Government Shut Down – a Win-Win Situation.

[Ezekiel Bathfire]

I don’t see how POTUS Trump can lose here. These are the facts:

1. President Donald Trump is refusing to approve a federal budget unless it includes funding for a border wall. But Democrats say the $5.7bn he wants would be a waste of money.

2. At the same time, about a quarter of the federal government will go without funding until a budget is agreed, leaving 800,000 employees without pay.

3. Let’s say that each government employee earns $4000 per month. Each month the US saves $3.2 billion.

4. The big argument is about Mexicans who have not yet arrived but are approaching the southern border like a human tsunami, right?

5. So the cause of the shut-down is Mexico. Mexico is saving the US $3.2 billion per month.

The Wall is $5.7bn – in less than 2 months, the Mexicans will have paid for the Wall.

Job Done! And the big joke is that the Demoncrats have made this possible.


Trump's a genius!

The wall will be built by October.

I think funding the wall with savings from striking federal employees is a good idea.

This got me to thinking about potential complications. What if Congress quickly ended the shutdown and all these slackers had to be paid again? There is a solution.

If the President put a special WALL TAX on every Mexican Restaurant we could have to wall paid for soon. Patriotic Americans might eat more Mexican just to help the cause.

The biggest whiners are those in the Parks Service. Well, that should've been thrown out decades ago. Sell the land to corporations that can actually use the land to turn a profit. The red injuns sat around admiring the land and not exploiting it, and look where that got them.

If all the Mexicans in the caravan would bring tools and bricks, they can start building the wall and get a visa to come to the USA in return. Trump gets a wall. Mexicans pay. Democrats get some immigrants (don't worry we'll round them up before 2020).

I admit, it's sad to give the Dems anything out of the deal after their shameful behavior calling the longest shutdown in history a manufactured crisis. If this were not a real crisis, why would Trump wait so long to declare a national emergency? It doesn't make any sense.

As a great President once said, the buck stops with everybody. There's blame on all sides; they're rapists, murderers and I assume some good people.

Not my fault.

Not my fault.

I think it was President Harry Truman who said that. Whoever it was, it remains true.

We voters across the country need to assert ourselves and declare the government must not open until Mexico pays for the wall. It's only right.

I will just say, that our President has always the best things, and now he has the honor of being responsible for the longest government shutdown in the US history. I mean, he couldn't do just a small shutdown, he had to have the biggest!

Something just helped me understand why the Democrats are keeping the government shut down: Senator Chuck Schumer is a Jew.

Remember that the Jews told Pontius Pilate to kill Jesus. Jesus was the Promised One. He had come to earth to save the Jews--but they wanted him killed.

Here comes President Trump's wall. It will save us from being overrun by unclean brown people.

But no. A Jew wants the Wall killed. Seems like history repeating itself.

I always thought that the Jews didn't exist until Jesus came. God's chosen people, the pre-Christians, are always called Hebrews in the Old Testament. Jesus comes as the Messiah, and some of the Hebrews become Christians. The Jews are the wicked ones who reject Him and His message. The Jews are not God's chosen and they never were. Thus Jesus was NOT a Jew (aside from the fact that He wasn't Hebrew either because He was God), and neither was Abraham or Moses or David or Job. They all would have accepted Christ if He had come during their lifetimes. They were not money-grubbing little creeps that looked like this:

Chuck "Jew Boy" Schumer is only part of the problem. The other one is that cathylick Nancy Pelosi - no doubt holding out for masses of South American migrants with their cathylick "liberation theology" socialist Marxism to overwhelm the country and illegally vote to keep her in power. Mueller should be investigating Pelosi for collusion with the Vatican.

Then there is looser "Oven" Mitt Romney (who couldn't even beat Obama), beggs Trump for an "endorsement" to get a senate seat - then writes a hit peace on Trump in the Washington (com)Post (come on Mitt, take your shirt off - we know you're wearing that "magic" underwear). Mitt is vying to get his own planet.
