    Blaming the democrats is like blaming the parents’ for the temper tantrum the kid is throwing because he didn’t get that pony for Christmas.

    And Fat Donald went to the Big Easy. Where we need a wall — a seawall — but he doesn’t care.

    Par tay!

    The countries worst president ever is starting to get caught up in his many crimes.

    As soon as the Orange Menace ends his shutdown, the investigations against him can continue in full force and the Republican party will be over.

    The Canadian hospital Rand Paul is going to takes (Canadian) Medicare

    Rand Paul called Medicare in the USA, “slavery”.

    Are there actually any sane right wingers?

    TRUMP OWNS SHUTDOWN: “If we don’t get what we want … I will shut down the government. And I am proud to shut down the government for border security…. I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. I’m not going to blame you for it.”

    Gary must have missed that press conference where he told everyone he would be proud to shut down the government and take responsibility for it.

    trump owns the shutdown.. Mitch is responsible for keeping it going by protecting his idol from having to admit his vanity wall is a dud

    Trump said he is PROUD to own the shutdown (see video posted by docrucker). The Dems are at a convention discussing how to overcome the damage done by Hurricane Maria and improve the economy in Puerto Rico. Maybe Varvel has never been to a convention, but there is always downtime included and there are mixers sponsored by a vendor or service provider that include food and alcohol and the local attractions.

    Where’s Mitch McConnell? He could open the government up. The fact that he isn’t allowing votes on the relevant bills seems desperate. It is an all-or-nothing play.

    Is Mitch waiting for some perverse miracle? A real national emergency (besides Trump’s “administration”) that will cause the country to unify behind Trump and the Republican Party? A false flag attack? Plague? Klingons landing?

    McConnell may not want to be one of the leaders of the Republican Party as it crumbles, but he is. He may not want to protect the country’s interests over his party’s, but he should. His place in history is forming.

    Democrats are represented by The Ass for a reason! They are all a bunch of ignorant dumb assess who can’t see deep enough into any issue to understand it, let alone properly develop solutions to important problems. They just jump to erroneous conclusions then hee and haw around making grunting noises without resolving anything, EVER! Awful excuse for an American, each democrat is… The whole party together? I no longer want to be a democrat anymore… I’m out. I’m going rogue. Color me Independent. F-the democrats. Republicans are at least working to create solutions to our nations most serious problems.

    Trump shut it down, and McConnell blocks the door.

    Why would Trump be blamed for the shutdown? He said himself that he would proudly shut down the government, and that he was “taking the mantle”, that’s why. Negotiations are stalling because Trump does not want to compromise by reopening the government and then negotiating on the wall. The Democrats have offered compromises. Trump has refused them. This is Trump’s and only Trump’s fault.

    Ok, enough of the crap. All you people who DON’T blame trump, I BEG you to please listen to what he has said HIMSELF. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! “I’ll be the one to shut it down. I will take the mantle.” And ask yourselves, as many have already pointed out; why didn’t he do this when he had all the power? Come on people, wake up!

    Speaking of “vacatios” I wonder if Mr. Varvel read the statement from BLOATUS’ “economic advisor” Hassett, spewing that Fed Workers are actually getting a “vacation” and are better off. Another rock turned over

    Trump shut the government down in order to bully America into building a wall it doesn’t need [Most illegal immigrants arrive by plane or boat. Foreign terrorists arrive by plane.]and which will have devastating effects on wildlife and Americans who live along the border.. He is the only one to blame.

    The Repubs think the shutdown is great. They want to kill government, and they are doing that.The next tactic? Repub states start to grumble about leaving the Union because existentially " Is a Government shut down and non-functioning Still a Government?

    The answer may be no. Do we still need to pay taxes? Why the functions that taxes still fund are now non-existent. Simply transfer Federal requirments of funding to the states, and let the poor republican states like most of the south fail Good Luck Mississippi Alabama and Louisiana
