Someone Explain This 'Shutdown' to Me?

[Rev. Rye]

Yeah... No, that's not how democracy works. It doesn't matter how morons misunderstood the significance of their shallow victory in presidential elections. If they really wanted their dumb wall, perhaps they shouldn't have let Democrats win the House, hmmm?

Also wasn't it also "understood" that Mexico would pay for the wall?  F*ckwits have short
memory, don't they?


Let me give you a hint - those walls are NOT there to prevent immigration. Deceptively
simple solutions to complicated sociopolitical problems are usually only meant to placate simpletons and are a very expensive exercise in political posturing. Just because even a dimwit understands how a wall works, doesn't make it a viable solution to an international issue.

We didn't elect you.  Too bad, huh?

To be fair, we don’t have agents in Russia to help rig the ballots, now, do we?

Simple answer is that Trump is shutting down the government because if he doesn't get his wall, he will have failed to deliver on a key campaign promise, and that will hurt his prospects in the 2020 election. Giving up on the wall would be seen as a betrayal by his base, which he is depending on to re-elect him in 2020. Thus he's between a rock and a hard place.

Well, to be fair, it is the only plank on his platform that he has consistently supported throughout his campaign.
