The shut down thread

[McDad]

why

There are some that are very fearful of more control by individual States. Even more are afraid of greater power held by the individual.

I'd be real careful about making such claims if I were you.

I don't have to be careful about a thing. "Cadet Bone Spurs" is her description of him - not mine.. and she has earned the right to pass that kind of judgment.

I can’t ever tell with you Libs, but what gives her that validation?

A). She’s a veteran
B). She’s a disabled veteran
C). She’s of Asian descent
D). None of the above

Which gives you the right to make an extremely subjective statement she cares more about the military than he does?

I'm going with Trump on this one. As he said in 2013, it's all on the president and his failure to lead. (Never say I don't occasionally agree with Trump)

So, if they pass funding within 15 days, you're agreeing that Trump is a better leader than Obama?

We all know that will never happen.

I'll book mark, Punchline. :hi:

That one time when Luther's logic made Trump a better leader than Obama...?

You left one off:

IT'S THE TRUTH.

That would be like saying you care more about guns than I do.

How the state of FL allows you to practice law is beyond me... but hey, that’s how hacks make a living, by lying, cheating and contriving.

He actually does.

He’s against the government policing and enfringing on our constitutional right to bear arms, you’re not.

Okay, other than her service (which she should be applauded for) what other statements and/or actions has she made/done that give credence to the statement "she cares more about the military than he does."?

 

[luthervol]

Book mark for what? You don't honestly believe I would ever claim dotart donnie to be a better leader than Obama do you? Even you should know better.

He actually does.

You're not proving the point you think. Thanks. You guys.

My first quote was intended to be an add on to OC's post.

Your claims and logic are often strongly decoupled, luther.

Her service and sacrifice means more than any statement or political action could ever mean. That's enough by itself.

 

[Septic]

Do you even know what you’re arguing? You explicitly implied “how” was the context, not that four Americans are dead.

RE: bolded text in my original comment

You implied she didn't care by offering one sentence, out of context. It's a familiar and often accepted and repeated misconception by the weak minded, I was simply trying to save you further embarrassment.

I'd like to believe that had you been versed on the subject in something other than internet memes, read (and comprehended) her entire statement - you'd have not looked so ignorant.

You're welcome.

Just for my own peace of mind.

 

[Orange_Crush]

So, what good did the shut down do?

Did it hurt the Repubs or Dems worse? It sounds like the bigger black eye was to the Dems, who gave appearances that they were willing to hurt citizens in support of non-citizens.

If it hurt anyone, what was gained to make it worth it?

Yeah, no, not the way it works.

 

[GAVol]

Meanwhile, CNN is showing the WH briefing on the deal that was reached.... with a running clock showing how long the government has been shutdown.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Just for my own peace of mind.

Trump: "The President is responsible for shutdowns."

Luther: "I agree with Trump."

Trump: "I got funding passed in 1/16th the time Obama did, so I'm a much better leader."

Luther: "Hold on there, liar!"

My friend took his family to St Louis for the weekend. They went to the arch. It was shut down because it's managed by the government. Thankfully, his relationship with his family survived. And they will use this life-altering experience for the betterment of their future.

LOL! According to who? Service and Sacrifice > Political Rhetoric

The most trusted name in news.

I'm in awe of the political courage that it must have taken to shutdown the government on a Friday night and then reopen it at lunchtime Monday.

Pure Courage of Their Convictions type stuff.

Harrumph. I propose a memorial cast in bronze adjacent to the Iwo Jima memorial which shall extol the virtues of our ruling elitists.
