  1. Was he trying to rewrite "We Didn't Start the Fire"?
  2. I'm a federal employee (forced to work without pay) and live in an area dominated by agriculture. These past couple of weeks have been eyeopening for me. People who I thought were good friends have shown me their true selves with this shutdown. Granted, I know I live right in the middle of Trump country, but never would I have imagined people I've known for two decades, whom I've shared meals with in their home and in mine, whom my wife and I have donated money, groceries and supplies to when they've hit hard times, or were isolated from their homes due to the Milk River flooding them out.....they have completely flipped and actually happy about this situation. And I dont wish this on anyone, but situations like the people in the article above are what its going to take to break this insanity. Farmers and ranchers are going to have to miss their ag welfare (farm subsidies, CRP payments, etc) before they turn on this hack.
  3. I miss Mexican food already. Our local restaurant just closed this week because the owner was deported.
  4. And instead of stocking the river with gators, we can train chupacabras to attack if anyone makes it to the north bank of the river.
  5. Why do they turn left? Are they always traveling east at the onset of their trip? And what is it about the color blue that makes this particular tape so powerful?
  6. 1. I know that. I thought that was inferred when I called them mooks. 2. Its a trivial amount of wall he want to build. He doesn't give a shit if its warranted or even effective. He just wants to be able to point to something for the mooks addressed above in #1. 3.Get made whole again? Not everyone in my agency is independently wealthy. They can't make ends meet if the government is shut down into March. Hell, I have a guy in my office that isn't going to be able to make it missing this paycheck that would normally be hitting out accounts this weekend.
  7. Not to the mooks up here on Montana. They think he's left of Pelosi. I've met the man and he's just a regular ol' dude, but Farmer Brown from Montana thinks Tester is coming for their crop subsidies to give to the illegals.
  8. I cant get over the fact that some of those 800K still support this fucker. On our union Facebook page, there are still members who openly support him. Of course, they're blaming the shutdown solely on Pelosi and/or Schumer.
  9. As a federal employee of 27+ yrs, that isn't always feasible nor practical. I'm almost 50 and have been in the same career field (weather) since I was barely 22. If someone like me were to resign, what am I going to do that pays even nearly what I make (when I actually get paid) now? I cant start over now when I'm eligible for retirement in 7 years. What I WOULD like to do is actually shut every fucking thing down. If we did, this shit wouldn't last more than a couple of days. Instead, agencies like the NWS, FAA, TSA, etc continue on as if nothing is happening so the common person never even notices. And then you get a fucking idiot in control who hasn't an iota of a clue of how to govern, or even what the government does, and a shutdown can continue for who knows how long.
  10. I couldn't agree with his last sentence more!
  11. Nagy doesn't know shit about clock management. Should have called a TO after Philly got a 1st down.
  12. I seem to recall in one of my junior high history classes touching on the "opposition party". And if my recollection serves me, it was a name given to the party that opposed slavery.
  13. The first video cuts out right before the weirdest part of Skinhead #3's propaganda. Did anyone hear him ask whether we'd rather have them knock on our doors or come through our window?
  14. Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind Edit - shit, @WhatTheBuck beat me to it.
  15. That's not necessarily true, at least not for my agency. I've had vacation scheduled from Dec 22 through Jan 7th since way back in the summer. I'm essential but I wasn't about to let this shit head ruin my vacation and all I would have done is just sat at my desk surfing the web anyway since I couldn't really do my job since my shifts are already covered. I asked if not reporting to work on the 26th meant I'd have to sit out until the shutdown ended and was told it was just a matter of a little paperwork to move me into furlough status for the days of my scheduled vacation, then put me back into essential status afterward. Of course, this means I run the risk of not getting paid for the duration I'm not at work, and with this fucker it would not surprise me one bit if that happens.
  16. Apparently a 12-0 Notre Dame team shouldn't either.
  17. Isn't this from the old internet? Is it making it to the new and improved internet now?
  18. She's in DC, right? Maybe she's a Wizard fan.
  19. I know we're living in a crazy fucked up world and nothing really matters anymore, but this fucker dont care what anyone think.! He just split his fives and then doubled down on both hands.
  20. Was he orange and did he glow in the dark?
  21. And for a maximum age limit of 70 in the legislative, executive and/or judicial branches.
