25. I'm a "conservative progressive"....

WASTING $5,000,000,000 to get this worthless lard ass to open the government offices again isn't going to work in my book.

If these dumb ass repuKKKes want to specify WHERE walls are needed so that it can be evaluated, then and only then, we might be able to spend money on a damned wall. In the middle of nowhere so this jackass can score a win with his brainless KKKlan is ridiculous. Also, I heard his girlfriend, lindsay, mention we might be able to give DACA "work visas" or some such bull shit. BULL SHIT!! They don't need to be kept as pawns in this immigration nightmare that this irresponsible government is wholly responsible for. They need a pathway to citizenship, and the other 11-20 million need options to gain a legal status. They don't all need to have a pathway to citizenship, but the majority should not be prevented from applying for citizenship under the right circumstances and with the legal background.

Don't fucking cave on this one Pelosi. I feel awful for the government workers. If I was one I'd be looking for employment elsewhere. If you are content with having a career in a field where you are threatened every year with a lay off and hardship, I'd say that sucks and there are better ways to make a living. I was a teacher for 30 years, and strikes and canvassing the city to pass levies was enough to make me think twice about the profession I chose. It's a crying shame, but when you get an asshole like the mushroom-dick tyrant, you are going to run into this life style at any given time. That totally sucks.

NO wasting 1000 X 1000 X $1000 times 5 for his fucked up wall.
