Trump: US ‘needs a good shutdown’

[FriendlyFire]

Government Shutdown please !
Its a win-win shutdown the government then blame the democrats so that the deplorables will vote more Republicans into power. Then they can go nuclear on the US congress.

The only thing stopping GOP from ramming through everything they want is stupid infighting, by the ideological puritans. Because the DEM just helped pass a CR

Trump: US ‘needs a good shutdown’

President Trump on Tuesday called for a "good shutdown" in September to fix the "mess” in government.

He also expressed frustration that legislation needs 60 votes in the Senate because of the filibuster, saying it would be necessary to elect more Republicans or "change the rules."

"The reason for the plan negotiated between the Republicans and Democrats is that we need 60 votes in the Senate which are not there! We either elect more Republican Senators in 2018 or change the rules now to 51%. Our country needs a good 'shutdown' in September to fix mess!" he wrote in a series of tweets.

All he has to do is veto the current spending bill. My guess is he is to tempted by the signing ceremony though.

Oops, x-post.

In 2013,Moody's Analytics estimated that a shutdown of three to four weeks would cost the economy about $55 billion

The Republican voters only cared that the government shutdown was done to hurt Obama and then rewarded the GOP with even more votes
Giving them control of everything.

Breitbart and the rest of the right wing crazy's media is making it perfectly clear that any spending bill that isn't filibustered in the senate must be vetoed or it is an unacceptable caving to the Demoncrats. Trump and the Republicans are actually caught in the trap of their own making. They will have to either destroy the country or offend their base. I'm fine either way.

Destroying the country is not a good thing.

But Libertarian Utopia golden age will be ushered into existence
With affordable healthcare and guns for everyone

Oh wait! With no funding for the Wall, with funding Obamacare and Planned Parenthood and the National Endowments for the Art and Health, Trump has declared this budget compromise as a "Great Republican Victory!"

You're in the Philippines, I'm building a parachute to Belize. I am no longer concerned.

This is being painted in the extreme right media as Trump being just another lying establishment RINO. The only grace they are granting him comes from his promise to shut down the government in September. If he fails to come through then I think he's lost the lunatic fringe.

There could be a lot of profitable congestion at the golf courses Trump owns in September.

Share credit with Republicans? I doubt it.

We get to do this all over again in September. What fun.

You seem to be understanding Washington better these days. Was it a revelation or did the realization come slowly? The first and fourth are from Bill Clinton. can you source the others?

The first three are from Orwell's 1984.

The referent for the fourth is clear enough from context.

But its only an impeachable offense if a Democrat dose it ?
At least the Clintons have been finally stopped, only to have the Trumps which is so much better

So.....Melania 2024? Oh wait no, she isnt natural born. Ivanka I guess.

Ivanka's mother was foreign born which makes her (and the Donald - son of a woman born in Scotland) ineligible under Obama-era birther theory.

That only applies to Democrats.
