I looked in the Lefty Dictionary published by WaPo:

Power - Continual lying backed-up by the MSM

We’re not talking about your average knee-jerk leftists, I agree with you.

We’re talking about educated journalists working under companies whose whole goal is to spout propaganda for the left.

You think they forget about the articles they write? No. They know exactly what they are doing.

"When trump does it. no one will know. you just shut down the stuff he wants to eliminate and see how long it takes for anyone to notice."

I hadn't thought of it that way, but it is brilliant.

Obama shut down National parks and had veterans escorted away.

Trump could keep all of the "goodies" OPEN that liberals like, and shut down the useless $hit like the EPA and the energy department.

I like it.

Then let's hear the wailing about oh how will we LIVE without the Department of Education?

Have the Left make the case.

Meanwhile people will be enjoying Yosemite and the D.C. monuments.

And continuing to collect their SS checks.

I bet few people would care.

Very tempting if Trump allowed this.

I understand that we’re discussing ‘educated’ ‘jpurnalist.’ That’s why I said journalism majors tend to be low on the IQ scale. You are free to think whatever you like about them. My assessment is that they hold unexamined, unquestioned, intellectually narrow, knee-jerk leftist views. The overarching agenda for them is, ‘How do we advance progressive views/attack conservatives today?’

They’re not deep thinking, big picture peopke.

We really do need to agree to disagree. I have no illusions about changing your views, and you certainly won’t change mine.

Just REMEMBER!!!

Jeff Bezos revitalized The Washington Post since taking over less than three years ago and he is also
an investor in Business Insider through his personal investment company Bezos Expeditions.

Republican majorities have traditionally functioned this way. They get a majority and most pine for the days of their proper minority status and they make themselves function as a minority even as they are a nominal majority. We need a Gingrich back in the House. he broke the mold for a while.

If the government “shuts down” the Republicans will contrive to take the blame. It’s what Republicans do. They should, in fact, take the credit for it but they don’t know how to handle something like that.

hink that at the most, one department head yelled. He got it, but from then on, only one copy was printed.>>> yes that is funny. i would stop all reports and see then hear who looks at them. i do look at about 20. but the fun part is to see who barks after you shut them down.

When the GOP was the minority and threatened a shutdown, the MSM played it like the end of the world as we know it, and suicide for the GOP.

Now the shoe is on the other foot, and it’s called, ‘power.’

The blind, stupid hypocrisy of journalists is off the scale.>>> it will be fun to see how trump handles it.

An honest constituent will put the fear of God in the politician that promised to represent him.

Shut it down and make sure the Government Employees not working don’t get paid retroactively when the shut down ends.

Unpaid Vacation, enjoy. The rest of us slobs are still working and paying Taxes to fund your Pensions.
