weren't the functional truth, I voted for Johnson.
 
How many times has the house introduced legislation to repeal the ACA? That was their starting point. When it came to passing a CR that became defund and then morphed to delay + repeal what Reid himself calls the "stupid" the tax and then to delay...

How many times did the House pass a CR leading up to this crisis that included a repeal of the ACA?
 
Your partisan BS is just that, but when BS are also lies it needs to be pointed out. The House in fact has passed a Continuing Resolution - in fact several.

You said Congress had passed something. I corrected you and said Congress had passed nothing. Please pay attention to what I actually said.

You lied when you said the House passed nothing.

No, you just can't read the words I actually said for some reason.

You can defend maggie all you want but when she suggests I should not have a right to vote because I don't see things here leftist way she becomes a fascist - that is how fascist roll.

She didn't say you shouldn't have a right to vote, she just groaned about the fact that you do have that right. Considering how low your reading comprehension skills are and how quick you are to accuse people of lying when you obviously don't understand what they're saying, I see her point.
 
I don't agree with you. The congressman was dead wrong. "You should be ashamed." Why should a lowly park ranger be ashamed for doing her job? The guy's a jerk. Someone even stepped up to defend the lady. Said something like, "Hey! She's just doing her job. Congress should be ashamed. They're the ones who've put us in this position." (He wasn't even partisan in what he said -- blaming "Congress." And that's where the blame DOES lie.

That congressman was a jerk. And partisanship has nothing to do with it.

What the hell are they shutting down the WW2 memorial its privately funded it doesn't depend on any congressional spending. So yea shame on the Parks people for shutting it down. Hell there nobody overseeing it normally. NOW they have to have security? No this IS on the park service most definitely.
 
Who gives orders to Parks people? Blame that person.

It isn't on the individual employee who got dressed down by the Congressman. Ergo straw man. Ergo thread.

Ask me if I care now. I made valid point. WW2 shouldn't have been shut down in the first place, because the only thing federal about it is the land on which it sits. A whole lot of people including me donated a whole lot of money to get it built and to keep it maintained.

Fantastic. Good for you. Blame the people responsible for its closure. That's the point of this thread.

A quick google shows that this is yet another right wing talking point making its rounds through the circle-jerk blogosphere. WWII memorial WAS funded in its construction primarily by private funds. Guess who maintains it? National Parks Service.

With money set aside for that purpose by same said fund. Something like 300 and something million dollars are in it right now.

I am blaming the right people, the park service.
 
You know the kid that shot Giffords. He liked to play with words too. People like you are frightening in how far you'll got to defend your regime. Your word games are pathetic. Ignored.

I bet you like breathing air.
You know who else liked breathing air? Hitler.

I can see how you'd view someone writing posts you obviously don't understand as playing games.

Also, I don't have a "regime." I voted for Johnson.
 
keep it maintained.
Exactly the point. There's nobody available to maintain it. You've already acknowledged that it requires maintenance. So are you feigning confusion in order to facilitate disruption of this thread?
