The shutdown isn't effecting my life, leave it shut down for all I care.


The nearby military base has large areas of land they allow hunting and fishing on, managed by a third party reservation system run at a profit. The system is closed during the shutdown - so I killed a 4x4 blacktail on my property instead. Eating the newly made jerky - shutdown not effecting me either,

Our government provides assistance for millions of poor and hungry people.

That's what Jesus taught us to do.

Just because you're all set doesn't mean anything to Jesus.

He can see right into your selfish heart.

Northam,

Same here. I'm all for keeping government shut down, especially since it affects Trump supporters more than Democrats: Message 35307017

Behind the Curtain: The Republican welfare state (Axios)

Republicans spent decades railing against welfare recipients. Now, they're deeply reliant on them to win elections.

It's no wonder you MAGA cultists are trying to evict the poorest of illegal immigrants, because you think they're stealing your benefits.

And Jesus sayeth unto the multitude, "I have all the food I need. Too bad for the rest of you."

The Gospel, according to MAGA:

14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on just the citizens among them, dividing the crowd into two groups, citizens and non-citizens, and healed just the citizens who were sick.

15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

16 Jesus replied, “Only the non-citizens must go away. Give the citizens something to eat.”

17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18 “Bring them here to me,” he said.

19 After the non-citizens had left, he directed the citizens to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the citizens, taking care that none of the food was mistakenly given to non-citizens.

20 After all the non-citizens had departed, the citizens all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

21. Jesus instructed them to make sure none of that leftover food was given to non-citizens.

22 The number of citizens who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

23 Jesus neither knew nor cared about how many non-citizens went hungry.
