President stompy foot is at it again


Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- The government shutdown is being felt close to home for some locals. They say they're being forced out of private homes on Lake Mead because they sit on federal land.

Joyce Spencer is 77-years-old and her husband Ralph is 80. They've been spending most of their time in the family ice cream store since going home isn't an option.The
Spencers never expected to be forced out of their Lake Mead home, which they've owned since the 70s, but on Thursday, a park ranger said they had 24 hours to get out.

and they were not the only ones

As the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports, some 60 families were given notice:
He’s one of an estimated 60 families with vacation homes along the lake who were given notice by the National Park Service earlier this week to gather their stuff and leave, according to Christie Vanover, a spokeswoman for the Lake Mead Recreational Area.

doesn't the White House also sit on federal land? so when is the Obamas going to be told they have 24 hours to leave

"President Stompy Foot" :lol: :lol:
 
This is insane....forcing people out of THEIR property because of the Democrats shut down of government.

They barricaded a private Inn in VA from doing business, they barricaded Mt. Vernon, a privately owned property now they are kicking seniors out into the street....WTF.

I am so glad to see that most of the people in the US arent falling for the ole...its the Republicans fault....thanks to the internet people are seeing the truth...its the friggin Democrats creating all this BS.
 
Of course, the story reads:

'The Lake Mead properties are considered vacation homes; one of the lease requirements to own a plot is people must have an alternative residence.'


But why let stuff like that get in the way of a fun burst of outrage? John Boner could fix this today with a simple vote. But he won't because he wants something....anything.

The Speaker of the House wants two fairly simply understood things, two things that, it is quite apparent, the president and the senate majority leader do not want:

Toss Obamacare
End the Shutdown

DEMOCRATS BARRY HUSSEIN OBAMA AND HARRY REID could end this in mere nanoseconds if they were reasonable...but no, there are sticking in there, sticking it to the American people and attempting, but failing, to stick these piles of fertilizer
:hitsfan:
on the Republicans...

Not one of the boob's better well laid plans...:hitsfan:

He who laughs first vs he who laughs last...

Federal shutdown procedures aren't just made up as you go.

Actually, he doesn't seem to want that anymore. His first demand was that, second demand was a one year delay and now he's down to removing a medical device tax. Sooner or later he will settle for a strongly worded letter.

What Boner is trying to do is get legislation through that he can't do thru normal means.

He's down to just that now? Source?

your right im sure Berry had this planed a week in advance when he decided to shut down the government

If only we had a wise leader who would do something for the people instead of only his party.

What makes you say that? I hear the FEMA workers were called back because the wind blew on the Gulf Coast.

Can you cite the shutdown book of rules?
 
Allow the vote and let people get back to work.

Boehner, it is in your hands.

No, I mean they've been around since before the man even got into politics. Some of the relevant laws passed like a freaking century ago.

It's funny how the right-wing opinions here seem to mirror Fox News so perfectly. First day it was "no big deal! I barely notice the shutdown!" Now it's "OMG deliberately making it hurtful!"

You seem little informed as to how government actually functions...

Be that as it may, if the Speaker is down to so little, as you so describe it, what is holding up the boob in chief eh? Wants to stick around a bit longer, inflict a bit more pain on an already hurting public, suffering from almost 5 years of his debilitating, enervating-- suck all the oxygen from the room--- "leader"ship?

We better hope the Speaker sticks to his guns unless we want a collapse as has never been seen here.

Wow, ever notice how floods start as tiny raindrops that keep building until...

Come on man, you gotta be able to put up better stuff than that...

And you are saying that laws on barricading people from visiting the WW2 monument maybe were made even prior to us fighting in and winning WW2?

Puh-leeeeezeeee

You seem to be uninformed as how negotiations function. The GOP is caving. They apparently haven't realized it yet. Why negotiate with a hostage taker when he's crumbling?

This is a House/Senate fight, with Obama the backstop that will not allow the irrational demands of the GOP stand.

No, but procedures for which types of services remain functional and which do not have been around for ages. It's really not that difficult of a concept.
That memorial was required by law to be shut down. Congress has not authorized its operation at this time.

Uh, where are you getting your information on the House caving...???

You, per usual, seem way out in the outfield and this game is more of a pitcher batter catcher styled match up, with the crowds in the stands first beginning to notice, then seeing all the bad calls made by the declared umps [ biased mainstream media who try to appear evenhanded, ha! ] and now catching on to the real game being played, the fact that crowds have been played.

Now overplayed.

So, you are saying that the park police are under the supervision of the legislative branch that makes the laws, not by the executive branch that carries out the laws?

I am also sure you are aware it would take more effort, probably higher cost as well, to put up barricades and police a monument than to just police an open monument, right.

You must be cognizant enough to recognize that this is being done to make the shutdown hurt and was an attempt to blame the Republicans... even if you don't most the rest of us out here with brains do understand that very well.

Do me a favor and see if previous administrations pulled the same kind of stunts that this one is...my impression is that the templates for the former, and many, shutdowns did not include this petty manure being piled up by this administration. But prove me wrong, I am interested in the truth only...so go for it.

You means like signing a law that will allow millions to get health insurance they never could get before?

Defending people from stuff they didn't do is quite easy.

That would be forcing people to buy insurance wether they want it or not if you want to be accurate.

And the leglislation he is trying to counter was put there through non normal means.

It was put through by legal means. It's the law. And repealing law has a very clear precedent. Holding the economy hostage isn't it.

One day, the tables will be reversed and the Dem House will threaten the GOP with gun control legislation vs default. You'll be howling then.

This crap needs to stop. Now. And the only way is for the Dems to stand up to terrorism.
