Now I am pissed ...
 

The currently unpaid military personnel serving overseas will not even
be able to watch tomorrow's NFL playoff games.

The Armed Forces Network that supplies the feed to military bases
world-wide is not operating due to the shutdown.

But, all the members of Congress continue to receive full pay and
benefits, of course.

Now I am pissed ...

Gosh, without the NFL on the AFN, they'll have to watch the game at a
bar or on a computer or maybe they'll watch something intellectually
stimulating.

So ignorant you are of military service, especially overseas duty or on
ships at sea.

Go back to sleep.

I can't get excited about military personnel missing a broadcast
football game while 800,000+ decent young people are facing deportation
because of your president's hatred and racism, and 8 million children
are facing cutoff of their access to health services because your
political party wants to use them as political hostages.

Your president and your party needed 60 votes to continue funding of the
government, and you and your party had 50 in the bag, but you couldn't
even get the 50. And five Dems voted for the GOP proposal. And your
president and party wouldn't agree to passing DACA and CHIPs.

You are part of a political party that cannot govern.

Poor baby soldiers...missing a football game. How awful.

Now I am pissed ...

We didn't have any of that stuff in the USCG. We were totally off the
grid for about 5 weeks at a time. That was how I was able to do all of
those correspondence courses ;-)
We did have an ongoing hearts game for a penny a point. It paid for my
liberty after my Bravo cruise.

Now I am pissed ...

That is just ridiculous. The political hacks in DC will do anything to
screw the constituents to get their way and the USCS assholes will go
along.
It is one more reason why we should be privatizing a lot more of this
stuff.
There is a little bird sanctuary here in Sanibel and they shut that
down, in spite of the fact that there are enough volunteers to run the
place here now. Most of the volunteers have been there longer and are
more qualified than the GS-5 "rangers" anyway. They still have the
security staff working and emergency services come from the Sanibel
Fire Department.
They security staff are "essential" to insure nobody can sneak in and
look at the birds without the help of the government.

Now I am pissed ...

If the votes for DACA were there, we would have it by now.
Now you are trying to get it in with extortion.
Personally I don't really care either way. The whole immigration
process is flawed.
If I was writing the bill it would be a merit program where the
productive and promising dreamers would be in and the gangsters and
dropouts would be out but that is profiling I guess.
That cop killer in California would be deported on a Huey. Just take
him out past the 12 mile limit in the Pacific and deport his ass from
about 1000 feet.

Now I am pissed ...

Trump and the GOP have repeatedly stated that they favor DACA and want
to work with Dems to resolve the issue. How many times must people like
you have to hear that?

I have absolutely no doubts about the sincerity of people like Nancy
Pelosi and Chuck Schumer as they lead your party towards accomplishing
it's goals. Those goals are winning control of the House and the Senate
this year and the White House in 2020 if not sooner.

That's all this is about. Nothing else. DACA will be resolved.
