  1. Beans and rice time? What was she eating before lobster and caviar? ๐Ÿ˜‚

  2. Did you know the Pentagon is the Pentagram?

  3. I wonder if the government still meets up for thier satanic rituals.

  4. It means nothing, after it opens up again, everyone will get that back pay, let's get the boarder closed then work out giving billions for the boarder of another country, idiots.

  5. It means NOTHING to MAIN STREET!

  6. Dead "news" they already passed a shutdown bill. Means NOTHING to me. The checks are electronic. No one signs them. Doesn't matter what the gov. does. It doesn't effect my life. My life isn't reliant on the MICorpratocracy. LOSERS work for the Feds, no sympathy. It's a CHOICE.

  7. Media has correctly predicted 27 of the last 1 government shutdowns.

  8. Meanwhile let's give another 100 billion to ukriane again to just act like we need to do more a year from now

  9. It doesnt mean Anything nobody works in dc anymore anyways actually they never did so there ya go

  10. Most people would go about their business like that government never existed, the rest are democrats.

  11. Maybe if our hard-earned tax dollars went back to American cities and interests instead of funding foreign wars we'd be better off. Stop sending our money overseas.

  12. Extremist Republicans simply don't care otherwise the games they play with the American ppl wouldn't be happening over their leader DJT.

  13. Why is it necessary for Americans to negotiate with their president for their own security? I wouldn't give this fool of a president a red cent until the border is secured.

  14. We don't need you Zinhle, lol

  15. The same thing it always means: NONE of our politicos are worth squat, esp. not the Obstructionist party of fools, the GOP

  16. This is ridiculous
    What about the fact that over one third of the people die before they receive their first disability check . Their families are hit hard for this .

  17. Children are playing video games in Washington DC

  18. No one should get paid. Shut it down

  19. If I dont do my job, I get fired…. Congress doesnt do theirs? Nothing….. Probably a hidden pay raise in a bill somewhere.

  20. Government shutdown threat is just political blackmail

  21. Every few weeks: what it REALLY means

  22. They should not receive pay while shut down. I don't get paid for my days off neither should they.

  23. Well after police brutality they lost the kid.. kids hates them forever…

  24. It means once the personal monetary gains are met, the shutdown will end
