I guess somehow the brass failed to inform their subordinates in the rank and file that they're still getting paid. And I guess you didn't know either, since you didn't bother to tell them that they're getting paid. It's either that, or you're just making crap up to start a conversation.

I'm just here for the show.

Future pay: If the shutdown drags on, military personnel may be forced to work without pay until a budget deal is reached.

Centuries of human history indicate the military will always get paid... One way, or another.

That’s very respectable by that donor and I’m one of the biggest Trump supporters out there but $130 million isn’t nearly enough to pay all active duty. On top of that, the reservists that are still required to come in did not get paid last cycle and will not receive a dime until the government reopens.

That’s cool and all because I think this needs to happens in order to keep illegals from receiving any of our tax money but the notion that military will still be paid is false.

Democrats in Congress had the opportunity to ensure we get paid this cycle and only 3 voted yes. If this didn’t prevent any sane person from voting blue ever again, then I don’t know will.

Everything is perspective.

The left’s perspective will be win win.

Anybody who is not a leftist lunatic should realize that they are deranged and that they should not celebrate their so called victory at all.

Either way, the left is doing its best to destroy our country.

As a federal technician currently furloughed I say bring on the pain. Cut the fat and do not bend the knee to the Dems.

Because? If it’s the mistake of typing No instead Not then sorry I hurt your feelings. But if you believe we should guarantee government workers livelihoods then you are welcomed to fork over all your resources to help them out

If those EBT cards don't get reloaded on the 1st, we're going to see massive riots. In fact, I may go stock up this week in case my local stores get looted.

Thats when they turn on their own. MSM can blame Trump the first wwek, but Democrats wont last 2 weeks after that.

The democrats are hoping we get some good video of violence happening WalMart and other grocery stores.

The MSM will spin this as Trump’s fault and the suburban white women will demand the shutdown ends so things can go back to normal.

I don’t know if the Republicans cave under this pressure but this is the plan.
