Enough is Enough! The shutdown needs to end NOW!!

It almost doesn't matter who's at fault anymore. People are on the verge of missing their second check. People are having to sell belongings, cars, homes, etc. They can't even afford the basic necessities such as food and Lord knows what else.

Objectively... What exactly is all of it about anyway?

@Quizzical At this point I don't even know. It just seems like Trump won't agree to anything if it doesn't include the wall though.

@sweetiepoo So he's essentially holding people to ransom to get his own way?
@Quizzical This will breed resentment against him but he'll deflect it and blame someone else.
@canusernamebemyusername He's probably trying to find a way to blame someone as we speak...

@HootyTheNightOwl He already blamed the Democrats.
@sweetiepoo He can't fire the entire party, though... that seems to be his preferred method of tantrum throwing!!!

@HootyTheNightOwl Yeah he is really showing who he is. We've all known him to be horrible at running business, always wanting his way and issues paying his employess. This is truly showing now. He is attempting to run America like one of his businesses. We've even known him to be quick to fire someone…. And how many people has he fired since he's been in office compared to past presidents?

@sweetiepoo So... America will be bankrupt soon then? lol

@sweetiepoo Trump offered a deal on DACA, it's the democrats that won't comprise, or even meet with Trump. So much about the democrats caring for the dreamers.
@Quizzical He did threaten to default if he doesn't get his way or to become dictator (emergency powers)

@canusernamebemyusername Well, I think that was only a matter of time...
@Quizzical Quizz, the irony is, during the last administration, when there was a shutdown because of the stalemate on healthcare, Trump said that only a “weak” leader allowed the government to shut down. But as president he was actually threatening to shut the government down ! And he said he’d take responsibility for doing so (which was a lie, of course). So yes, holding the government and federal workers for ransom is exactly what he’s doing. And the carrot of DACA is a smokescreen. The Dems know they can’t trust him to keep his word about anything. 😒

@bijouxbroussard I am starting to think he has genuine memory problems...

@GunSmoke9 the "deal" he offered was a temporary hold in exchange for permanent wall funding. So imagine this: trump steals your car and then steals your wallet. He then offers to loan you money from your wallet to lease your car back to you at inflated prices. And you are criticized for not taking the deal?
GunSmoke9 · 56-60, M
@nakedguy The democrats don't want a permanent wall, and the extremists don't want any walls or borders. Yes it's temporary with the DACA kids, but that is just a start. Democrats just refuse to compromise.
@GunSmoke9 There was a compromise in the beginning. Trump demanded more money, and threatened to veto anything less. And he threatened to shut the government down if he didn’t get his way. So he’s the one holding things up. And, remember—he had complete Republican control of the House and Senate for almost two years. So this is all on Trump.

@bijouxbroussard This WILL lead to impeachment. Can't continue. Stop the tantrum or LEAVE! And that includes that sexist bigoted fundamentalist woman hating freak we have for VP
@Platoscave Isn’t that the perfect analogy for it ? 👍🏽

@GunSmoke9 Its a trick. The Dems won't fall for it. WE NEED DACA. WE NEED TO DITCH THE WALL.

No more divide and conquer....while Nero plays Rome burns.
and the whole planet too.
