The image preview in this is great again. He looks about 4 seconds from a nap, as usual. Make napping great again!

Shut it down. I was all for the last one to last until the Midterms, and making the entire campaign a nationwide Democratic food and medical care drive. Instead, as soon as the shutdown hit the airports, and the Donors couldn't move their operatives around the country, the worthless Dem.losers folded, and got nothing.

A Government Shutdown makes a LOT more sense than General Strike. A Strike punishes the people, and lets the government continue to abuse our system and exploit us, while we don't get paid. Instead, shut down the government, keep them from doing any more damage, as we keep working and helping our fellow citizens.

A Strike hurts us, a Shutdown hurts them.

Oh Trump warns must be important..... This dude wouldn't warn shit if it didn't line his wallet with cash.

"The only thing that can slow our Country down is another long and damaging Government Shutdown," Trump wrote on Thursday evening.

Best pro-shutdown endorsement he could possibly have given.

Lets all have a shutdown and see what the government can really keep doing when one is occurring.

No way will we shut down as long Chuck Schumer is here to save the day to bail them out. Fully funded but with a strongly worded email.

Haven't there been dems that said something to the effect of: "the solution to the illegal stuff ice is doing, is to fund them more, so they can do better training"

He will just change the date on the last one, doesn't even have to get out of bed.

I will AVERT a Shutdown no matter HOW Many American lives it COSTS!

-Chuck Schumer!

I thought republicans loved shutting down the government.

Not when they'll get blamed for it and it'll effect the midterms
