Could some democrat please take Pelosi aside

Can we get back to the topic of this thread--------------------why Pelosi OWNS the gov shutdown because she refuses to compromise or give an inch.

“I am proud to shut down the government for border security. … I will take the mantle,” Trump said. “I will be the one to shut it down.”

100% wrong

He went to meet with them, they were there to negotiate. He demanded the wall, (that's not negotiating), they said no, and he walked out.

That's the opposite of being 'willing to negotiate.'

We are currently about to be in a position where we will be in need of home health care aide services due to the fact that my disabled Navy veteran wife is sick again, AND my son is also at UCLA Hospital with a pretty severe case of congestive heart failure.
Being that it's a two hour drive to UCLA sometimes, and being that my wife's mobility may not be possible sometimes while our son is so ill, we will need that kind of services, which are contracted out by the government to private companies.

But I guess we shouldn't mind if my son becomes critical and we can't make it to the hospital. He can just die alone, no problem.

Think I am joking? I'm not, I assure you. I thought about keeping this to myself but screw it, people need to see the stupidity of shutting down the government firsthand.

We might not be able to get the kind of help we need, which the VA is happy to cover, if there isn't any way to pay the needed contract personnel.

From what I have witnessed the last couple of days, Democrats have been coming forth and said Trump's proposal is something there should be debate over because it has so much of what they have wanted. Also the Washington Post of all publications had an article yesterday that encouraged Democrats to take the deal. So we shall see.

That's really an insult to a fine movie.

But Republicans will be looking up from the flat of their backs with no wall filling their view. :lol:
