It's easier to break it than to fix it

LOL... try again... they're funded

Only non-essential services will be affected.

Thank you, Chuck Schumer

Wasn’t Schumer also declared non-essential?

They're funded, but they can't get new orders.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/government-shutdown-2025-air-travel-social-security-impact-rcna234594 elaborates:

"However, no new orders may be issued except for extenuating circumstances — such as disaster response or national security. Some National Guard members serving through federal funding could have their orders terminated unless performing an essential duty."

A wonderful time not to have alienated most of our senior military officers . . . .

"except for extenuating circumstances"... oops

LOL

Well, who gets to call those, and what do they cover, and is Trump about to cost the US taxpayers another ten million in legal fees?

Food for thought: https://thefulcrum.us/rule-of-law/trump-lawsuits-costs-2025

You can thank dems for those fees... LOL

Sorry, I'll point the finger at the extralegal moves Trump's government is making.

Sorry... I'll point the finger at all the frivolous lawsuits brought by triggered dems. They own that, just like they own this shutdown.

I'm sure that keeps you warm at night.

What's that word for mandatory, unpaid labor? Don't tell me... it's on the tip of my tongue... it's... something something... starts with "S"... Oh right, "slavery"... that's slavery.

I’ve always wondered about your username…
Finally figured it out.
All your memes are lies.

I'm flattered that you spent so much attention on my SN, but don't be insulting.

I believe that this is the very first time I have ever commented to you. Your flattery is premature…
What’s a “SN”?
Not an insult, an observation.

You are merry indeed.
