  • Government shutdown could become longest ever as Trump says he ‘won’t be extorted’ by Democrats

    From apnews.com

    The government shutdown is poised to become the longest ever this week as the impasse between Democrats and Republicans has dragged into a new month. Millions of people could lose food aid benefits, health care subsidies are set to expire and there are few real talks between the parties over how to end it. President Donald Trump said in an interview aired on Sunday that he “won’t be extorted” by Democrats who are demanding negotiations to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies that expire at the end of the year for millions of Americans. Echoing congressional Republicans, the president said on CBS’s “60 ... (full story)

Republicans: "Open first, talk after." (Like a child who clutches the toy in his hand and says, "It's mine!")

Democrats: "Talk first, open after." (Like the other child who screams, "You have to promise we'll play together!")

Citizens and federal employees: Sound of stomachs gurgling and anxiety rising.

Speaking of extortion, other countries will now say "we will not negotiate with that extortionist until he removes those tariffs".
Once again wrong - The Dems voted for the budget and it passed now the Democrats are holding peoples food hostage. All the Dems have to do is sign the CR - the government opens and talks start. Easy-peasy EXCEPT for those with TDS

The ego is a problem. It's not about him. Your two party system requires some negotiation. Stop messing with my trading journey.

Isn't it funny that the Dems have signed this exact bill 13 times until now. We need less government, no pacs, no lobbyists, no lifetime politicians. Our churches are already stocking up to help the people that need it. If you are an able-bodied person, you need to work! If you can't take care of your children, stop having them. The Dems are winey brats, who don't want their gravy train to stop. Bernie Sanders is a multi-million Socialists, who just wants your money. I love the USA, I am proud to be an American and if you are not, go live somewhere else. I do not want to be a Socialist Country. I want to be able to Worship, Love, Prosper, and Raise a Beautiful Family. Without someone trying to mutilate my children. President Trump is not stupid. He loves this country and wants it to be great and secure.

So, how is this shut down not the dems fault, 60 votes are required, there are only 53 republican senators. Its a clean CR that was passed by the house and needs 60 votes to pass in The Senate. All of the dems voted no to keeping the government open. So how is it that dems didn't shut down The Government, after voting to shut down The Government?

EUR/USD >>> hEAD AND SHOULDERS lower time frame near high of day to resume longer term trend. Worth a look IMHO FYI. It has retraced the "London Session (Fair Value Gap) Fake out" and looking bearish again. GBP/USD ...SAME

"A shutdown means the president is weak" -DJT I agree with that statement 86 47
There is this fifteen second rant from 2013. It doesn't start from the beginning, so just replay (as many times as you like).

I think that I said it in another context, but other people don't need to humiliate Trump, he is well qualified to do it all by himself.

Does that mean that only seven Democrat senators need to be threatened?

Well , threats and violence are not what one builds a democracy on, more like the tools of a dictatorship

Man, this shutdown drama is wild. If it drags on, markets are gonna get shaky for sure. No one likes this kind of uncertainty — could see some weird moves until they sort it out.
