>>105487397>it's not like it's a lotthe last time he shut the government down it was because Rand Paul (KY, R) objected to raising the debt ceiling to pay for the military (about 80 billion a year each year for two years), for non-military (about 60 billion a year each year for two years), 90 billion for hurricane relief, and funding healthcare programs for children
that was resolved overnight
the time before that Trump shut the government down for three days over a non-citizenship 2 year deferment of deportation rule for people brought to the country as minors who have no criminal record to apply for work permits, which is something a country with a general ageing population actually needs - young workers coming into the economy - and arguably has no downside from Trump's point of view since they can't qualify for citizenship under DACA and as legal, carded workers would contribute to the economy or be deported
that was January last year
previous shutdowns were 2013, and 1996; they haven't been common since the Reagan years (and were stupid then)
he doesn't even want the money for his wall, he wants it so he can hand out contracts for the wall as grace and favor, buying influence for himself to prove he's a big man
but he's not a big man, he's a fatass
>>105487645yeah who needs the FBI anyway all they do is investigate crime
