    About 800,000 workers missed paychecks Friday, many receiving blank pay statements. Some posted photos of their empty earnings statements on social media as a rallying cry to end the shutdown, a jarring image that many in the White House feared could turn more voters against the president as he holds out for billions in new wall funding.


    What do you think?

    I think now would be a nightmare if Russia and China realized this would be the perfect opportunity to over take banks through hacking .. virtual war on the USA.

    or even just launch nukes from their million man secret submarine fleet.

    BUILD WALL was one of his most popular campaign positions, he's not going to lose his base for trying to fulfill it.


    If anything I'd expect more people to be angry at the house democrats for refusing to even negotiate on the matter

    1. your initial comment made no sense in terms of:
    A) why privately-owned banks would be affected by a partial government shutdown
    B) why they'd be vulnerable, considering the agencies tasked with protecting them are funded annually by spending bills
    C) why Russia and China would even want to nuke you, or crash the global economy with no survivors

    2. I don't know why but I find it funny you edited my quote to capitalise tom clancy's name

    Tom Clancy must be shown respect. If not for his reporting on the exploits of Jack Ryan how else would we know about the 10 year old technological achievements of the US military and spy agencies? Tom Clancy is an American Hero.

    Actually Aldra,
    It seems the “feeling” is that most blame trump. If he hadn’t said to chuck and Nancy that he’d shut the government down, and mantle the blame, he might not be in this deep.

    Congress is doing what their constituents want. Well over 2/3rds of the American people do not want an archaic wall; I’d even go as far as to say 3/4ths don’t want it. Why should they give an inch? They are doing what the people want. Smart folks know a wall is a waste of money, and dumb people believe that the Democrats don’t want any border security. They want money for technology to help patrol the border. They need to cover our ports of entry if they wanna stop drugs from coming in.

    This made up “humanitarium emergency” is to try and appease his base, but, as usual, trump opened his big mouth and fucked himself in the ass.

    The economy was a bigger issue for the country, as well as for Trump supporters than immigration.

    https//www.people-press.org/2016/07/07/4-top-voting-issues-in-2016-election/4_2-4/

    Not to mention that even on immigration, few actually wanted the wall itself. Even republicans aren't retarded enough to believe it would be an effective strategy or useful project.

    If anything, I'd expect the country to be angrier that we are even negotiating over this fucking retarded farce. The economy will have taken a $4.2b hit by tomorrow and as far as the wall itself, you might as well dig a big hole and put $6b in it.

    It is an economically retarded investment that doesn't actually address any immigration issues, which are vastly overblown based on information contrary to any mainstream economist or social scientist.

    It is just indicative of the amount right wingers are afraid of brown people, that this is even an issue right now. After this shutdown, we'll come out the other end with a shitty fence, $6b poorer and with 800K federal workers behind in their finances, who had to struggle for weeks without pay or work.

    so you say dummy's want the wall,, well our country is 3/4 Dummy so ur numbers are backwards and 3/4 of our country is moronic and love the PREZZZ we will reelect him.. he is Basic he is only interested in US. I have no problem with feriners coming to this country in the proper way but its high time we start enforcing this measure,, NO MORE free entrance to this country without going through the proper channels.
    I used to think I was democrat but over the years I learned they didnt care about the white man they wanted to bring PC to the world and fill our country with feriners and gift them with whatever they need to be comfortable all the while we have millions of needy folks right here going without that Democrats don't give a flying fuck about unless they are Black of ferin cocksuckers.
    fuck here in Vermont these silly cocksuckers IMPORT black people to work here just so they can be diverse and equal opportunists even tho black folks would never move here unless they were RICH already

    Trump supporters want a wall, don’t know if they’re all dummies, but I’m sure many are.

    And if you think 75% of this country support trump, you’re outta the loop. Hell his own senators are starting to break from him. He’s fucked.

    Yup Soi, let that be you working your ass off for no pay! Oh that’s right, you don’t work, you’re just a sponge on society.

    A good friend of mine got a job with border patrol. He uprooted his family, a wife and three kids, just to get this job. They did not pay his moving expenses, so their funds are short now. He’s working for no pay. Yeah I’m sure his kids can miss meals. You’re an idiot. Think before you type ya loon!

    proper planning and savings would have helped these people in times like these,, hell every moron knows they do this 5 out of 10 years so it should be no surprise to them its happening again.

    Pole,
    Do you have a couple thousand set aside? Hell it could turn out to cost them 10s of thousands. I’d sink if I worked for the feds, thank goodness I didn’t take the job I was considering and interviewing for the VA.
