Our state Governors, both D and R agrees with Nancy’s approach to ending Trump’s shutdown.
“The letter, dated Monday, was released by the National Governors Association on Tuesday morning, as Trump prepared to address the nation from the Oval Office about the impasse over his demand for border wall funding that has led to a partial government shutdown, now in its third week.
The approach outlined in the letter echoes that of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who has said Congress should reopen government agencies before negotiating over Trump’s plans for a border wall, which she has repeatedly called “immoral.” Trump aides have argued that the issue of border security should be resolved at the same time as other funding issues.”

If that’s not a ■■■■■■ bag post, then I’ve never seen one.
Isn’t it ironic that Trump ■■■■■■■ never said anything like that to coal miners: Stop whining, and go get a job in IT, you ■■■■■■■ slacker!
the world does not owe you anything i know that lame brains like AOC preach otherwise
if poster doesnt want to fall victim to govt shutdowns then perhaps poster finds different line of work instead of blaming non-socialist presidents and politicians
shows you the govt worker entitlement leftist mentality. “i work for govt so deserve to have a job”. then puts it on supporters as the reason for the hardship. gold
(assuming poster is really someone in this position and not a faker pretending hardship to bash trump which seems very possible)
So, do you support the President’s efforts to save dying industries like coal mining, steel manufacturing, etc.? To bail out soybean farmers harmed by his trade policies? If I reviewed your posts over the past six months, would I see derision aimed at those folks, telling them to find another line of work?
coal mining wasnt dying it was dealt a blow by democrats etcal who want it to die
steel mfg was ravaged by ridiculously unfair trade deals. people dont need steel nowadays?
farmers hurt by the realignment of trade have it tough but farmers always do hence farm subsidies, which i’m not so sure i support.
this is not like the govt employee tho, casting political blame when the govt is in gridlock

That’s pretty untrue. It is and has been dying because it’s dirtier and costlier then natural gas.

diminishing, in part due to gas shale, and in part due to greenie weenie democrats who declared war on it. but not dying. coal still supplies a lot of power to the us.
so yeah, pretty true

What were Republicans willing to cut? They’re the ones who voted in those deficits.
Spend and borrow.

In some ways yes, in some ways no. There are pros and cons.

From 2008 to 2016, coal production almost dropped in half mostly due to the natural gas boom. That’s getting owned.
maybe in your gamer menatlity world
yes its declining but still in demand.
They may find a real job while they are waiting… Tons of jobs out there…
Coast Guard, FBI, federal prison guards, ATF, Border Patrol etc aren’t real jobs?
