1. Small Price?

Didn't the last one suck about $24 Billion out of the economy?

Yeah, Donny Two Scoops, YOU can foot that bill.

[unblock]

4. $24 billion? rich people sucked out over $2 trillion and they're already back for more.

5. Stunning, isn't it?

Ol' Stevie Mnuchin might realize that the Blue Wave will limit some of these future give-aways and he's trying to grab just a few more bucks before the Dems take over in January.

Ass holes.

[Renew Deal]

2. There is no way they will allow it with a shutdown

Shut it down.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

3. Oh, please shut down the government. Oh, please oh please oh please oh please!

Trump is the gift that keeps on giving for the Dems.

16. Horrible as a shutdown would be, this is war, and if Pres Turd wants to fire a salvo

into his own troops, well, war is Hell.

6. Good. "Shut the front door." n/t

7. Then who will be guarding the borders during a Shut-Down?

8. "Government Shutdown" and "Prosperous America" can never be in the same sentence. nt

[The Genealogist]

9. His cult of true believers won't care

Anything bad that happens to them is because of Democrats. Even in the clearest of evidence is fake to them. And if a brown person suffers, they'll consider their own plight to be worth it. He certainly won't make any friends among sane Americans who will suffer due to the government being shut down.

10. If I was a Democrat

I would tell him to shove it. the Rethugs control everything. if he can't get the votes that's his fault. it's not the Democrats fault.

19. Who else "Doesn't Care About 'Political Ramifications'"...

Vladimir Putin, that's who.

[area51]

20. "Border Security is National Security"

No, health care is National Security. We're extremely vulnerable due to not having health care as a basic human right, and our system is a patchwork of access and rules.

[olddad56]

21. he cares about the ramifications. he wants the ramifications to be chaos. Or his handler Putin does.

[Snellius]
