The Great Wall Shutdown

But I thought Trumpers are open to asylum seekers and it's not just about not letting in Brown people.

Real reality: it's far more complicated than this and cannot be boiled down to clearly partisan binary positions like in the image. Asylum Seekers come in all types from the criminal (before and after) to the innocent that are in desperate need of asylum.

I seem to recall Adam once admitting that He lived in a gated community.

So yeah.

Drugs will do that to you. I live in a residential living community in a nice neighborhood, but it is not gated.

Nah. I bet you are Lying. Unless that "Royal Palace" bit is a big fib!

Trump admin is demanding 50,000 more federal workers go back to work unpaid, adding to the nearly 425,000 already in that shitboat.

Take the money out of Pelosi's Paycheck. Pay em with that.

*Delayed pay

It's already part of the shutdown that they will get back pay once the sequestration is over (for those who worked during the sequestration).

A significant number of federal workers are contractors, who do not receive backpay.

Even the ones who are forced to work (or lose the job) and who will eventually get reimbursed, their creditors don't care. Rent, car payments, utility bills, credit cards, all largely go "f*ck you, pay me!".

No, you're right to bring this up. This is a good point.

Contractors are not federal works, however. The post I responded to was referring to federal workers.

Also, I was a federal contractor during a sequestration when Obama was in office. I was considered "essential personnel" so I didn't have to consider the money problem at the time. But I would be devastated if I had to go a month or so without pay at the time.

And Robtard brings up that point:

Not to mention that many federal workers, such as correctional officers who work in prisons, are required to maintain a good credit score and a history of on-time payments, as conditions of employment. Financial difficulties make them vulnerable to exploitation such as taking bribes.

Lol!

"How do we stop corruption?"

"How about imposing a good strict credit requirement?"

"A genius move, with no possible unintended incentives to take bribes even in the best of times, let alone an unforeseen loss of regular payment due to a political pissing contest!"

To be fair, the government shutdown is not supposed to be a thing that happens.

and if the republicans had done there job, it wouldn't have.

This is not a simple matter of neglect or incompetence though, this is deliberate. It is not as if they forgot, they did it on purpose. They are governing by ransom, effectively threatening Democrats with damage to the country, unless they acquiesce to their ludicrous demands for things they could not get through regular order.
