Visiting the boy and DIL before he gets deployed to a new assignment next year.

Can we all agree that the Smithsonian will always be funded and let’s get those reopened?

How about we just shut down the stuff we are actually arguing over?

But some guy in Prairieville said it doesn't affect him at all and he doesn't care if the government ever opens again

I was able to visit Fort Sumter in Charleston earlier last month due to the ferry company providing funding for a month.

But yea the national parks and museums not being open does suck.

I visited Congaree NP and there were no rangers or visitor center open which did suck also.

Our government sucks. Hence the shutdown. Sorry you didn’t see a museum.

Conservative white men who have federal jobs have to be severely disenfranchised.

Liberals think they’re direct descendants of Columbus who have never accomplished anything without standing over minorities, and conservatives think they are a useless bureaucratic paper stamping waste of taxpayer dollars.

You guys are fricking batshit, you know that?

He’s visiting his son about to deploy, and he’s disappointed he can’t visit a museum because of the shutdown. But yeah, that makes his son a homosexual who uses a gay hookup app.

Your attitude does more harm than good.

During the 2013 shutdown, Obama put up barriers at all the outdoor monuments in DC so you couldn’t walk up to them.

I would consider the dude coming onto tigerdroppings to cry about a museum being closed as bat shite.

No one gives a frick.

Oh look at me!

Not really. And not noticing is a badge of honor.

Last time I was up there the best and most moving thing was the Lincoln Memorial which is open. The National Cathedral is good to see also, even though it’s been taken over by pagans.

Sounds like the democrats need to get off their asses and up to the table. Their unwillingness to negotiate in good faith is what's holding it up.

Blame them OP, not us
