I still think this would be a great opportunity to institute a Zero Based Budget.

Make every department prove that it’s needed.

It is time to arrest the criminals, murderer-accomplices,
traitors, and other felons in Congress during the
Schumer (Vagabond) Shutdown.

We don’t need no stink’n budget. :)

DJT now has the freedom to determine which agencies to ‘temporarily’ close such that feds can live within their means. It’s only a 10-15% cut. Cash Flow Positive Baby !

Drain the Swamp !

Tomorrow’s Campaign Update will address that topic.

“Democrats were ignoring the interests of the millions of American citizens in the name of making a special deal for a relative handful of illegal immigrants,”

There is my only quibble with this article. Never use progressives’ made up language. People aren’t immigrants if they are illegally in the country. They are illegal aliens.

I'd go one further an make it prove it has a measurable benefit. Otherwise you'd have unelected bureaucrats crawling over everything looking for problems or issues to justify their existence. They do enough of that already.

At long last, Donald Trump appears to be rubbing off on members of his own party. The GOP is still infested with RINOs. The thing is, the winds of change are now blowing in Trump's favor; so they are trying to coat-tail on his leadership.

>>no, really, there truly still are a handful of well-intentioned Americans still willing to associate with this band of miscreants

No, really. They are not good. They still vote for foreigners over Americans, the soft racism of low expectations, infanticide, and the redistribution of wealth forced at gunpoint. Some are too stupid to associate their voting with reality, but most are just not willing to accept that they are Marxists (but then they will provide proof texts that Jesus was a Socialist—so...ummm...Marx and Stalin are actually latter-day Apostles??).

Just like the “well-meaning” Mohammed who took the Gospel and turned it on its head to create the Koran, the “good” Democrats turn it on its head to make it the source document for the Communist Manifesto. Neither is “good”.

If the welfare class misses their checks at the first of the month, THEN, you will hear the blame game go full spin and if the GOP is still #Winning then, we will have witnessed a miracle.

And make them all apply for their own job every few years.

MY electric is on, the toilet still flushes, there is food on the shelves. The shut down is great.

How did we ever survive eight and half hours with the government shut down?

“The real glory in all of this is that President Trump for once does not get all the credit for the GOP finally, at long last, doing the right thing. The happy fact is that every leader in the congressional GOP played his role perfectly. Speaker Paul Ryan had his congressional chamber pass the bill that set the tone – with bi-partisan support – on Thursday, and then promptly adjourned the House and sent everyone home so they would not be around to gum up the works any further. Perfect.”

Is the GOP finally on board the Trump Train? I don’t know.

But it sounds like they’re at least in the train station, staring at the schedule board, charge card in hand, thinking about buying a ticket, eyeballing all the other folks out on the platform...

True, but that’s not going to happen. Hell, they’ll most likely have this all resolved before Monday. The point here is that the Republicans finally showed that they can stand firm and win. That’s huge progress for this bunch.

They’ll still make a lousy DACA deal in the end, but this show of will will ensure that they get significantly enhanced border security concessions in return, and it also - more importantly - fires up the GOP voter base, which really needed firing up.

This is a great day. Trust me.

Dingy Harry went YEARS on continuing resolutions and NO budget, and all of a sudden Chucky demands a budget. How times have changed. When the Dems are blamed for the #SchumerShutdown by Associated Press and NYT, and the Dems have internal polling that shows they are infinitely wrong, it is a great morning in America!

No, they’re not all finally on the Trump Train, but they are learning. This shutdown would not have happened a year ago, or even six months ago. This is progress, and it’s very important for the midterm elections.

While there are still good people in the Democrat Party – no, really, there truly still are a handful of well-intentioned Americans still willing to associate with this band of miscreants

You mean like the Germans who saw nothing bad about Hilter's death camps while living only a few miles away from them?

Have the monuments in DC been barricaded yet?
