Through the USMCA, yes. I mean whoever wants to believe that they're free to do so.
It effects contractors more then anything. Civilian federal employees all end up getting paid whether they work or not. Been that way for the past dozen or so shutdowns. Sucks for those living paycheck to paycheck for sure but they'll get their money.
Considering that Trump himself said it's his shutdown I'm not sure how you come to this conclusion
Trump threw a win away for nothing. Fuckhead. Impeach his ass, already. Mueller will get Pence.
Sorry for the dumb question, but can anyone ELI5 what exactly a government shutdown is?
Like, Trump didn't get his phones so he's saying "okay, no government"? What does that entail exactly? Town halls are closed?
Sorry, I'm an idiot when it comes to this stuff but trying to be more informed.

You couldn't ask for a more fitting end to the 115th Congress than for it to shut down the government right before Christmas out of sheer obstinance and incompetence.
Fucking incredible. Imagine being the poor bastard who had to edit this. I look forward to when they start using video from World War Z for these stupid fucking videos.
Federal employees will not be paid, though essential services such as the military, postal service, and most law enforcement including corrections officers, FBI/DEA/ATF, and Border Patrol. Important to note that the DoD's budget was already approved so for the most part, those members of the Federal government are still getting paid.
Other departments like Agriculture for instance will only keep on employees whom the Department heads deem "essential," though they'll have to work without pay.
Now the next payday is going to be January 2nd. So as of midnight tonight no one will actually be working without pay. After the 2nd we'll officially be in the part of the shutdown that effects all employees, not just those who are furloughed. Estimates put the number of federal employees who will likely be working without pay at around 420,000 of the roughly 800,000 that currently exist.
I hope McDonald's is open late. Gonna be a long, shitter night of golden opportunities.
Well, if you don't give a fuck what anyone says and have no sense of shame and your goal is to make life miserable for
It means that federal government employees no longer are paid. Most will not show up to work until the government reopens. State and local level government employees are still fine. These used to be uncommon/rare but in the past few years they have become frequent. Hurting the US Credit rating. We were downgraded from AAA to AA a few years ago. It hurts our economy as well as effecting employees who no longer are paid. The past few shutdowns a number of employees who's position was deemed critical worked for free.
As far as 'the blame game' goes, you've also got to look at who is asking for something. The time dems got blamed was because they were the ones trying to get something.
While most Americans support something like the dream act, most Americans didn't support the shutting down the government to get it.
This time, most Americans are against the wall, but crucially, even more Americans are against shutting down the government to get the wall to the tune of something like 60%. 'It's their fault because they won't give me what I want', is much harder to sell than 'It's their fault because they won't pass a clean spending bill.'

But I saw a picture of him in workout clothes with a dumbbell in his hand. Plus, he's a republican, so strong, like Donald.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Government partially shuts down after Trump, Congress unable to agree on border wall spending.

Major parts of the federal government begin shutting down for an indefinite closure. Negotiations to continue through the weekend.
He has everything on his iTunes from AC/DC to Zeppelin! What a stud.
Imagine some poor drug smuggler hauling bricks of drugs miles through the desert only to be blocked by a fence of metal slats . . . good thing he can slip the drugs through to the guy on the other side with those huge gaps between slats
You two are aware that half of the US lives in fantasyland, no?
There sure as fuck are gonna be a lot of people who buy into the "it's the libs' fault" propaganda.
Burst out laughing. "There is nothing we can do to stop this shutdown" says man declaring shutdown. Who is he even talking to? Who is this attempting to move or incentivise? Is this him just trying to lay groundwork for blaming this on dems? Wont hurt dems, but trying to save face?
Doesn't matter who's responsible for this shutdown, it's ultimately always avoidable. I'm not saying anyone had to cave into demands of another parties requests, but neither side is willing to compromise or work together. Politics in the US is no longer about what's right, it's about making sure the opposing party doesn't get what they want.
It's absolutely ridiculous that it's come to this and both parties are to blame for it.

The Senate passed something to keep the government open. It was a bipartisan vote.
The Republican controlled House of Representatives paid it no mind.
Do not both sides this.
