This is so disgusting, I don't know when the American people are going to have had enough of this childishness...so many innocent people affected and they don't give a flying SHIT!
And for absolutely NOTHING...Obamacare started today, just like they knew it would...but so much else DIDN'T. Totally insane.
My stepson lives out Jackson Hole way, does a lot of hiking in Yellowstone. His vacation starts today, he can't even go hiking 'cuz Yellowstone is closed. People have to reserve visits to Yosemite over a YEAR in advance, but of course Yosemite's closed. Over five THOUSAND tourists a day go out to The Rock, but Alcatraz is closed and since most people buy their tickets on line, they're not sure how to get their money back...and those are just the UNIMPORTANT, recreational aspects...
Makes me sick. They'll have to throw in the towel, even they know it, it's just a matter of how long they want to fuck us all over before they do, so they can make their "statement". Absolutely unconscionable. "Representatives" my fucking ASS!

I choose to interpret this as what does shut down mean to me. In answer:
I think... All of us should have a barbeque.
You can put corn still in the husk on a grill. Give it five minutes, turning over occasionally, and then you have some tasty corn that has the subtle smokey flavour of the outdoors and charcoal.
All the meat eaters can just go to TOWN. Have some fun, get sauce everywhere, delicious carmelized sauce on once living protein. And then hamburger buns.
Drinkers can get the hootch up ins. Apple cider will be provided for the non-drinkers.
And then, as we eat and make merry, we can envision that we are munching on, slicing and serving up, the party system and laws we don't like.
That's what I think.

You do realize of course that the government shutdown didn't affect NSA surveillance. And that anything we post here is preserved by various means/waybackmachines and etc.
Thanks for painting me with that brush when all I'm saying is that if Occupy Wall Street wants to do something peacefully, maybe they should try Occupy Freaking Congress. This is a golden opportunity to affect change you know.
I seem to remember people being impressed with the crowd support when some lady in Texas did a fillibuster not too long ago. The public as a whole CAN make a difference, and not only on voting day.
But no, I guess I'm just another dangerous idiot with an itchy finger and a lead thrower fetish just because I'm not having panic attacks about what's happening.

You'll have to cite where they SAID "Screw you, Obama" to be taken seriously, because I doubt that's what happened. Obama didn't shut down the government; the Republicans' refusal to pass a budget did. Nobody else is refusing to pass the budget, and the LAW required the government to shut down if they didn't pass one. Obama hasn't got a damned thing to do with it, it's Congress and the Senate, you poor addled fool.
While the Republicans sending up a budget the Democrats will not agree with may defund the government, it's the Executive branch that decides what government functions are essential, and what will be cut. As usual, these cuts are the ones that will get the most publicity. Don't think that the Republicans are the only ones playing politics here.

Wouldn't it be just a hoot if Ted Cruz's house gets bombed and the FBI aren't available to investigate......
Or the WWII vets beat the shit out of Michele Bachmann with their canes, now that would be funny.

I dislike Democrats too, but they didn't engineer this hostile takeover attempt.

Didn't say they did.
However, they're playing it for all its worth - shutting down the parts of government that will have the most visible impact and garner the most news reports.
C'mon, Chris. You know that the Democrats wanted this shutdown as much as the Tea Partiers.

Actually, I don't. Y'all do.
The order to barricade the WW 2 Memorial came down to the US Parks Service from the Office of Management and Budget. They get their orders directly from where ?
Congress ? Nope
The White House.
This is entirely Obama's doing.
( Same goes for shutting down the WH, and giving the sequestration as an excuse )
At no other time in the 17 Govt shut downs ( or slim downs, as Andrea Taranto calls 'em ) have any open air memorials been blocked or closed off.
There ARE no working staff at these facilities, and they are to remain open 24/7.
it's actually costing the govt MORE money to rent barricades and staff guards on these locations, which ordinarily run on next to no staff, save for maintenance.
Deal w/ the facts

Why would that be a " hoot ", if a US Senator's home got bombed ? Would you laugh as much if Obama's, or Harry Reid's house were bombed ? Oh, not so much a " hoot " then, is it ?
Either way, the appropriate law enforcement resources would still be on the case. Your lack of understanding on such matters is embarrassing.

Michelle Bachmann is one of the Senators fighting for their right to VISIT the W W 2 Memorial in the first place. Were it not for her, and others, they'd have traveled across the country only to be turned away at THEIR Memorial. Turned away by Barrack Hussein Obama, and no one else.

None of which has anything to do with the issue at hand, which is passing the budget, which is what caused anything to be shut down. That's been engineered for months by the Republicans, despite Rap's complete unwillingness to read.
WHAT is shut down isn't the issue; that anything HAD to be shut down is. And it was Rap would was adamant just a little while ago that the Republicans WOULD NOT shut it down. Wanna get back to that one?

God dammit Niki, it has EVERY thing to do w/ the issue at hand. You're ignoring my post, what i said, and the FACT that Obama himself is doing all this, just to make the shut down as painful as possible.
HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE VETERANS ! It was Michelle and others who are keeping the WW2 Memorial OPEN for the Vets, and trying to remove the barricades OBAMA HIS OWN DAMN SELF PUT THERE!
WAKE THE FUCK UP!
And its Obama who is doing this. Entirely. The GOP has passed a budget. That's what Congress does. Obama refuses to even meet with them to discuss the issue. He's a thug and a punk and a rank amateur.

Learn to read, Niki.
Thread title : " So what's shut down for you ? "
The GOP has NOT shut down anything. Nothing to get back to. But thanks for playing.
