Some Republicans are talking about letting the government shut down if Biden doesn't uphold his sworn duty to protect the border. Do you agree?

[milyjohn]

I'm 100% for the shut down. This will be on Biden. What kind of an evil president says he won't protect American citizens, unless we agree to shovel more billions to Ukraine?

Screw Ukraine. Biden needs to serve the country he was elected to serve. If there's money left over after that, then we can talk about Ukraine.

But, leftists, no need to fear. The Republicans will cave on this like they always do. We will give more billions to Ukraine. The border will remain open. The Chinese Fentanyl will keep coming in. The child sex traffickers will flourish. The drug cartels will continue to buy off our politicians. There will be no money for homeless Americans, because the money will be stretched too thin, because of the millions of illegal homeless coming in. Greg and Ron will keep shipping the illegals to blue states, and the blue states will ship them to other blue states, and Alejandro and Karine will tell you it's not happening.

Defund the government!

Or as Glenn Beck says: "Unplug the government... wait five minutes... then plug it back in."

(This always fixes my router)

[BCA6010]

Sure. Why not. Get them some things to b*tch about and point fingers in their next campaign; it's not going to fix anything. We are so deep in the hole at this point that any less than a significant majority of elected feds willing to commit to a career-ending series of cost cutting and reforms (mostly stripping themselves of power) isn't going to even put a dent in it... And right now we have, at most, 5% who are willing to do that.

[milyjohn]

Term limits are our only hope of saving America, and that won't happen.

[Pterodon]

Fuck yes I agree. Can’t believe it’s taken this long

[milyjohn]

Shut the government down! 100%
Then let Joey explain it. He won't be able to.

[IrishStewed]

Congress doesn't care as they get paid no matter what, as does Biden. Besides that, most of them are multimillionaires so they won't be hurting in a shut down. How did they get those millions is my question. It sure wasn't on a Congressional salary.

[milyjohn]

You're right, the politicians won't be hurt by the shutdown, but then they have to explain it to the 2.8 million federal workers. They have to explain it to the janitor of the white house that he/she won't get paid, because the pesky Republicans won't approve more unaccounted for billions to Ukraine.

And the reason politicians are rich, is because they refuse to put the question of term limits up to a referendum vote.

In my state, the booze was sold by the government. They put it to a referendum vote, and 90% of the citizens told the government to get the fuck out of the booze business.

[FunkyMonkee]

You got THAT right!!

[IrishStewed]

Good points.

[katiesmuff]

Start bussing those illigals to Biden's front yard and then in Washington at the White House and Congress.

[milyjohn]

Wow! I like your style. It's called mental Judo. Use your opponents strength, against THEM.
"Joey, you want illegals? I'll give you illegals!"

[exitseven]

Yes, I would not trust him. He will take the money and instead of finishing the wall and have more border patrol against arrest and deport the illegal aliens he will hire more people to give out freebies an to process the illegals and send them to republican cities so he gets more people to vote for him.

[milyjohn]

I hope the Republicans stand their ground, but I seriously don't think they will.

[exitseven]

I think the threat of kicking Mike Jonson out of the speaker's chair may be the game changer.

[milyjohn]

Is someone threatening that?

[exitseven]

No but after McCarthy was ousted it looks like a real thing now and it will happen again.

[milyjohn]

Maybe, but the election is just around the corner, and if they dump another speaker, the left wing media will milk the shit out of it. I like Mike, because at least he talks about impeachment. McCarthy was a huge disappointment.

[exitseven]

I think Mike Johnson is a much better speaker but the problem with the house is too many RINOs still.

[milyjohn]

I got a notification about that, but they call the RINOs, "moderates."

What in the fuck is a moderate? You either want a secure border or you don't.

[exitseven]

A moderate is somebody who has been taking money from special interests for so long that they believe they are entitled to it.

[milyjohn]

LMAO

I might just have to steal that one, also! So many people on this site say they're a moderate. They think that's a feather in their cap. Mittens Romney would stab you in the back with a moderate knife.

[Surely]

I just hope if the election comes down to Trump and Biden. People use their own heads and not vote for Biden because some television personality or news anchor tells them that Trump is bad! But can offer no legit evidence to do so without censoring what Trump actually says. Just like at the January six winter of love. As they called the riots that burnt down businesses and government buildings!

[milyjohn]

Surely, you're a smart cookie. I would LOVE to see it come down to Trump and Biden, and then watch Biden refuse to debate! lol

[Surely]

@milyjohn. Biden will come down with Covid and being the nice considerate guy he is. Won’t want to give it to Trump! So as you said. No debates.
But then again. Maybe Doctor Jill will do the debate for him?

[milyjohn]

LMAO!

What a great question that would be.

"If it comes down to Don and Joe, who will debate on Joe's behalf?"
"Rachel Maddows or Morning Joe?"

[sawno]

I don't care what the excuse is, a government shutdown sounds like a good idea.

[milyjohn]

It needs to happen. Call Biden's bluff. Let Biden answer to the unpaid government employees. Our border has nothing to do with Ukraine.

[FunkyMonkee]

From what I've been seeing, Joey already shut down the government on day one!

[milyjohn]

In hindsight... do you think it was bad to hire a president that is in so deep and compromised by China and Ukraine?

[FunkyMonkee]

Absolutely!! But, we DIDN'T hire Joey, he just installed himself!

[milyjohn]

And he or a hologram of himself, will do it again.

[FunkyMonkee]

Yep!

[Snakeyes7]

The government shutdown sounds good but it would only be the three branches of government. The rest of it like the IRS are still going to keep kicking.

[milyjohn]

"A shutdown would likely affect some 1.3 million active-duty servicemembers who would continue to work but would not get a paycheck. Of the estimated 800,000 Pentagon civilians, some 200,000 would be required to work without pay, because they are "excepted" and roles considered "necessary to protect life and property.""

[Snakeyes7]

"Necessary to protect life and property" my ass.

When the FBI and CIA do nothing but demonize those who want their constitutional rights respected, that statement is utterly laughable.

[Snakeyes7]

And any other three letter government organization for that matter.

[milyjohn]

My point is that this shutdown will piss a lot of people off, but I just hope they understand what caused this.

[Snakeyes7]

Me too

[Jennz6]

Let’s just get rid of Biden

[milyjohn]

How?

[Jennz6]

Do not vote for him, impeach him

[milyjohn]

Jenn, he should have been impeached ten times by now, but the Republicans fight with kid gloves. The Dems impeached Trump twice, and it's going into Biden's fourth year, and the Republicans are still just talking about doing something.

As for voting for him... no one wanted him in the primaries and he won.

[Jennz6]

I know, it’s so sad

[katiesmuff]

Like you just said he won so the majority of voters damn well wanted him!!! Yes I wish he would close the border and then not run in 2024

[milyjohn]

The Republicans talking about the shut down, are the ones that have had to deal with the invasion for decades. But unlike the Democrats, the Republicans won't stick together on this.

[Jennz6]

Democrats are very good at sticking together, especially when Nancy Pelosi was the Speaker

[milyjohn]

They are! I admire them, just like I admire the villains in my favorite movie!


If you're going to be bad, just be the best at it! lol

[Jamie05rhs]

We need to build the wall AND we need to help Ukraine! Do BOTH!!

[milyjohn]

And of those two ideas, only one is happening under traitor Biden.

[Jamie05rhs]

. :(

[Jamie05rhs]

(That was supposed to be a sad face.)

[milyjohn]

It looks fairly sad.

[exitseven]

Biden cannot win the election without the illegal alien vote.

[milyjohn]

@exitseven
The wait in Mexico policy was brilliant. Biden should have just decided that Mexicans can vote for him.

[exitseven]

The state I live in is a sanctuary state. The voters elected a liberal governor who welcomes illegals with lots of free stuff. Within 3 miles of my house there are 2 big hotels that were leased by the state entirely for illegals. The voters also voted to give illegals free drivers licenses. Every time there in an election the Sec. of State goes on TV and tells people to get out and vote. Then he says all you need is a driver's license to register. You probably can figure the rest out for yourself. They will also put up signs in Spanish that if President Trump gets re-elected they will all get sent back.

[milyjohn]

@exitseven

You just gave me another question idea.

"Why do racist Republicans insist you have to be an American in order to vote? What if you just identify as being an American?"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p16U4uucqt4

[exitseven]

@milyjohn. There is a big difference between being FROM someplace and being OF someplace. When people are born here they are invested in their country. When people come here legally they have to live here for a while, fing a job, contribute to society and navigate a long arduous process and then they can recite the Oath of Citizenship It is a big deal to them. If you ever watched one of these ceremonies you will never forget it.
The people that Biden is allowing to stream into the country are no interested in assimilating into the country, thatmy are not interested in finding jobs and contributing to society and they are not interested in becoming a part of something bigger than themselves. They are just here for the free stuff.

[exitseven]

I suspect that when Trump gets re-elected he will stop all the freebies and within a few months a lot of them will go back where they came from. The rest can be deported.

[milyjohn]

@exitseven

My heart bleeds for Pedro. Pedro dreamed of coming to America, but he was naive. He thought that American laws mattered. Pedro took the 15 hour bus ride to the US Embassy in Mexico. He filed his papers, and now he's waiting. He's been waiting for 12 years, because the US government doesn't give two shits about the law. Conservatives love immigrants who want to come to America and have a chance at grabbing the brass ring.

Democrats don't give a fuck about Pedro. They just want an invasion of undocumented Democrat voters.

Hmmm

This is on my list of future questions.

[exitseven]

If Pedto had some marketable skills he would be able to get a green card and get a job. That is how my grandparents did it. Then later he could apply for citizenship. Biden is just getting the uneducated and indigenous who will always be a burden on the country.

[milyjohn]

@exitseven

I disagree 100%.

There are Mexicans that will work on fish processing ships 16/7.
But why would you hire them?
Why not just make it work under the table? Much cheaper.

[Jamie05rhs]

@millyjohn I feel bad for Pedro as well. It's a gross injustice.

[Jamie05rhs]

@exitseven You mean indigent.

[exitseven]

@Jamie05rhs damn auto correct.

[Jamie05rhs]

Lol.

[Hubby05]

Yes. I agree.

[milyjohn]

I just hope the Republicans stick together on this.
