Still, it is not like Trump cares for facts...

Federal employees remain overwhelmingly opposed to the partial government shutdown, according to a new poll by Government Business Council and GovExec.com, with 72 percent against it and just 21 percent supporting it.

The results vary little from the last GBC/GovExec survey, conducted during the first week of agencies closing their doors, when 71 percent of federal workers said they opposed the shutdown. Now in its 25th day, federal employees appear cemented in their shutdown views.

Just 34 percent of federal employees support President Trump’s request for funding a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, while 56 percent oppose it. Of those against the wall, more than four out of five are strongly opposed to it. One in 10 respondents said they were neither for nor against Trump’s push for the wall.

Those working at shuttered agencies, which includes more than 800,000 employees who are not currently receiving pay, generally reflect the opinions of the federal workforce at large. Employees at closed agencies were only more opposed to the shutdown than their colleagues at fully funded agencies by 3 percentage points. Employees who are currently working—either at shuttered agencies without pay or at funded agencies—were slightly more opposed to the shutdown than their furloughed colleagues.

some agencies are fully funded: Defense, VA, HHS, postal service,

Good fucking god, when will his nightmare of a "human being" just die already?

If they are directed to show up and do not, they can be fired ... also known as a "rock and hard place".

Like the farmers are winning big!! BULLSHT!!!!

Right.

Now they are "great patriots"? Seriously?

BULL SHIT.

After nearly 4 decades of the Republican Party and its media cronies harping about "big gubmint," seeking to drown it in a bathtub or, most recently, "deconstruct the administrative state," this ain't gonna fly.

(except for the uncritical MAGA cult)

In my humble opinion, the only way out of this is to shut the country down. If ALL of us just stop for one day, we could shake this thing up.

Don't spend a penny, don't work unless it's for something vital, slow down everything, whatever we need to get that crazy old man in the White House to realize we mean business.

He is such a clown.

Soon, there will be a market for t-shirts saying, "Trump Took Away My Paycheck and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt."

BTW, the $5.7 billion isn't for the wall. It's for a down payment on the wall. The whole thing is estimated to cost in excess of $25 billion to complete (if it ever is completed). Once that first concrete is poured, though, the rest of the wall HAS to be finished because, "We've already built the first 300 feet."

The same logic was used to keep sending cannon fodder to Iraq. "Not sending more soldiers to die dishonors the sacrifice of those who have already died."

Can't pay your bills? Tough.

...they care about the fact that this Friday will be the 2nd missed pay period. Bullshit is what this is.
