    Seriously? Using the shutdown to duck meeting a Senator?

    The Dems don't need any face saving. Trump shut it down and he said he'd take responsibility. What this really becomes is the slippery slope to authoritarianism. Manufacture a crisis and then declare emergency powers because you don't have the votes in Congress. It's third world dictator bull****.

    Gee senator murkowski, perhaps you know a few other people in a position of importance in our government that can help end the government shutdown. You might even call them "republican senators"?

    I see we all got the memo, MANUFACTURE. At least you are admitting Trump has brought manufacturing back to America.

    trump is always unwilling to accept responsibility for anything (earlier today: "the buck stops with everyone"), and now he wants to blame President Obama... #pathetic

    That's insane that FDA food inspection personnel is considered non-essential. USDA food safety service (meat products) inspectors are considered essential and not furloughed.
