Fucking seriously.  Deaths that wouldn't have happened but for the government shutdown.  You know, the thing we're actually talking about.  Godalmighty, what a stupid fucking conversation.

Yeah well if the government hadn't shut down they'd be able to post more PSAs about smoking and people would see them and not smoke and die, so what about THAT Mr. Smarty Pants?

Can any GOP supporters really outline their platform at this point? Cause all I can see as their platform being is: move money from middle-class and poor up to the top percentages, limit civil liberti

Right, and what's the actual number? 

Look, we have lots and lots of deaths every day b/c of a lot of preventable things: smoking, malaria, obesity. 

I hate that there will be additional deaths (which may contradict your name calling, but that seems to be your MO). My point is how many, look at the numbers, and spare me your angst if there are 25 more deaths a day b/c of the shutdown when there are thousands and thousands of daily deaths that happen b/c we don't take appropriate action on other topics.

But selective outrage is the norm. Especially when it becomes political. But let's get all pissed off over these marginal deaths b/c of the shutdown but not say anything about the others. 

And, Fuck Trump and all those who voted for him.

That's all.

That' the craziest "both sides" I've ever seen.

No selective outrage!  No selective outrage!  YOU'RE the selective outrage!

You are mighty surly today, sir.

And whomst paid for the commercial flight?

Oh, right - we did!

Every congressperson should only be in DC or their home district/state until the shutdown is over.
 

I don't mean to actually you, but:

 

Leg. Branch Appropriations was signed into law in September.  Senate has it's own funding stream, so Graham paid for it out of his MRA and his security would be by the Capitol Police.

Meeting with Erdogan is bullshit tho, the guy had his bodyguards assault American citzens on US soil.  He should be persona non grata.

I can't recall the last time a prominent GOP was pictured meeting individually with a leader from one of our true allies.

TSA is figuring how to a add pressure,  at JFK now and they closed TSA pre and put everyone in the regular line. What would have been 5 minutes will be 40 minutes. 

The TSA agent yelling, ‘FUCK YOU, I ain’t getting paid’ at passengers is a nice touch.

And I appreciate the logistics and facts of it but it doesn’t matter.

He’s one of the main dickheads abdicating the power of a coequal branch of government. I don’t care if his bullshittery is being paid out of a separate account. If he’s going to run his anus mouth about the shutdown, then he needs to at least pretend to act like he’s actually working and not flitting off to suck a despot’s dick.

Lindsey doesn’t give a fuck about facts any longer. Why should I?

This would do it, for me.

Then again, I'm challenging for Platinum right now and have 9 flights (15 segments) booked between now and Feb 18th. If I have to take my laptop out and my shoes off and all that and deal with a nightmare line, I'm calling my representative every free chance I have.

You've got a lot of work to do on your humblebrags.

The wall.... It has been defeated.... By shovels. Can we reopen the fucking government now? Oh wait, bet now we need another $5B for a moat... 

 

https://abcnews.go.com/beta-story-container/US/largest-single-group-migrants-tunnels-border-wall-arizona/story?id=60462672

Migrants can be seen marching toward Border Patrol agents by the hundreds, according to video obtained by ABC News. Smugglers dug a series of seven holes, only a few feet long beneath the steel border fence, with hundreds going beneath the wall and a smaller number clambering over it, according to CBP.

Hugo fantasy talk:

Imagine if Murkowski, Gardner, Scott, and Toomy defected to the democrats, kicked McConnell to the curb, and instantly reopened the government.

How would that play in the court of public opinion?

 

It would split down party lines like every other damn thing these days.

Wouldn't they need more  than that for a veto override?

Yeah no kidding. Little Nazis like Stephen Miller can't like this.

Pelosi should respond with an offer of make DACA permanent and less wall money.

This.  Or 10 year extensions on both for 2.5 million.  When Dems come to power, they can just make it permanent within that time period.
