Angry furloughed federal workers protest shutdown at the White House, around the country

You stated your opinion.

So, it is about you, telling me your point of view.

I'm willing to wait for you to be proven right.

When I see both sides of Congress join together to open the government without the wall that neither side wants.

The bills were passed and the asshole did not sign.

That’s a prediction, not a poll. Yes, predictions were wrong, but the polls were spot on about which way the popular vote would go.

The pundits got it wrong. The Nov 2016 polls got it correct for the most part. When ever a Rightie disagrees with a current poll they drag out the myth how wrong the 2016 polls got it. I suppose they can put their fingers in ears and ignore the fact they are loosing bigly on the PR front over a manufactured crisis.
 
CharisRose said:
That may be a clear rejection from your point of view.

My point of view disagrees with your point of view.

Because your two points do not factually prove that you are correct that it was a clear rejection of Trump's agenda by all of the people.

All it is>>> is a limited section of some of the people that you have selected as proof, that you think agree with your point of view.

imho Roseann:)

Not all of the people. Most.

So Obama should have just dropped Obamacare after his midterm shellacking. Good to know. Hmm...oh wait...that didn't happen.

No, wait. Turn back this way. You're wandering off. We're talking about today, and Trump.
You had your say about Obama years ago and I'm sure it was a good say, too, but now is now and this is this.
Or do you want to talk about how Lyndon Johnson used to act, too?

How do you know it is most? Got any actual proof it is most?

Real proof. Not some poll.

Election results. Or do you dispute the vote counts from the elections?

Trump was elected by the States, not the people. More people voted for Clinton than Trump. And the people elected a Democratic House.
Trump and his promises were rejected by the people twice.

Someone should inform those people that unless they can elect their borderless security witch through the electoral congress they will not win and will not get to dictate policy to the American people that the American people do not want, no matter how many democrat-voting illegals are living in big sanctuary cites on the government dime.

Before we go on with this discussion I want to know your position concerning the Electoral College vote versus the popular vote?

Which do you put in a higher priority.

If, you put the popular vote in a higher position than the Electoral College vote.

Then yes, I would dispute your use of the popular vote as proof.

Just found this post.

Now, I have my answer. Your idea is bogus. And Yes, I dispute your un-American point of view.

Bye-Bye Roseann:)

Who is demanding Congrss fund his project? If it's so all-fired urgent why wait for the Democrats to do it? Why not do it himself when he could?
Maybe Trump and the Republicans can't, don't know how. They waited for a Democratic House and want the Democrats to do it for them.

Congress controls the money, but the President has to sign off on the budget, they both have something the other requires.
A compromise starts with a discussion, not a "NO"!
 
Birdzeye said:
Trump has issued an unequivocal “NO.” For him, it’s gimmee, gimmee, gimmee, my way or the highway. He’s a spoiled brat and a bully. Bullies must never be appeased, or they will only come back later to bully again.

The funding Trump is asking for is not the entire wall, but a very limited piece. A border wall does not stop all activity,
but forces flow into controlled access points.
As for the Bully, that would be Pelosi.

Youve just described trump and his GOP apologists, who are saying “NO” to anything other than unconditional capitulation from the Dems.

The moral high ground is to build the wall to protect Americans. He'll end the shutdown as soon as Dems get aligned with the right side.

Do you always post with pictures? Just because our President can't read words and needs pictures to paint a story doesn't mean everyone else is stupid. Use your words.
 
CharisRose said:
Simple answer, She should end the shutdown to help the Federal Employees get their paychecks because it is the moral (right) thing to do.

Showing them, their plight is more important to her morally than stopping Trump from getting funding for a pointy steel fence.

It isn't her shutdown. She didn't call for it. Trump did. He needs to stop it. Adult behavior 101.

I gather you don't watch the news.
 
They should be protesting at Nancy's and Chuck's homes.

The gentleman in the White House is waiting to strike a deal with them, but they have refused to compromise.



They consider themselves to be King Chuck and Queen Nancy.

What I'd like is a single standard. What I'd like is intellectual honesty. I'd like just one Trump hater to be honest and admit they hold him to a different standard and apply rules to him, but not to Presidents they supported and liked, like Obama. I'd like to not have to keep on pointing out how Obama did these very things, yet his (clay) feet were never held to the fire.
If I could find an apt comparison with Lyndon Johnson, I'd point that out, too.

Your sacred cow wasn't perfect and Trump isn't the devil incarnate which the MSM and "resistance" likes to make him out to be.

Feel free to skip my posts. Or are you one of those who expect everyone to please you? If so, sorry, I don't play that game.

Ahhh, paid day off #9 for me. Once again, I thank Nancy Pelosi and the Dems for this additional paid vacay. Sleeping late is great!

When all else fails, haul out the ugly demagoguery card. No reasoned arguments needed.

And slandering people with a different viewpoint by characterizing them as “traitors” is truly despicable.

What else would you call lawmakers who put foreign interests above national security? (Besides Democrats)

I've asked that same question, repeatedly. And nobody can answer me.

I would like one of the Trump devotees to say exactly what Trump has offered in return for his wall. Specifically what? The answer is potato.

LOL @ Russians. Whatta joke.

As a poor victim of this shutdown, I have nothing to prove. Just want to thank you Dems for giving me yet another paid day off. Think I'll make cookies today. Maybe Ill put nuts in 'em and call 'em Pelosi's. ;)
