So outraged were the American public, they voted in MORE Republicans after last year's " shut down ", which wasn't by any stretch a shut down.

I say Shut Down the Whole Fucking Thing. Listen to Dick Cruz, he knows exactly what he's doing. While you're at it, listen to his father as well, the man who was kicked out of Cuba and went to Canada before coming here to make his fortune.

Wait.....that would make him an immigrant, wouldn't it! Then that would make his son, the son of an immigrant! Hmmmmmm, funny how things work out.

1 Ford, Sep 30 - Oct 11, 1976. 10 Days, house and Senate under Democrat control.
2-6 Carter, 1977-79. 12, 8, 8, 18, 11 days; House and Senate under Democrat control.
7-14 Reagan, 1981-87. 2, 1, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1 days; House and Senate under Democrat control.
15 Bush41, Oct 5-9, 1990. 3 Days, House and Senate under Democrat control.
10 Clinton, Nov 13-19, 1995. 6 Days, House and Senate under Republican controlled Contract With America to reign in Spendaholic Slick's waste.
11 Clinton, Dec 5 1995 - Jan 6 1996. 21 days, House and Senate under Republican controlled Contract With America.
12 Obama's hissyfit, Sep 30 - Oct 21, 2013. 16 days of Barack Hussien's temper tantrum, House under Republican control and Senate under Democrat control.

That makes grand totals of:
1 of 10 days for Ford, with Dem control of Congress.
5 of 57 days for Carter, with Dem control of Congress.
8 of 14 days for Reagan, with Dem control of Congress.
1 of 3 days for Bush41, with Dem control of Congress.
2 of 27 days for Clinton, with split control of Congress.
1 of 16 days for Obama's hissyfit, with split control of Congress.

10 for 27 days for Republicans.
8 for 100 days for Dems.

So why are the libtards having such a fit, and the liberal GOP leaders with them?

Naw, Shut Down everything, including Defense.........have some balls, shut down EVERYTHING!

Then we'll see some real shit. No IRS, Army, Navy etc. No regs for banks, hospitals, Bridges and Tunnels, roads. No Taxes either. Fuck everything!

Then we'll see some shit! The republicans, no the Tea House will show us how real non-government works. Every man for himself, if you want something just take it. No foreigners allowed. Any country fucks with us, bomb 'em straight to hell......wait, no more DOD. Fuck, we have enough guns to outfit an Army, an all volunteer Army because there's no more DOD. No more Secretary of Defense, Generals or any State Dept personnel to get killed in any country because, no more State Dept. Which means no more Benghazis.

Shit! This is a great idea. America for Americans. No more Ebola, no more Border patrols because we don't have Homeland Security anymore - No more government!
Best Idea Ever!

Maybe. But only Carlos's cousin knows when he's going to blow the leaf into the pool. A constant Yin/Yang thing going on there, pool guys and lawn care.

Don't get me started on those leaf blower guys. More dangerous than Al Qaeda, they can go anywhere ... do anything. No one dares to get in their way. An occupation army patrols the streets of my once-quiet neighborhood. They will take over the world.

I'm hoping for one, we could start to balance the budget.
I was pointing out that there is no rational reason for anybody to be concerned about it. But it looks like the posters in this thread are already on target.
Now if somebody could clue in Johnny Boner.

Keep in mind, you're talking to bozos who are now calling the GOP "liberal" because its not draconian enough.

So yes - everything they say is a joke. They just don't get it.

When the GOP blowhards have fallen to the liberal side, they are liberal. Those who vote as conservatives are not on the liberal side of the spectrum. Once JFK was effectively conservative, but the Dems have left that time far behind. The same Ford/Dole/McCain/Romney liberals would be glad to never heard again of Reagan conservatives, and thus they will continue to lose. Just because everybody in your life is left wing extremist libtard does not mean the center does not exist anymore, or the reasonable populace of the conservative side of the spectrum.

Keep proving how little you understand what "liberal" means, bagger boy.

It must have been positively excruciating for him to not include in his post a claim that he was not a liberal. Always funny when libtards feverishly deny that they are, in fact, extremist left-wing (aka wrong-wing) liberals.

Are we in Government shutdown now?
I had heard that if Cramnibus was not passed by yesterday, 11 Dec, then the Government ran out of money. So today, 12 Dec, I don't hear any breaking news about being in a Shutdown.
What's up?

We realize you are illiterate, and therefore cannot comprehend words as the post from 47 threads earlier, or about 17 hours before (or, 9 threads from the top when you started necroposting). But golly gee whiz, the characters and symbols in the story are the exact same as the other linked article. We call those characters and symbols words.

http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?tid=67136

Due to your illiteracy, we understand that you are incapable of comprehending that Trump's Deferred Resignation program - which the Libtard headline refers to - is not the same as any other Government Shutdown - which the Libtard headline tries to imply, for any gullible clown like you to swallow - even though Trump plans to exercise his authority like any President could have before.

Try to get somebody to read it for you, and explain it to you. Any dunce would be better than you.

It's extremely hard for you to make that argument when we've got Ted and Second here. Especially Ted.

I really don't understand your animosity toward each other. From what I can tell you two are pretty much in agreement on nearly everything except for one of you loves Jews and the other one hates Jews.

Bingo! Disco! You almost got it

but being honest...We agree on almost nothing

some of the few things we perhaps agree on ;

1 Antifa/Hollyweird are sickos Loons
2 islam is a garbage religion or aggressive murderous political system or a 'Cult'
3 Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were crazy and opened the border to an invasion

I don't hate Jews, I get along with secular Jewish people very well in fact, and I even get along with Israelis who just do their thing and dont want to see babies bombed.
Secular Jew btw does not mean 'Antifa' nor does it mean Chuck Schumer type of person nor does it mean those Bolsevik loons...all those types seem to be close to Marxist Socialists and a lot of Jews were involved in the foundings of those Radical Left parties and I mean A LOT of Jews.
A few of the shape shifty sneaky ones almost jumped out a window in fear when I confronted them...in the end I didnt do anything I just told them to 'Be Normal' they were absolute loons, perhaps these sneaky thieving shifty cowards thought I was going to throw them into a gas chamber or something?
but no I don't hate Jews I get along with a number of Israelis and Secular Jews...I dont care for Marxists nor am I into any of the Babylon Religion Crap with their chicken rituals.

I was never a NeoCon...always had some criticism for little-Bush and Cheney

I said some stuff that offends his chicken voodoo rituals and some practicing Jews do some very weird Babylon shit where a Rabbi tells them a ritual can magically erase their crimes

I have been around Christians but I am not Evangelical, not into Philosemitism, not a Judeophile nor do I worship them, I don't see them as chosen people, I am not into Mormon stuff I am not into any of that old Masonic Queen King of England Dutch Episcopal Church Masonry crap, Ive been around people of other faiths Buddhists or whatever flavor they were called.
I think what Benjamin Netanyahu is doing bombing children starving them to death is an abomination, so much so that Israeli soldiers themselves are doing mass suicides at levels never seen before...What happened with the terrorist attacks on Jews was a terrible crime but that was October 2023..whats happened since seems to be revenge and Overkill.
Benjamin Netanyahu's influence on world affairs has been terrible, he goes back to the 70s in USA politics, he also attended MIT and around all those masonic guys at Harvard University to study political science where he got deep in with the LDS Mormon guys and met future presidential candidate Mitt Romney, this alien Israeli guy with his alien sandbox culture that blabs about the extermination of Amalek tribes and sees you as a 'Goyim' he has been around a long time, longer than dictator Putin.
Leah Rabin the wife of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin has blamed Benjamin Netanyahu and said he was responsible for her husband's death.

I think on historical events that some of the Crusades were positive and its a pity Lebanon is not still Christian, ...if not Christian then maybe give it back to descendants of Pagan Greek Egyptian Pharaoh...none of that current religion crap, or maybe Mongolia Ghenghis Kahn Mongolian shamanism or just give it to a bunch of Native American casino guys with guns they might run that shitshow better?? because whats happening now is a disaster...It aint working! it just builds a forever cycle of War and Misery and Terror. The Christians and Atheists have become incredibly weak against the spread of islamism, Jewish groups like the Hewbrew Immigrant Society and Jew NGOs bringing illegals to the USA border are not your friend.
How long has the rot and corruption been inside...maybe Epstein wasnt just working for Lord Maxwell and some Royal Blackmail scam maybe he was also working for Netanyahu?
I don't worship either US Democrat nor do I worship the Republican party, in fact I think Reagan's actions on Lebanon were the actions of an idiot, a B-movie actor coward but then again it was Bush senior mostly running that show and like Clinton it wasnt until years later that we got to see so many scandals behind the scenes.

Not all Jews within Israel believe in that Amalek crap and most of the millions of Jews of the world live outside Israel. You can speak against some of these vile people and still be 'for them' as a majority and their freedoms
