The shut down thread

[AirVol]

Hogg my dunce, my life is great. Unlike you and typical two year olds, my awareness and concerns go beyond my immediate circle of existence. Hundreds of millions worldwide will suffer from the Trump effect long before I do. Some of Trumps doings even appear to benefit me and mine in a short term, selfish sort of way. If that's all one sees, I can ALMOST grasp how one could hold their nose and support Trump.

Worldwide? Why do you people care so much about the rest of the world so much? We have issues here to work on and you care if it hurts someone’s feelings that’s not American.

Hysterics like the bold is why you can't be taken seriously.

It would be hysterical if it wasn't true.

Because they are the world wide apology types

I care about people who do not live in my neighborhood. I care about people who do not live in my city. I care about people who do not live in my county, region, state, country, continent, hemisphere.
How far does a person need to be removed from you in order for you to stop caring?

CNN\MSNBC\Institutional indoctrination.

Wait even in a shutdown the government wastes money on printing blank pay sheets. Unreal!

It's a political tool so the media can show copies of $0.00 pay sheets

Not about caring but who you care more about. Us or them?

Yes, because we all know that the employees can trade those "media political tools" in for food and rent.

 

[DancingOutlaw]

The easy one is murder. Different perspective on the morality of it in the ME.
Forcing federal employees to work for free is morally wrong in our society.

The employees can’t quit? Link?

 

[LouderVol]

So I assume you understood my answer to be no.

just wanted to establish that you don't follow your own stated beliefs.

Maybe you should join a mission of give your life to solving the worlds problems instead of being a crossing guard. You sound like a great giving man, join today and save the world.

It's not true.

There's probably an elaborate system that automatically generates the paychecks which would cost more to turn off than the cost of the pay stubs. But yes, let's fret about the cost of this paper.

Isn't it amusing how the Trump sycophants have bought into his narrow-minded, isolationist view of the world? They continue to follow a morally and intellectually bankrupt President like sheep to the slaughter.

 

[C-south]

Luckily, we'll never find out. But in that infinitesimal chance that multiple catastrophes happen simultaneously and Trump actually runs for and wins re-election, I would once again be forced to adjust my views and perceptions of my fellow Americans.

Join the club.

Yes, but do you like green eggs and ham?

I guess Dims know that walls work.

I guess Dims know that walls work. View attachment 188516

Yep. There's no political points to be earned on a wall along the Jordanian border with Iraq though, by either Dems or Repubs, so nobody cares.

Why is an entity with hundreds of thousands of employees printing pay stubs in the first place? That’s an incredible waste of paper and resources.

Are they? For all I know they may be emailing them and someone printed one out.

 

[tumscalcium]

Hundreds of millions have suffered worldwide from socialistic views you share. Where’s your concern for them? Hell, you want that suffering for us here. Lol

 

[Hunerwadel]

I've seen a good bit of the world. I like it and and most of its peoples that I've met. I want my children and grandchildren to see a lot more of it and be a part of it. If everyone starts building walls that might not happen.

 

[luthervol]

just wanted to establish that you don't follow your own stated beliefs.

You're wrong on that one. But fine attempt. There have always been portions of collective morality with which I disagree. That doesn't change the fact that it is the collective (societal) morality with which I live.

 

[lawgator1]

They can quit but are better off doing garage sales, starting a dog walking business, or babysitting to make a few bucks while they support not getting paid for the wall, which NO House of Rep member along the entire border says is a good idea.

If it isn't obvious now that this is all about Trump just saving face and unwilling to admit he goofed, then God help you.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

800k people that don't GAF about the wall.

Is it better to have a job just waiting on the shutdown to be over or to be killed because of an illegal alien?
