Three weeks into a federal government shut down
this has had zero impact on my life🤣
I say keep it shut down another six weeks.

The dems gambled on it causing chaos. It's only causing chaos for their base of government employees and welfare recipients.
-
sounds like it’s pretty rough if you’re a lifetime government bureaucrat.
oh no -
The longer the shutdown goes, the more people realize how little they need government.
It's all a show to drive fear in an attempt to make the masses think we need them.
The federal government has a short list of constitutional duties, everything else is usurpation and invasion into our personal lives.

Unlike a Democrat Trump isn’t punishing Americans during the shut down
Pay the troops
-
I notice our resident leftist don't have time to post since the shut down...
-
Yup.... big difference.... all the national parks are still open
-
Congress is shut down
in Case you hadn’t noticed.
Neither had I. 😂
-
Dems are getting more and more desperate. I'm enjoying watching their flailing to find a narrative to attack with.
-
Did democracy survive another day of Trump and gubmint shutdown?
-
They accomplish the same amount of work either way.

Things are running fine in Idaho.

Here's an email message I received today:
Federal Judiciary Limited Operations Beginning October 20
The federal judiciary nationally has exhausted all available non-appropriated and no-year funds and will move into a non-paid status effective Monday, October 20, because Congress has not passed a continuing resolution or appropriations bill to fund the Third Branch of government. We are required to abide by the terms of the Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. §§ 1341, et seq. We apologize for any inconvenience to you and to your clients.
The district court will continue to hear and decide cases. The clerk’s office will accept and timely process all civil and criminal filings, continue regular administration of the jury and grand jury system (including payment of petit and grand jurors), and will collect and deposit fees and costs into the Treasury. The clerk’s office will also process registry fund transactions and restitution disbursements. Court reporters will continue to transcribe proceedings and produce transcripts.
Court security services, including security screening at all courthouses, will continue as usual.
Staff will generally not be available to respond to inquiries that are not related to case administration. Attorney admission work will continue, but certificates of good standing will not be issued. Oaths will be administered, but no new ceremonial events, tours, or training will be scheduled. The court’s website will not be updated unless necessitated by an emergency. The clerk’s office will not be able to issue Pay.gov refunds. IT staff will keep the judiciary’s systems functioning and perform work necessary to protect the systems against cyberattacks. IT staff will also provide courtroom assistance to ensure that all audio-visual equipment functions normally. Attorney wi-fi services in the courtrooms, which are funded with non-appropriated funds, will still be available. IT staff will not be able to troubleshoot or help with CM/ECF problems that are related to an external user’s IT system.
CJA attorneys have not been paid or received expense reimbursements since July, but CJA vouchers have been audited and are in line for payment at the earliest opportunity. As of October 20, CJA attorneys should continue to submit vouchers for payment; however, the new vouchers cannot be reviewed or audited until the judiciary is funded. The vouchers will be maintained in order of receipt for immediate review and will be given priority once the judiciary receives funding.
Contractors have been notified of our inability to pay. In the context of case administration, this could impact an interpreter’s willingness to work in federal court. We have one staff interpreter in the district, and we can also use telephonic interpreting services for some proceedings.
With rare exception (for example, due to a life safety issue), we will not be able to obligate funds for repairs and alterations of our courtrooms or courthouses. Projects that were obligated in a previous fiscal year will proceed.
Staff will not be paid for the duration of the shutdown and will, therefore, not be expected to respond to after-hours or weekend inquiries or requests. Any calls or messages received after 4:30 p.m. will have to wait until the following business day for a response.
Thanks for your patience and understanding as we navigate this unfortunate situation.
Thank you,
Karen Mitchell
Clerk of Court

Northern District of TexasI was told it's important to prosecute Daddy's political enemies. But apparently not that important. Nothing anyone should have to pay for certainly.

didn’t read a single words

one of your most meaningful poasts to date

At least I’ve donated to the site twice $50x2 in less than a year after joining 2 weeks after the glorious election last November.
No way Buck works at Amazon. Cuck, AOG and DucksFS are obviously government workers. It’s great they have been MIA!
-
Some people require acknowledgment of their good works.
Some behave more biblically.
I would never judge.
Of course.
-
@MelloDawg must be furloughed with nothing else to do.
H finally shows his face, won't be long until he shows his ass and dissappears again.

The left has shutdown the government. Not the right. We will no longer pay for commercial news outlets or transgender sex changes in foreign countries and all the other 1.5 trillion worth of insanity in their demand or else letter,
-
The girls say it doesn’t matter that it’s shut down. You missed their point. Not unusual.
-
Thinking about sending Schumer a little donation for his good work of shutting down the government.
-
You just want more trannies.
-
And here's Mall Cop's surrender.
-
.*more fag
-
I never surrender Marge. You're wrong as always. So who's holding up the funding Suzy? This is jsut a continuing resolution. Strictly to keep the government open.
Explain the 1.5 trillion ransom for faggotry and foreign countries. I'll wait.
-
The girls here say it's all for the best.
You need to get with the program, Sludge.
-
I'm not like you. I like girls.
-
Keep trying to convince yourself.
Your predilections are the least of your issues.

Gladys thinks an 80% cut in nuclear weapons secuirty is a nothing burger.
-
I should write my Dem appointed congressman and tell him to support the shutdown 😂
-
just a friendly check in to see if H is doing OK
