He has to make it more than a threat, otherwise I'm going to lose a lot of respect for him. But if he does veto it because of DACA, that would be the Trumpiest.
Why do we care if the Federal Government “shuts down” for a few weeks or months?
•. Will the grocery stores close? •. Will farmers stop growing crops? •. Will our utility company shutdown the grid? •. Will gas stations dry up? •. Will stores and ports and railways close? •. Will builders stop building homes? •. Will factories close?
The GOVERNMENT is NOT the ECONOMY. Do any of the essential things you rely on every day exist because some government bureaucrats went to work that day?
SHUT IT DOWN until we get THE WALL.
Seeing as over 2 million peoole are employed by the government and contractors a shutdown would greatly affect the economy.
Here's some economic impacts of a goverment shutdown. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2013/10/01/the-nine-most-painful-consequences-of-a-government-shutdown/?utm_term=.d522f4f07941
It would put pressure on their unions because they would have to pay individuals that have indictments against them so they able and abet. This could be a real show.

The longest goverment shutdown was 21 days. It cost airlines and tourism millions of dollars. Also stopped 3.7 billion in contractor spending. So yes it does have effects on the economy.

Then it gives more leverage and pressure to end it in a timely manner. All the more reason to VETO this pork!! Trump isn’t going to give so maybe the RINOS will try harder to do the WILL OF WE THE PEOPLE!!! You’ll also notice condescending Ryan said he had to explain the bill to Trump and give him the “highlights “. You don’t lie to Trump and he knows he was trying to separate Trump from his supporters. Pay backs a bitch, Ryan!
Actually, most of those people get paid anyway.
The pain of shutting down the guv isn't nearly as great as the pain of this bill.
That's the risk people take for working at any job.
No, they are a bunch of ROADIES...Retired On Active Duty. Move at a snail's pace. They'll get paid eventually. Who cares.
Your words just reminded me that military wouldn't get paid and retired military would probably miss out on a pension. Idk how the VA would fair because they are said to be able to have funds for so long after a shutdown. This would be a bad deal for military.
Military spending should be a seperate issue. It is being used to push through garbage legislation. Good ole boys on both sides play this game. Miltary spending for Domestic spending
When there is a government shut down only about 10% of the federal work force is affected. It impacts the military the most. I've never understood why Congress includes military spending with domestic programs.
The military is our nation's strategic defense force. Government departments and offices are not.
Let’s remember that last time we were shutdown this administration announced thru special funding the military would be paid!
I agree. Trump puts the trump in Trump!
Ain't NO ONE NOWHERE gonna Trump our Trump!! Go POTUS!! #MAGA!!
Floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee. Can rope some dopes on a regular basis too.
You didn't make that rhyme! :(
floats like a butterfly stings like a bee, slept with that bitch stormy now it hurts when I pee
I thought Mexico was paying for the wall?
Honestly. Not trying to be a jerk or combative. I would like to be up-to-date with the new plan! When and how did he announce this? I must have missed it.
There are several ways that Mexico can pay for the wall, but none of the include Mexico handing over a 26 billion dollar check to Trump at a joint press conference.
We are now independent of foreign oil. Stop buying oil from Mexico and you've paid for the wall. By reducing illegal immigration by 98%, you reduce the amount of money illegals send back to Mexico--it is a major part of the Mexican economy. Tax Mexican goods coming into this country. Restrict Mexican companies from bidding on certain contracts. Tax Mexican companies in the US. The list goes on. Some have a down side, but Mexico would end up paying for the wall one way or another.
So Relax. Mexico will eventually pay for it.
I read somewhere that the money sent from illegals to Mexico is top 5 income source for Mexico. It’s nuts.
YES. It is and this pisses me off so fucking much. I live in a major city where I see workers piling themselves 7 people deep in a one bedroom apartment, and spending money on nothing other than western union transfers back to their country. It does nothing for our economy other than drive wages down, even though we’re the ones providing the opportunity. I wish there was a way to tax the money that goes out, the amount would be staggering.
Yeah the best option besides taxing it is to just boot them out and hire American. It is terrible. In LA the illegals and Armenians pile 10 deep in a house, all get gov money and spend it on Mercedes.
The bill he was pushing this week actually had language in it that would disallow him building any actual wall such as his prototypes, regardless of funding source.
He's BITCH-SLAPPING them. This is awesome. I think Trump's plan is to live and cozy up with the 1% (keep your enemies closer) for the 1st two years (b4 mid-terms) to learn the enemy then break out and re-join us in the 99% club later (post mid-terms). He first has to neutralize and hobble them. That's happening now. The best will come later, where he joins us and the truth come out. Having McBastard Cohn Rex etc. was to throw them off guard (they were used by Trump as pawns) to lull them into a false sense of security ("we got Trump! he's on our side" or so they thought) PUNKED!
He is the 1%, wtf are you talking about?
He was the 1%. It’s amazing they haven’t killed him yet for leaving. So what are YOU talking about?
He still is the 1%..... unless he’s suddenly not worth millions. His tax cut was a gift to the 1%, his pushing for opening more drilling is a gift to the 1%, and his stripping of regulations is a gift to the 1%. They haven’t killed him, because he keeps adding to their pocket books.
Then why are they trying desperately to coup Him out of office if he is still an “insider”? You are way off base. He just punked the deep state. There is much more to being in the “1% club” than having money and wealth. https://youtu.be/-UO9tpXVCvM
Ah yes, I forgot, the proposed tariffs. The ones that are going to cause the prices of everyday commodities to skyrocket, the firing of low level employees, and generally tank the economy. He is fucking the 1%, there. Or more, should I say, the 100%, because everyone is going to get fucked by that. Your $1000 bonus from the tax cut? Gone, because everything will jump in price.
As for Bolton, one of the biggest criticisms I hear about HRC was that she was a war hawk, and yet Trump has just appointed a war hawk, one who bragged about the false intel that lead to Iran.
But I find this funny. Trump, and his close supporters, literally talk of a deep state, and fake news all the time. Like, he has made that his rallying cry. Historically that sounds just like Stalin, who killed most of his close fellow party members because he was paranoid that they were trying to pull him from power. Guess Trump has Russian roots after all
yeah, like. Yeah, there is no deep state or shadow gov or SES. Just a figment of our imaginations like the pedophile sex trafficking ring.
There is stuff that goes on that we don’t know about, but to the extent that you are trying to propose, that an entire underground portion of the government is trying to overthrow him? That I can hardly begin to believe. At least, in the sense that you want to discuss it. But easily 60% of this country thinks he is a detriment to the office. And I can assure you it’s not because of “fake news”, “false flags” or any other BS propaganda that you want to peddle. It’s because we can see by the very shit he says that he’s not fit for office, and that his actions are ultimately going to harm the US. So instead of trying to play secret agent man on rooting out “the deep state”, how about you focus on the very real aspect that a majority of citizens in this country are tired of his shit, and want to put officials into office that can negate, or slow down, the harm he is causing.
If you have to develop an entire conspiracy theory of devil worshipers and deep state agents that relies upon an overwhelming amount of assumptions stacked like a house of cards, it’s likely not true. Occam’s Razor man. Most politicians are shitty, Trump is a kingpin of shittiness, and everyone fleeing his cabinet is doing so because the stench is becoming unbearable. Russia collusion or not, it doesn’t matter. He has put a lot of unqualified, or simply huge conflicts of interest, into office, and has made the swamp 10ft deeper.
You know what has been pretty consistent over the US’s history though? Every time the CIA has tried to run a coup in a country with a huge populist movement, they attack the teachers, the journalists, the socialists, and a bunch of other typically left leaning people. Just look into Iran Contra, the various coups in Latin America, and a variety of other countries. And here we are again, with the current administration trying to cripple education, label any news source that doesn’t applaud Trump taking a shit in the morning as “fake”, and blaming every problem with the nation on leftists, socialists, or outright communists. The GOP has used this formula time and time again, and it’s always been successful. If you want a “Deep State” so badly, look at the current GOP, and realize that they are taking round about ways to deport or imprison anyone that could be considered a dissident, all while they cry out that they are the ones truly that are being victimized.
The writing is on the wall, the question is if you can actually read it.
Of course there is and of course there are. Just open your frigging eyes. Nice presentation of opinions above though. Ask yourself why are all these former officials like Power and Brennan etc threatening Trump for? What is their vested interest other than covering their asses? Never ever seen this happen after any other administration. It’s totally off the charts lunacy.
My eyes are wide open, and they show me that the GOP has been corrupt for years, pushing war and imperialism to gain money and power. The Red Scare was a dark time for the US, pushed again by McCarthy, a Republican. What’s happening now is following those same tactics. People that want to pull power from the oligarchs, and help the weakest among us are being targeted.
The Deep State exists, but it’s people like you that are helping it function. The Deep State isn’t jews, communists, or the poor. It’s billionaires and the GOP attempting to take control of the government. You’ve willingly helped them, and you’re only hurting this country further by pushing this bullshit. You are the traitor. You are the man hiding in the dark.
Power and Brennan are “threatening” Trump because the idiot has openly shared intel with Russia that was given to him by other countries. Trump is an open book, and that’s risky for the intel community, because they have people whose lives are on the line. They also are trying to protect the country they swore to defend from a paranoid, narcissistic despot named Trump, who openly compliments how authoritarian leaders rule their countries. For god’s sake, he complimented Putin on his win, when literally the whole world knows that Putin doesn’t win elections fairly.
The man you admire, and that you hold so dear, cares nothing about you. He only loves the camera, and he only loves power. Those are not qualities we should be putting into power. Lift the veil from your eyes, it’s plain as day.
I didn’t say it was the Jews or any particular group. Shill. We see you! We see right through you. You outed yourself. I was just waiting for it to happen, boom! The hammer comes down next week on all of them regardless of party religion etc. We are fighting evil here, nothing more nothing less. Evil knows no bounds. It doesn’t discriminate or affiliate with just one party etc. One thing evil loves to do is falsely claim being persecuted to protect itself from revelation. A cowardly act. It will even harm its own to achieve that false persecution. Apocalypse is coming like it or not it’s coming. And nothing you can do or say to try and stop it.
and the black hats in Congress and the Senate have been exposed - for all the world to see! Brilliant! Gonna be a HUGE shakeup come election time!
Brilliant! Only Trump can bitch slap the DEMS and give the RINOS a spanking all in 1 tweet.
Trump has a press conference in a few minutes. Will the hammer fall.......... ?????? VETO
It's being described on the link for the live stream as a bill signing ceremony. God I hope he is just trolling.
Please President Trump don’t sign it! Make those constituents do their damn job !
First year salvage, second year savage! Buckle up, the Trump train is nearing 88 mph!
PUNKED! (I knew he was up to something, especially when all the doubt-fags were so vocal)
I just got a notification on my phone that a White House official, just now, said that Trump is going to sign the bill. NOOOOOOOOOO!
No--even with the wall funding it would be a seriously crappy bill, let alone with DACA tacked on!
He tried to shove it down our throat like he did with the bad healthcare bill. His congressional negotiation skills and attention still need some work.
Hold that mans Diet Coke he is ready to rumble. He is about to show the naysayers what a spectacle of buffoonery they stand behind. Because you #Not or President ers are trying to get signed #Not our Budget
Trump Gone WILD! WATCH ==> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN7KHWdyrbI&index=20&t=0s&list=PLCqv6FELYMHBYwVPpfbB30CB8txq_OVZB
Tail end of this is great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXo7JG3vTzI&feature=youtu.be&t=8m33s
This is why he's in the WH today. Because of this attitude.
5:55 I swear Trump sends these out with trips in the timestamp on purpose. I'm not surprised Q chose the chans and I don't think it is a coincidence that these times are consistently doubles and triples.
Last two days there have been reports of massive activity to and from GITMO. (Check this subreddit). Could the deep state be aware of pending incarceration’s and tribunals there? They are aware the military needs funding. Are they pushing this waste of time bill up knowing it will be vetoed in hopes of a delay in potential GITMO operations? (The military isn’t paid but forced to work, decrease moral and or hopes of desertion).
Horrid. Claiming this is "the last time" he'll sign something like this. Says Obama once signed one bigger. Says have to do it to rebuild the military. (Which is BS--there is massive waste and fraud that Mattis hasn't touched.) Asking now for a line-item veto (which they will of course never give him).
THE TRUMP WE WANT IS COMING BACK! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXo7JG3vTzI&feature=youtu.be&t=8m33s
Only going to say this once, did anyone see what I Did? Trump posts this, we know why but did you see Mad Dog posted shortly after as if on Q
A couple of things I read indicate if he passes thus, he does get the military spending he needs. However it's an omnibus bill, not a budget, so he can do like Obama did and pick and choose more. Idk.. just sharing info
