He will use anything, or anybody to get what he wants. The longer the shut down goes, the more people will turn on him. Take an inflated ego, add greed, and the ability to use others. It usually doesnt end well.

Nobody said it would never affect us but it does prove that a lot of us aren't as dependent on the US government (especially the non essential portions) as democrats would like us to be.

Democrats are serving globalists.

Then WHY is it no problem to find any number of polls saying they don't?

That's just common sense and you're making stuff up about claimed dependency, or whatever your handlers are telling you. I think everyone knows most parts of the government, with the exception of SS, the IRS, and VA, don't touch the population directly. It's predominantly indirect and would take several weeks of degradation before the effects would trickle down.

We all ignore laws. Find out the old junk in your basement is worth more than you paid for it? You sell it but you don't pay Capital Gains taxes. Everyone else is doing 55 in a 45.

Just addressing that we indeed do what you suggest we should do.

So your solution is to shut down talk radio because it doesn't conform to your view....right?

Thanks for making my 2020 decision so much easier. As you have for most federal employees.
Couldn't you come up with a new trick? Claiming you are a lifelong Trump supporter who is no disappointed and won't vote for him again. Yeah, right. If I had time, I would dox you here and show you were never a Trump supporter.

What a funny thing to say.

No, actually I listen to Rush Limbaugh when I'm in the car between the hours of 11-2.

So, no. Wrong.

There are a lot of things Americans don't want but are getting them anyway. If you don't want walls, why keep what we have?
