WTH..........UNbelievable

Stop believing Chicken Littles like National Geographic. They have continually lied about the damage global warming has done and exaggerated the results. So many of their predictions never came to pass and now you expect me to believe that it will take years to recover from weeks of neglect. They were also wrong about the damages the fires would do to Yellowstone. The fires actually helped Yellowstone in many ways, but National Geographic likes to overblow their reporting.

and yet, the shut down is due to the fact that Pres.Trump says there is a "crisis" at the border. but you're indicating that people should relax about the shut down - I'm having a hard time knolling that one out Fred. As I have said over and over...I'm not sure ANY of our politicians understand that the things they do to win for their party actually effect the little guy.
Maybe the shut down is not bothering you - stock market may be up - but if you are some little guy who is hired to clean at a facility that is closed down because of the shut down, you A.do not own stock and B. can't afford not to get a paycheck for an undetermined amount of time, and that in fact may create a crisis for that person and the many just like him who live pay check to pay check.

What you say is true park. Usually change comes with a down side as well as an upside. In order to evaluate it you have to look at both sides of the equation.

That is easy to say unless you can't feed your family, or pay your rent and a month from now you're living on the street. is there no sanity or compassion in this world any more?

Please be aware …….you (collectively) are witnessing the demise of democracy.....Trump
has totally trashed ANY compromise. The answer lies in his alignment with an adversary.
PUTIN IS EX KGB.....and has exercised tradecraft to exact the results he desires. Trumps
unawareness of tradecraft has created a critical condition that will impact our nation (NATO
EXIT), a war, a recession AND for TRUMP.....his family, his business and finally his presidency
(IMPEACHMENTOR RESIGNATION)…...this is a TEST OF SURVIVAL OF OUR WAY OF LIFE....DEMOCRACY,,,jmo

5 billion dollars is a very small part of a 4+ trillion dollar budget. Thousands of Americans have been killed due to the Democrat's sanctuary policies. Why doesn't Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer get e-verify back online and approve this small expenditure? Like you said, American workers are suffering because she wants to make political points.

Please! Representative democracy is strong and vibrant! The Republicans lost over forty seats in the House. Democrats have shut down the government. If Trump was a dictator like you believe, he would just start building the wall right now. Just yesterday he invited Democrats to the White House to hammer out a compromise. None attended.

AGAIN research the FOURTH TURNING ( I have posted numerous times the impact of
this concept)…..also I answered your attendee problem in another thread.....the king was
attempting to circumvent Pelosi and Pelosi gave carte blanch to the attendees with her blessing....they ALL opted out because of the obvious ploy to alienate and divide.
