For sure. The most obvious way to stop the shutdown is for those working without pay to just stop showing up for work.

But yet 90% of the TSA is continuing to work for free for some reason. Like... why? They’re not goi g to fire like 40% of the TSA. It will just prolong their problem.

Problem solving and critical thinking skills in this country dont exist

The Commerce Department’s federal credit union is charging furloughed employees almost 9 percent interest on emergency loans to cover their missing paychecks, despite Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross saying Thursday that financial institutions were offering “very, very low-interest-rate loans to bridge people over the gap.”

“During the Government Shutdown we’re here to help our members and non-member employees of the Department of Commerce & NOAA and its affiliates, the Executive Office of the President and the White House Management and Administration Offices,” the credit union’s website says.

Emergency loans of up to $5,000 are available for furloughed employees with repayment terms of up to two years, the site says. Two loan officers reached at the credit union’s telephone number confirmed the terms, which include interest rates “as low as 8.99 percent

.”

MORE PROOF KARA DOESN'T WANT YOU TO SEE

Quote

Talk-show host Meghan McCain called Trump and Ocasio-Cortez “two sides of the same coin” and said the liberal, Latina bomb thrower from the Bronx was “just like Trump on Twitter.”

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said he, too, sees obvious parallels between DJT and AOC.

“Whether it’s President Trump or AOC, it’s all based on ginning up anger and fear and it's unfortunate,” Kinzinger, a frequent cable news presence who has a relatively paltry 46,500 Twitter followers compared to Ocasio-Cortez’s 2.6 million, told The Hill.

“And I think it's that kind of stuff that's killing our ability to get done things like solve the government shutdown. … If you look at Twitter, not everyone is on Twitter, but all the loudest voices are,” he said.

A senior GOP source observing Ocasio-Cortez on Capitol Hill put it more bluntly: “They are the same f---ing person. Think about it.”

“She’s about the extremes of her party: free college, free health care, jobs for all. Trump is about being tough on borders and pro-life policies,” the source said. “They are the bases of their parties and the loudest voices of their parties.”

Quote

Other Democratic critics privately say they’re just sick of being asked about her and talking about her, just as much as they’re sick of Trump. They see her as a media celebrity like Trump, who won his first political office with no experience in policymaking or governing.

“It’s a very fair comparison,” said one Democratic lawmaker, who is no fan of either Trump or Ocasio-Cortez. “Some in [the media] are doing a disservice because you’ve lifted her to such heighty lofts. Here’s someone who’s never been in a legislative position or an executive position — that’s going to cause her to fall. She’s 29 years old and has no concept of what being an effective legislator is all about."

“Let’s see who she gravitates to for president. Hopefully, she’ll want to run herself and get her ass out of here,” the lawmaker said just off the House floor.

Quote

Last week, Ocasio-Cortez engaged in a Twitter fight with National Journal politics editor Josh Kraushaar‏ after she criticized CBS News for the diversity of its 2020 campaign team. Kraushaar replied: “Another thing AOC has in common with Trump: media scold.”

Roger Stone, a longtime aide and confidant of President Donald Trump, has been indicted for allegations he lied to and obstructed the House Intelligence Committee's investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

The seven-count indictment suggests Stone misled lawmakers on the committee about his efforts to communicate with Wikileaks and his contacts with the Trump campaign. It also alleges he attempted to intimidate another witness: radio host Randy Credico, who was in contact with Wikileaks head Julian Assange in 2016.

Special counsel Robert Mueller's office said Stone was arrested Friday morning and will make an appearance later in the day at the federal courthouse in Fort Lauderdale.

The Koch political network has informed allies and donors that they will not support President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign in 2020, according to a report from The Washington Post.

The report states that Charles and David Koch have spent the last few months indicating to donors that they will not support Trump’s re-election bid, and instead will remain neutral during the 2020 presidential race.

Koch spokesman James Davis told The Washington Post that the Koch network still plans to make a “significant investment to support policy champions in Senate, House and state races, build broad-based policy coalitions, and to launch a major new initiative to fight poverty in America.”

“This is where we can make the biggest difference for millions of Americans,” Davis said.

Nah the best part will be the extended single camera scene when Trump has a heart attack on the toilet and crawls his way to the emergency button but can't reach it.

I had a nasty audit that's on indefinite hold thanks to the president being 5 years old.

No one will care, but the Republicans realized last year that they massively changed the Internal Revenue Code after years of underfunding the IRS so they went, "Oh crap," and increased the Service's budget but only to implement their dumb tax law and now that it's game time you can't even fax in paperwork.

It's almost as funny as when they probably made it unlawful to deduct business meals in addition to entertainment and the IRS had to release temporary guidance that said, "Yeah, under the text of the law it's probably forbidden to deduct the cost of business meals but we're going to allow it anyway because clearly that was not intended." Very Marbury v. Madison. The rule of law is very important!
