They Are Both Acting Like Children

Yes…and anyone defending one while condemning the other is a bigger part of the problem than either of those they expect solutions from.

Hard to believe Pelosi thought she could pull that off without a commensurate reply. It was as if she didn’t know Trump at all.

Hope they now take this opportunity to back off further childish shots. But really not counting on it.

The SOTU and a congressional delegation are not commensurate. Everyone and their mother goes on CODELs.

Say what you will about Pelosi, but it’s funny watching her play Trump so easily.
 
I would feel a lot better about this if Trump canceled all use of AF planes for congressional junkets. Imagine the cost of doing that. And imagine too, the “environmental carbon” that would be released carrying one woman from the U.S. thousands of miles on a fuel-hog of a plane just so she can say she went. She would burn up thousands of gallons of fuel and then come back and insist that I can’t drive a full-size pickup.
 
Personally I’m rather enjoying this. With my popcorn and all. I find it entertaining and American. Each of them positioning to defend what they think they were elected to do. Meanwhile despite all the doom and gloom the sun rises every day.
 
I never allowed my children to behave like that, I won’t reward politicians with my vote for acting like that. We should be able to do better than this.
 
Vote out all of the incumbents on both sides. Anything short of that, it’s over.
 
And what about all those working without pay or not working at all?
 
There are risks and rewards with each career choice. Yes, I sure hope they can get back to work soon. Yes, it’s sad it has to come from this but they do have employment when this is over and will get paid. This is how the government works. And apparently doesn’t work. Layoffs, furloughs, cuts, etc happen in most jobs. But here we have two competing platforms. I’m on the side of the wall. I think perserverence in this situation. Will set the tone for the next two years. I don’t know who will win, but I’m fascinated by the battle. The American people chose this with the last two elections. This is the will of the people. So be it.
 
The Democrats chose the person that lost them the House, and a lot of support, to begin with. The same sort of pettiness was inevitable.
 
I can’t help wonder if you would be so stoic if you were the one at the disadvantage while bills pile up.
 
As a contractor, I am sympathetic to anyone who goes without pay, but lucky for the government civilians that they will get their back pay. We get nothing. No pay, no back wages. Given how tight most people’s budgets are, trying to recover from a month of lost income can be devastating.

Luckily, we are DoD funded and the money was allocated long before this budget.l impasse.
 
The “I got mine, too bad/too sad” mentality is disturbing.

St. Joseph, patron of workers, pray for us!
 
They had to pass a bill by 2/3 vote to back pay their employees. Thanks for your testimonial. I believe it was reported that a positive GNP would be most difficult to achieve next reporting period.
 
I think it’s fine POTUS isn’t enabling a foreign press tour for Nancy in the midst of the shutdown.

I’d also like to hear Nancy explain how Border Patrol is lying, how they don’t know what will help them do their job more effectively.
