Dear Democratic Leadership: THANK YOU!

[Mr.WeRP]

Also, don’t cave.

As long as the government is shut down, ICE workers won’t get paid, even though they have to show up and do their jobs. Hold out long enough, and they will quit.

This is our only chance to stop the insanity.

1. that cuts both ways of course....

but I hear you.

[Mr.WeRP]

2. Trump has defunded more than half of the good part of the Fed Govt

He will continue eliminating programs, illegally, to fund whatever he wants to do.

He is lawless and it is time to start treating him with that reality in mind.

Unfortunately, that means burning it all to the ground in order to start over.

3. I fear you may be correct. Cannot surgically excise this.

One can only hope the innocent will understand

[Mr.WeRP]

7. The innocent were being harmed well before this

How many innocents have been disappeared or died in concentration camps this year? How many innocents have been killed while on a boat?

It’s already happening. Burn it down.

[Raven123]

8. Sorry, I thought you were referring to government employees in your statement

Those who are actually trying to do their job. Of course I am aware of the attack by many in the administration on the people.

[Scubamatt]

4. Yes, thank you . . .

. . . for showing some spine.

And also, don't cave! (Let's all repeat it!)

5. Adelita Grijalva

can't be sworn in until the House is back in session... result... no vote on getting the Epstein Files released... there is no motivation for trump to negotiate or end the shutdown...

[Mr.WeRP]

6. That's a big so what. The damage is done wrt Epstein

His cult knows it ain’t going to get released. And this is prob why the Dems in the oversight committee released what they did the other day. Why wouldn’t they release more? Prob because there really is nothing there or because they want to keep the GOP divided.
