Losers are the American people especially government workers, the GOP and the President. It's amazing the master negotiator ended up getting nothing but plummeting poll numbers.

Trump either has to go with a bi-partisan plan or declare an emergency which he'll likely lose in court. Any way you slice it this isn't what winning looks like.

Yep, just like last time "furloughed" for 18 days... can't go to work... but wait... once they approved the damn budget.. we got paid for those furlough days, just as if we were working... ended up actually being nearly 3 paid weeks off.

So ya you're right Trump is Satan and Hitler rolled into one....

was that the shutdown during obama’s presidency? federal workers missed a paycheck? there sure wasn’t anywhere near this

Perhaps if you were a janitor or TSA employee you’d think differently. I remember living paycheck to paycheck at one time.

but where was the media uproar last time? i agree shutdowns hurt innocent people, i’m just not sure that people
furloughed by trump are more victimized than people
furloughed under obama, but the media coverage, like in every other issue, reflects an agenda.

There was one but the climate is different now. Trump is going to hype everything and the entire system is going to respond in kind.

“the climate is different now”.

oh, i agree. in this climate an adult can get in the face of a child, and claim to be the victim, and the child gets death threats for standing still in the face of the jerk adult, and you can’t say that anything wrong has happened.

the climate has been different since bush. bush was hitler. McCain was a senile old racist. Romney objectifies women by keeping their resumes in a binder.

I did say many things wrong happened. The chapparones were AWOL and the kids escalated the situation. Black Isrealites helped by insulting everyone.

Thank god for those jerks with the drums, they may have prevented a riot.

Climate has been different since Clinton. Blame Newt, Tom Delay etc...

How many GOP House Speakers or Majority Leaders have had legal
Issues since then?
