So tell me again how these unpaid workers should be happy with their little "vacation" because it'll all be okay when it's over? A little research on your part could prove eye-opening.



How can you face eviction without missing a payment?

One of 3 things is going to happen.

The Muller Report comes out, and it is so damaging that the turtle loses Trump's support.



The elephant party decides enough is enough and refuses to support Trump any longer.

The president or Pelosi is assassinated.

You must be very accustomed to being wrong.

Do you think those that post lies on this forum are unaware that they are posting lies, or are they misinformed and unable to fact check?

Just wondering, because the trip was not a 10 day trip.

She said today it was a weekend trip. Again, Trump playing the drama queen.

Dems and the Reps had an agreement to sign a bill to keep the government open. Trump was going to sign it but walked away. He gets to proudly own this shutdown.

You can't. My point is businesses and landlords can't afford to subsidize those who don't pay their rents or mortgages. Surely you know that.

They already talked to Trump. Now to talk to Pelosi who is hiding from them. The Dems said no deal, not Trump.
