People will be calling their Senators saying and saying "screw the wall, I need my refund!"

His fans are idiots who hate POC far more than they fear or hate people like putin. In fact putin being the white racist he is, they like him.
Civil unrest may be inevitable if 40% of our country are outright traitors. Hope not, but I dont know how else this is resolved.

(82,849 posts)And as the ripple effect goes out (Fox is striving mightily to claim that the shutdown ain't no thang), make sure people are told that their hardships are directly due to Trump's failure to act. Trump is hurting America by shutting down the government. Trump is hurting America, which is what Putin wants. Trump is alienating our allies and breaking our nation's promises to them. It's Trump's fault. All of it.
