Can we get a muthafuckin citation up in this bitch?

Well you know, when being violated the government has a way of shutting itself down.

I don’t want to be the know-it-all, but it’s both parties. It’s about compromise.
thedissident
Not a Trump fan, but it isn’t his fault. He can be part of the process but ultimately it’s up to the people voting.
DrSharkbite
AheagoAmigo
Trump's name is on 500+ businesses, he filed chapter 11 bankruptcy on like 4 or 5 of them. That's still a vast majority open & functioning.

I think you all forgot the government shut down for 17 days while Obama was in office.
Sumdumguy42
Remind me again who had the majority in both houses at that time?
thatsbadmmkay
I dont think anyone forgot that. Its just that this is happening now so its topical.
THISISYELLING
No one is forgetting that. Which party was responsible? Which, then private citizen, tweeted it was the president’s fault?
CamelSpotter
It's almost as if a Republican controlled Senate is utterly incompetent at their own job.
AmericanAdvocate
You sir, deserve ALL the updoots
discotheque42
Congress, people. Congress.
AheagoAmigo
Imgur sees Trump and their collective REEEE's can be heard only by dogs, bats and dolphins
NoItsTheChildrenWhoAreWrong
MadMupp
Is it the first time its ever happened?
HereIGoLurkingAgain
Not here to argue unintelligibly over who/what is to blame.
CamelSpotter
Just blame the entire Senate. Forgo the partisan divide and make them share the blame as a whole.
HolmesHolmes
This happened under Obama. Yes, everyone's savior shut the government down also.
THISISYELLING
He did? I thought it was the GOP then too? Citations?
CamelSpotter
Neither president is to blame for the shutdowns, the Senate is. Trump was just dumb enough to claim he could prevent one via negotiations.
HolmesHolmes
Either way. People blame Trump for a lot of shit and paint Obama as the fucking man. In my book they're equal parts pieces of shit.
CamelSpotter
I wouldn't say that they're equal by any standard. Trump severely lacks any tact that is required for a diplomat. He makes us look bad.
HolmesHolmes
I agree with that. But I'd rather him be open and honest so I know his true colors. Rather than keeping it hidden.
CamelSpotter
I see what you're getting at, but that is not at all a trait you want in a diplomat. Trump single-handedly pissed off several world leaders.
hstryfreak
ZackPageWood
Yes, who to blame? The party that holds the lives of millions of children hostage, or the other one?
CamelSpotter
Yeah. How dare the Democrats have a sense or morality towards the people who live in this country.
CaptCounterCulture
Republicans want it too, they just don't want to give up their leverage. Politics are gross
PortoFoodBeast
MadCat221
So it's the Democrats' fault for not wanting to be party to the harmful xenophobic nativist policies that Trump wants?
hstryfreak
All three sides (Dems, Repubs, and Trump) all have points they know the others won’t accept and are each unwilling to do the ol give & take.
PortoFoodBeast
Look my guy, I cannot tell you all my shit but Dems and Reps have both disappointed me in almost everyway. We fucked and I aint got time.
notasanonymousasimighthope
60% of his business ventures failed in conservative estimates.
icounttopotato
Thomas Edison failed over 100x before he had a working lightbulb, failure is how you learn and get better.
ClearBlue
What does that have to do with a temporary shutdown because Congress can’t reach a consensus?
AheagoAmigo
I didn't know 4 bankruptcies out of 500 businesses was 60%...guess I need to learn [CURRENT YEAR] math.
AheagoAmigo
And yes I know he has had other businesses that didn't work but I see people focus on the bankruptcies as the end all be all of his work
SuperIncoherentRantingMan
Or maybe do some better research. He's had many businesses fail that weren't bankruptcies. You just want to ignore all those?
AheagoAmigo
Yes but despite these (and your obviously butt hurt feelings) he is/was a successful businessman.
SuperIncoherentRantingMan
Most of his fortune comes from just licensing his name, and now that is failing. How is that being a good business man?
jmulderr
Finally, a president who keeps his campaign promises. Government failing as hard as his business ventures did.
AheagoAmigo
4 of 500+ filed bankruptcy, not much of a failure unless you are a Japanese child bringing home a test of 500 questions with 4 missed
Scaramucci
Some of his failed businesses: Trump University, Trump Steaks, Trump Airlines, Trump Mortgage, Trump Magazine, Trump Casinos, Trump Vodka...
jmulderr
That doesn't sound so bad. Unless you have heard of debt restructuring and know that many failures get rolled into each bankruptcy.
AheagoAmigo
Despite those (and your obvious TDS) he is, was & will still be a successful businessman. But it's fine, imgur sees Trump and goes full REEE
jmulderr
It is possible in business to end up with a lot of money despite mostly failing. The fact that he is rich != good businessman.

DemoRats in the Senate care about criminals more than American Citizens and our military
whoknowswhoitis
Are you saying the DACA Dreamers are all criminals?
CamelSpotter
Fuck off. The dreamers were brought here as kids and only know this country as their home. Many are already educated/trained.
CamelSpotter
It would be a complete waste of resources to kick out those who we already spent money to educate and who joined the workforce.
CamelSpotter
Not to mention that they gave up their information to the government freely, exposing themselves in the hopes of becoming true citizens.
CamelSpotter
I can understand wanting to deport border jumpers, but kicking out the dreamers is simply pointless and stupid.
Riptide00
To be fair, it's not Trump's fault until a bill hits his desk that he refuses to sign. Congress fell down on their responsibilities. Again.
ImFunnierThanYallGiveMeCreditFor
Birdman2112
SirLyonhart
Trump says he won't sign a bill that doesn't fund the wall. McConnell won't agree to a bill that Trump won't sign. Yep, Dem's fault.
CaptCounterCulture
He also said he would pass anything that passed over his desk, that was about 2 weeks ago. His base wasn't happy
SirLyonhart
He assured them he never said that, I'm sure.
Riptide00
I didn't blame the Dems, either. It's up to those who currently control Congress to put forth a bill that can get enough votes.
SirLyonhart
When you break it down, it's really all our faults for putting those specific guys in charge. Why do we keep shooting ourselves in the foot?
Roland191145
We are too lazy. No one pays attention to primaries, too many vote straight party line (both D&R), too many don't vote at all, ect.
Riptide00
We hate to admit we're wrong. So when we look at Congress and say they're all terrible we mentally don't include the guy/gal we voted for.
SirLyonhart
I'm not a millionaire or upper level executive, so when I vote for the ones that represent me they don't win.
Eddyrock
He bankrupted everything else he ran so why are we surprised he’s doing it to the government too
100PercentLatex
Oh but wait! He’s actually doing the opposite! Now before calling me a liar do a little research on the American economy and stock market
biolologist
What do you think the stock market is?
travisallenp31415
Please pass a civics exam before commenting something stupid like this.
13thMortamer
You mean people dont realize governments are shit at managing money are insanely in debt yet still trust the system? Shocking.
liop7HitFlyer
You don't need to pass any exam to see the history with his past companies he's ran into the ground.
AheagoAmigo
Owns 500+ businesses, yet filing chapter 11 bankruptcy on like 4 or 5 is somehow "failing everything".
SuperIncoherentRantingMan
Don't forget the wine, vodka, steaks, university, casinos, airlines, bottled water, & mortgages. But sure, keep ignoring the facts.
alien86513
Tell me how a billionaire bankrupted ALL his businesses? Sauce?
liop7HitFlyer
He's a billionaire? When did he release his tax records?? Oh yeah..that's right..he never did.
ScreechingMedic
he's had 4 bankruptcies and is clearly no business genius considering his other business/marketing failures
IWishPeopleWouldStopStealingMyUsernames
6 bankruptcies technically. He's terrible at business - he just inherited a shit-ton of money and a property empire from his dad.
icounttopotato
He has over 500 businesses over 22,000 employees and went from millionaire to billionaire. He has only had 5-6 failures, that’s huge success
icounttopotato
Fact is he is more successful businessman than most ever could be, at 71 he was putting in 19 hour days during campaign, recognize.
ScreechingMedic
He was not putting that many hours every day. He can't even do that as President now. Tweeting, watching TV, and golfing don't count as work
ScreechingMedic
He's had 5-6 bankruptcies, but a lot more business failures than that that don't count as bankruptcies. As for millionaire to billionaire1/2
ScreechingMedic
research shows that if he had put his inheritance in a hedge fund, he would have more than what he has now. Which means he's lost money 2/2
