This is such a narrow-minded perspective. You're not impacted by it, so you project outward that nobody else must be either. I haven't been impacted by it, but I do have a good friend named Tom Elchenko (Google him, he's on linkedin) who works as an auditor and Senior Team Leader for the United States Office of Personnel Management. This is the agency that provides federal human resources policy, oversight and support, and tends to healthcare, insurance and retirement benefits for federal government employees. His wife had their first baby on November 16th and he will now be going without a paycheck for the foreseeable future.
It is absolutely ridiculous that a country that issued $1.3 trillion of new debt in 2018 is shutting portions of it's government down over $5.6 billion. Both sides are being petty and there is plenty of blame to go around... but I remember who it was on December 11th that said he owns this shutdown and that he would be "proud to shutdown the government". That was a very dumb thing to say and it was not good leadership. There are people experiencing real world consequences over this.
One of my best friends from college was from Sneedville TN in Hancock Co. He talked like that kind of stuff wasn't that uncommon. He went through his yearbook and pointed out a few people and told some stories. I had no idea that kind of stuff actually went on.They raise farm animals, something you need to stay away from.
This is really what it all boils down to.

I see the Dims care more about votes than illegal immigrants crossing our borders, drugs, child trafficking, MS 13, and whatever else. It’s disgusting the Dims are preventing a wall that they were for just a few years ago but they will vote billions in foreign aid to other sh!tholes of the world. These people are sick.
So you mean Trump is kinda following what his voters want and elected him for and cares what their opinions are which are heavily reflected by many on Fox????
If Fox News Channel in NYC is the voice of those people, I guess so.
Kind of weird, though--if the situation is so dire and dangerous, why did he wait two years to do the inevitable?
He wanted to do something day one but house republicans and senate suck and are a bunch of rhinos. He now knows this is his last shot and no help is coming from his own party
This is why so many of us conservatives hate the Republican Party anymore.
They are gutless and a bunch of Flakes....pun intended.
I personally loathe the Republicans at this point.
