Like Trump, Kim Jung-un’s change of mind is just one bad hair day away.

Polls agree: Americans don't like shutdown and they blame Trump

About half of Americans (51%) said it would be unacceptable if the only way to end the shutdown was to pass a bill that includes Trump's requested funding for the border wall, according to a Pew Research Center poll released on Wednesday. On the other side, 29% said it would be unacceptable for the only end to the shutdown to come via a bill that does not include the president's requested funding for the wall.

Pelosi and her $29 MILLION dollars piggy bank are happily sitting in front of the dinner table eating a decent meal, while many of the 800,000 furloughed workers are standing in free food lines. I hope she is happy. As I said, she does not care about the common worker nor can she relate to them.

Thanks for your feigned concern, but it does nothing to abdicate Trump whom claimed total responsibility for the shutdown.

You're withholding livelihoods from Americans as leverage for your wall demands. It's disgusting as it is un-American. Stop it.
That is not a counter offer. Counter offers include additional border security funding.

Happy 30th Shutdown Day.

It is so very nice that you are concerned about the government workers. But it is interesting how many other avid Trump supporters are happy to see the shutdown continue and have no concern whatsoever about the problems of the furloughed workers. There are those here that have expressed they would like to see the shutdown continue for months. So I guess that you don't stand toe to toe with them?

PS - See the below posting for a great example!

You betcha. No border security funding should equal no Senate vote and no POTUS signature.

Pelosi should feel bad, cause to control just 1 (chamber) out of 3 is bad.

2 overrules 1 as many times as it wants to.

When she passes a CR with $3 bill wall funding, I would bet Senate passes It, POTUS signs it.

Until then, let the Shutdown roll on.

Thank you for proving my point!
