Do you think Trump will shut the US government down or is it just bluster?

@MartinTheFirst it happens a lot

@abe182 no, it doesnt

@MartinTheFirst um yeah it does

@abe182 uhm no

@MartinTheFirst dude it's my country I know what I speak of

@abe182 you know shit

@MartinTheFirst OK numbers boy tell me the last time the US government was shut down

@abe182 stop being a lil bitch

@MartinTheFirst stop being a cunt

Obama shut it down for 16 days, Clinton for 21, I’m hoping Trump can beat both and hit 30@abe182

@MartinTheFirst, @abe182
Easy to sort out fellas... "... current interpretation of the Antideficiency Act requires that the federal government begin a "shutdown" of the affected activities involving the furlough of non-essential personnel and curtailment of agency activities and services.

[i]Since 1976, when the current budget and appropriations process was enacted, there have been twenty gaps in budget funding, [b]eight [/b]of which led to federal employees being furloughed.[/i]..."

Thank you @Salix75

I forgot Jimmy Carter’s 18 days. @AnneHoney

Thank you @AnneHoney

@abe182 why did you say thank you to that?

@abe182 oh she said something before that lololol

All he has to do is not sign the continuing resolution. It’s a tool Presidents threaten or do all the time. All of them.@abe182

@AnneHoney tbh in my initial comment i just interpreted "shut down" as something more severe and stuck to it even though i understood what abe meant becuase I know abe is quite a cunt 😌

@AnneHoney right. Or the house doesn't produce a CR

@MartinTheFirst nice back pedal 😌

Then they woukd be closing it. Funny how these know nothings have a different view of things Trump does than when previous Presidents including the 3 previous Dems all did it. Discussing politics with these know nothings is a waste of time. Have fun.@abe182
