All the whimpering and whining from furloughed feds seems to be coming from the agencies that are just caught up in the fight.

Other than one rogue DHS employee who had better start running, I haven’t heard anyone from my agency complaining because we understand the issue.

I personally have no issue with those other agencies being funded, but I’m sure McConnell and Trump have their reasons. It’s all strategery...

The “organized” Marxist DemonRAT voter fraud in the midterms gave them a sense of power they don’t have! Ain’t it a bitch?

But one thing is rarely discussed about the Mexican constitution is one must be a citizen to own land and they are very restrictive about granting citizenship.Because of that a US citizen cannot have title in their name to any property in Mexico. And until that is changed the US should seriously consider making that reciprocal.prohibiting citizens of Mexico or countries with similar restrictions from doing so. If that was done would these invasions continue ?.

While focusing in on the Mexican constitution this is something we also should consider. One thing the Mexican Constitution has that we should consider doing.Mexico has no hyphenated Mexicans. They prohibit any reference to race when they conduct a census or issue any means of identification, Where a physical description is needed skin color yes but not by race or nationality or tribal background.By doing this Mexico has avoided “balkanizing”, creating fractional disputes in areas where a given group in one of its states is a majority or a minority. If we did that it would shut down the pervogressive rat party conquer and divide fascist effort.

Democrats are in many ways, simply the legislative arm of the left wing media outlets. I don’t knkw what Republicans are, exactly, other than too many of them fold at the slightest bit of manufactured controversy. They are hopelessly naive, or complicit, in many cases.

The Trumpster has exposed the leftists and remora in .gov, exactly as expected. With a dependably squish set of feckless Republicans and a huge media propaganda machine to cover for them, the Democrats have had it dicked for a long time. They look pathetic now. I pray this shit is just getting started. Drain the swamp.

It’s marks the third time that McConnell has blocked House-passed government funding bills in the past two weeks.

How high can you count?

Most informed people now bash the media. News is obtained from other sources. The propaganda machine is only reaching the people who are too lazy to look for other sources of news.

I read the article you linked to but I think these are two different things.

This post is about the Senate. The linked article is about the House.

BS. He didn’t “block” anything. He insisted that a voice vote was insufficient, and that the vote needed to be counted.

The democrats didn’t like that, so they postponed the vote.

Ah, never mind. I’m thinking about a House vote, not this Senate vote.

Funny how one man with softball size balls and enough hair in the crack of his behind to weave an Indian blanket stiffenes the spine of everyone around him.
