An act of terrorism...

That's how I see it.
Make an unreasonable money demand on a group of people. To get the money, you create a situation where your actions financially affect hundreds of thousands of people until your extortion demands are met...
Hmm... That fits within the definition of terrorism.

Sounds just like Osamacare....perhaps why it has been declared unconstitutional?

cool
Draegoneer, I had ACA for a few years and none of the 'sky is falling' horror stories that were professed happened to me. Some of your cousins were actually angry when I had first hand experience and no complaints. Same doctor with discount pharmacy.

Are you proud of Trump right now?
Good thing you don't have a government job...
But don't worry, Trump publicly stated those government workers are supporting him.
Pffftt... no hardship. Right?
I'm sure your mortgage company would take an IOU, so will your grocer and life insurance company.

Jim says it's extortion...
Trump wants his wall and he doesn't care who gets hurt.
Personally, it's the democrats shut down. They were ready to deal before. they supported every thing obozo and hillary said about the same topic of illegal immigration.

It's not even remotely terrorism as much as the dems still trying to practice tyrannical control. They will eventually be voted out again. The dems will continue their lies of gerrymandering and more when they lose.

This partial shutdown reflects how much the dems DON'T care about the country, it's security, their constituents, or let alone, other citizens.
And they still want the same, you know this to be true, the ONLY difference is the refusal to include a wall that will have no effect whatsoever.
Misleading the public is a trump weapon, that intelligent people fall for his embellishments, mistruths, misquotes and actual lies is baffling to the rest of the world.
dunno
"Personally, it's the democrats shut down"

Didn't you hear T-Rump Wrecks himself claim full responsibility for it, several times? But that was last week or so, and The Amnesia rules America.
Blaming the Democrats is absolutely absurd. He had two years of Republican control of Congress and they still didn't okay it. The problem isn't the Democrats.
the only crisis in USA is a business man

playing president
I'll defer on the side of those on the battlefield...the experts, the Border Patrol. If they say a wall/structure is needed, I'm listening to them.
Congress took an oath 'to protect and defend....(sic) both foreign and domestic'....716 billion was given to the Military to handle foreign threats, with bipartisan approval. Yet Congress/Democrats can't come up with a 5.6 appropriation to protect us domestically? Why, because this one would be a win for Trump....period. You can't change horses when you've already been seen leading the same horse out of the stall....the one you already bought....(the 27 billion one)....period.

This is all politics on both sides, but the demos are adept at crying foul on the American public and the illegals by claiming there is no border crisis, yet they insist children are dying, human rights are being violated, and President Trump is the villain. Demos, you can't have it both ways. Either we have a crisis or we don't, but demos try and use the sword to cut both ways. Its hypocritical.

cool
So what you're saying is it's ok for Democrats to force us to pay for the illegals medical care, housing, education, and murder anyone they please rather then build a wall?
"...murder anyone they please..."

We don't need illegals to do that. Plenty of home grown are in the same category.

prep... don't go off on a tangent.
Illegals receiving medical care, housing and education didn't happen overnight. That's a TOTALLY different issue and putting up a wall won't fix it.
"So what you're saying is it's ok for Democrats to force us to pay for the illegals medical care, housing, education, and murder anyone they please rather then build a wall?"

The Democrats' failure is in ignoring the SOURCE of these tragic migrations.
Oh... and another thing.

Let's say he gets his funding for a wall...
Who do you think gets awarded the contract(s) as in one company, several companies?
Do the Chinese get to bid on building this wall?
How many miles are we talking about... 800 miles? 2,000 miles? 4,000 miles?

What time frame will it take to complete a venture of this magnitude?
Weeks, months? years maybe?

Since Mexico is paying for all this... do we take American Express?
That's a lot of cash back incentives.

Having heard the history of Trump and his business ventures, I'll wager someone connected to Trump is going to directly profit from this. I'm smelling kickbacks in the soup.
Any wagers on this subject?
Ok Chat,
Osamacare is still around because the decision on unconstitutionality is being appealed and more then likely will continue being debated in the federal courts for months if not years. I won't go into details because the arguements for and against require a law degree and Soupy's PHD to fully fathom, it's pretty involved legalese. Suffice it to say premiums and deductibles will continue to increase as more states decline to offer it. Consider yourself fortunate....for now.

cool
The Cato Institute.....is that the same one as in the Pink Panther movies with Peter Sellers......
Caaay....toe!!!.....Lol

cool
Lol....amazing.

So if we're to follow Mr. Xerox's logic, since illegals commit a smaller percentage of crimes compared to citizens of the United States, we should just forget the crimes that they do commit. We shouldn't attempt to prevent those crimes. That's the mentality from the lefties....blind and blissful in their willful ignorance.

cool
As usual, excellent comment Jac. thumbs up
We've, as in past presidents and Congress, have balked on settling this immigration problem for far too long. It's in need of a resolution, so to say it's not a priority is just not being realistic. And this President doesn't dodge problems, he fixes them. This shutdown is Pelosi and Schumer continuing to obstruct President Trump at all costs. He's been shoving his wins in the Democrats face and now that the 'resistance' has a majority in one branch they must continue to try and deny him any more victory or the 2020 race is a done deal for our President. Quite simply, that is the reason for the shutdown....and if you think it's a question of semantics over the need for border security you're showing your naivete, if not your lack of common sense. Quit parroting your leftist talking points and at least admit the real reason is President Trump....its obvious to the American people.


cool
