President Donald Trump once again
unleashed what’s become his presidential hallmark: a bizarre, winding,
threatening press conference, this time following his White House
meeting with Democratic leaders Friday to try to break the impasse
causing the government shutdown.
In a long, meandering briefing
in the Rose Garden, Trump told reporters the partial shutdown now
heading into its third week could go on for months, even years, if
Democrats don’t give him the $5.6 billion he’s demanding to build a
U.S.-Mexico border wall. The Democrats have steadfastly refused. The
shutdown has affected some 800,000 federal workers — 420,000 of them forced to work without pay — since Dec. 22.
“This is national security we’re talking about,” Trump said. “We’re not talking about games.“
When asked if there was any “safety net” for workers going without pay as the shutdown continues, Trump responded: “The safety net is going to be having a strong border.”
Trump
also floated another way he could get his wall: declaring a state of
national emergency over border security to build it without
congressional approval.
just so you know all the people not getting paid are also at risk of not getting unemployment either because the shutdown has gone on so long. ppls food, disability, and Medicaid benefits are going to b restricted. he is literally willing to let Even More people starve and die for a stupid fucking wall he won’t even be able to build. i don’t want hear shit about “negotiating” and uwu seeing the other side. he is killing people.
“but if everyone had food, it would ruin the market!” maybe the point is the fact that it would ruin the market is a fact that your system has some flaws… perhaps.
same applies to raising the minimum wage, like if people getting paid better for their labor means your system collapses maybe it wasn’t built to be sustained 🤔
‘it would ruin the market’ there shouldn’t be a food market in the first place???
yo treasure planet was literally the best 2d disney film ever made like the setting? the colors? the flawless transition? the gorgeous world building? the three dimensional characters? a main character who’s never pressured to get into anything remotely close to romance? complex relationships? an antagonist who has layers to his character? the soundtrack? i could go the FUCK on,
PLUS THIS SCENE?
AND THIS????
We’re all just suckers for lonely heroes accidentally acquiring a dad.
the reason why this movie is so underrated is that disney released it almost side by side with the harry potter movie.
treasure planet was a very, very expensive movie that used novel cgi mixed with 2d drawing, took a lot of work and money to create, the script itself was amazing to work with, the characters had arcs and depths, and the story as a whole was compelling and never off.
i don’t think anyone ever figured out why disney wanted it to flop, but the date of release was strictly suicidal for a movie. that’s why it never got the attention it deserved.
Lemony Snicket: *appearing out of thin air* The acronym V.F.D. can stand for a great number of mysterious places and things. For example, it can refer to a secret organization fighting fires. However, it can also stand for a village standing in the middle of the Hinderlands. It can be a silly phrased devised by a group of silly people who prefer heart-shaped balloons to the usage of new medical technology. There is a great plethora of things that V.F.D. could stand for (a word here which means a great number of myserious places and things) that it is almost impossible to say what this particular V.F.D. stands for.
Lemony Snicket: But, in this case, V.F.D. stands for “very fucking dead”.
hello everyone, i’ll get straight to the point— my friend is stuck in Iraq because her parents tricked her into a one way trip. she was told that they would just be visiting family and vacationing, but by the end of the trip when they were supposed to start leaving, it was clear they were not going anywhere. her father ripped up her passport in front of her and now she is in need of a new passport, taxi funds to get to the US Embassy in Baghdad, money for a hotel to stay in, and a plane ticket. not to mention, when she comes back to the US she won’t have anywhere to stay or any of her belongings anymore. if you could DONATE even just a little bit, it would be greatly appreciated. please reblog this. some friends and i helped her make a gofundme because she’s unable to do so, here is the link, again PLEASE donate: https://www.gofundme.com/tricked-into-a-one-way-trip-to-iraq?utm_source=internal&utm_medium=email&utm_content=campaign_title&utm_campaign=donation_receiptv5
