@Elinoria Amazingly the two longest shutdowns in history are the GOP's fault.

How does your chart relate to the topic at hand, which is the fact that Trump continues to badly misplay his hand?

Elinoria · 100+, F

@daisymay It simply demonstrates that this (shutdowns) are no rare occurrence,contrary to what mainsteam media would have you believe and I am not freaked out about it at all.
In fact,my business and those of my colleagues are doing better than ever!
I can't b1tch about Trump.

daisymay · 51-55, T

@Elinoria Fuck those 800,000 families! YEAH!

Elinoria · 100+, F

@daisymayPerhaps you should put your money where your mouth is?

daisymay · 51-55, T

@Elinoria I'm not the one cheering for 800,000 people to become destitute. That's you. Perhaps you should try demonstrating some human qualities?

Elinoria · 100+, F

@daisymay Speak for yourself. You do not know what kind of of work I do and what I do for others.

daisymay · 51-55, T

@Elinoria Yet when I mentioned 800,000 federal workers adversely affected by the GOP/Trump, you attacked me. It tells me all I need to know about you.

Elinoria · 100+, F

@daisymay My concerns are with the local soup kitchen. You are presumptious. Do you like when people presume inaccurate things about you?

daisymay · 51-55, T

@Elinoria That doesn't change the fact that you don't give a shit about 800,000 federal employees because you and your friends are doing so well.

That isn't a presumption, honey, that's what you said.

Elinoria · 100+, F

@daisymay I am doing well but I pick who I am going to give my hard earned dollars to and none of that is done through coercion or because an ad hominem attack.
Put your money where your mouth is.Donate your check to these people!

daisymay · 51-55, T

@Elinoria Deflection noted. Nobody asked you to pay their salaries, since we all do that already. They aren't getting their paychecks because the GOP is the party of Trump and he's currently having a tantrum.

Elinoria · 100+, F

Projection noted.
You need to donate your check to these people.You speak passionately about it yet do nothing...

daisymay · 51-55, T

@Elinoria Do you know what projection is? Apparently not.

We already pay their salaries. Nobody asked you to donate your check.

Bye!

@Elinoria Just a quick tip. The SECOND you use the phrase "mainstream media" you're going to be immediately discounted by people with intelligence and political awareness. I doubt you care but just wanted to toss that out there.
