You mean this one where she sounds pretty concerned about wardrobes for prisoners? Really nothing of substance here. She wants receipts, great, lets all anoint her as the next Rhodes Scholar...see what happens when Trump sets the bar so low? Even trash like her looks good.

They have a very rational reason not to negotiate. They had a deal and Trump backed out. Trump said that he wanted to own the shutdown. He doesn't want to budge on his demand. Might as well let him twist in the wind on this issue as he is getting most of the blame. Like with a child, sometimes they have to learn that they can't always get their way.

So I guess the FDA not being able to inspect food properly won't affect you? You grow all your own food? I think there are lots of ways many of us will be affected in the long run.

Poor liberals: "They had a shutdown, but no one missed the portions o govt closed".

This may lead, long term, to more limited government.

I don't think it will lead to anything like that. Those who are furloughed will get their jobs back and get their money eventually. But I'm sure it doesn't hurt for you to dream.
