1. There have been mass firings with the government open.

And the firings will happen either way. It's timing is just so they can use it to bludgeon Democrats over the shutdown.

2. Correct.

Welcome to DU.

3. If you give in to a bully, the bully will come for more.

The only thing to do is to fight the bully. In doing so, we will be hurt. But it's the only way.

4. Won't the courts shut down too?

That's one of the few guardrails still somewhat functioning, despite the corrupt supremes.

5. We can either get screwed standing up or we can get screwed lying down.

When you deal with the devil, you always get screwed.

His promises are no good, his assurances are no good, his deals are no good.

There is no point in "dealing" with someone who hates you, has no conscience, and has made it his life goal to hurt you.

We should be screwing with this malignant entity at every turn, every opportunity.

Let us be the ones who are petty and unreasonable for a change.

6. He has alredy refused

to meet with Schumer and Jeffries.
He's the one responsible.
It's up to the Democrats to remind people of that and, of course, that he reappropiated funds to his own purposes that Congress had earmarked for other purposes.

Point out the f'king ballroom and Rose Garden fiascos that only serve to support his insanity.

7. Will little Stevie be one of the layoffs? If so, shut it down!
