Response to Dems response to Trump address Darcy cartoon cleveland.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio President Trumps low energy Oval Office address on the border wall funding didnt result in any constructive action, but the Democrats response to it did.

The odd optics/staging of Sen. Chuck Schumers and Rep Nancy Pelosis response resulted in an outpouring of viral mocking memes. And a day later, Pelosis response to Trump resulted in him stomping out of meeting with Congressional leaders on the border wall and government shutdown.

Trump reportedly had to be talked into giving his Oval Office address, and he looked and sounded like it. Schumer and Pelosi also looked like they didnt want to be giving the Democrat response.

The Democrat leaders stood in a large cold marble hallway, crammed behind a single podium, looking like they had been made up by a mortician or theater makeup artist. I kept expecting to see a sweating Sen Marco Rubio reach in and offer Schumer and Pelosi bottles of water.

Trump will be further frustrated to know that Schumer and Pelosi upstaged him by earning higher viewership ratings than his first Oval Office address. However it appears those viewers were too busy creating mocking memes of the odd Schumer Pelosi scene to actually listen to what they were saying.

Tlaibs Trump response looked worse than Pelosi and Schumers.

As bad as the optics looked in the Chuck and Nancy show, Rep. Rashida Tlaibs response to Trump was even worse.

On the day Tlaib was sworn into Congress, she shared with her supporters that she had comforted her son about Trump by telling him, "Were going to go in and impeach the mother asterisk asterisk asterisk asterisk asterisk asterisk !"

Both Democrats and Republicans denounced Tlaibs comment. For Democrat leaders, Tlaib invoking immediate impeachment of Trump was as offensive as the extreme vulgarity she used.

Under Pelosi and Schumer, Democrats official line is that impeachment is a last resort that should only be considered after Mueller issues his report and its reviewed by Congress.

Tlaib has only partially apologized for her comments. She said recently that she now views the incident as a "teachable moment." Tlaib said she understands shes a member of Congress and doesnt "want anything I say or do to distract us." The only thing shell apologize for was that it was a distraction. Tlaib said shell never apologize for "being me...authentic, passionate and upset."

Trump was right when he called her comments "disgraceful" and " a great dishonor to her and her family."

Tlaib should fully apologize. So should Trump for the multitude of times hes brought great dishonor to himself, his family, the office of the presidency, The United States of America and its Constitution.

Trump Sets Record With Longest Government Shutdown Ever - News Today - Duration: 8:55.

The partial government shutdown has now gone on for 22 days, making it the longest such closure in U.S. history.

Many of the affected federal employees had missed at least one paycheck as of Saturday, when the shutdown hit record length. The financial stress is leading some workers to look for other jobs, ask relatives for money, apply for unemployment or even go without essentials like medication. Meanwhile, other Americans are facing a host of inconveniences and hardships, from shuttered museums to delayed farm loans.

"We've dipped into our savings account already. If it keeps going, my husband said he'll call his parents and see if they'll lend us some money," said DeCarann Speaks, a mother of two and the wife of a Border Patrol agent in Vermont who is working without a paycheck. ""

President Donald Trump is insisting that Congress give him $5.7 billion to build a wall on the border with Mexico, a proposition Democrats describe as a costly and immoral boondoggle. With talks at a standstill in Washington, the president headed to the border on Thursday to make his case for the wall. He said he is considering declaring a national emergency to get the funding Democrats have denied him, a maneuver all but certain to be challenged in court.

The impasse has meant that roughly a quarter of federal government functions are no longer funded, with agencies including the Department of Homeland Security, the Interior Department and the Internal Revenue Service largely shut down. Approximately 380,000 federal employees have been furloughed and are out of work, while another 420,000 are still working as "essential" personnel but are not being paid.

The shutdown, which began Dec. 22, was technically the third to take place in 2018, although the first lasted a mere three days, and the second lasted just a few hours and did not result in any furloughs. There have been 21 similar funding lapses since 1976, but only a handful of major shutdowns in which workers went without pay. Until now, the longest one had been a 21-day shutdown starting in December 1995, amid a deadlock between then-President Bill Clinton and congressional Republicans.

The current closure had only marginal impact on the general public at first, when many people were on vacation for the holidays and government offices were closed anyway. But as the shutdown drags on with no obvious end in sight, Americans are growing more aware and more annoyed by the disruption. More than four in 10 Americans now consider the partial shutdown a very serious problem, according to a HuffPost/YouGov poll conducted Jan. 4 to 7.

The Trump administration has tried to mitigate some of the most noticeable effects of the shutdown to avoid public backlash. For instance, the National Park Service kept many parks open but with reduced staff, leading to piled-up trash and damaged vegetation in parks like Joshua Tree.

With the shutdown bleeding into tax season, the Internal Revenue Service is calling some employees back from furlough in order to process refunds after a change in policy from the White House. And the Agriculture Department announced a complicated plan to continue food assistance for the poor into February, to keep people fed and avoid further economic damage.

Government shutdowns are costly affairs. Federal agencies must spend time and energy developing contingency plans in the runup to a closure, then have to make up missed work once the government finally reopens. As the messy situation in national parks has demonstrated, the government's work does not stop just because funds haven't been appropriated for that work. Agencies will face a backlog of responsibilities to handle once they are fully operational again.

Shutdowns can also hurt the broader economy, as workers tighten their budgets due to missed paychecks and consumer confidence dampens. The Bureau of Economic Analysis estimated that the 2013 shutdown of 16 days reduced GDP for the fourth quarter of that year by 0.3 percentage points.

Congress has already appropriated funding for roughly three-quarters of the federal government, leaving many agencies unaffected by the shutdown. House Democrats, who assumed the majority last week, passed bills that would reopen shuttered agencies other than DHS, which is at the center of the funding dispute. But Republican leaders in the Senate have refused to take up those bills and stood alongside the president, who threatened to veto any legislation without full wall funding.

The House and Senate approved a bill to pay all federal employees who have been missing paychecks, including those who were furloughed. But Trump still has to sign the bill. If he does, the workers would not receive any pay until the government reopens and payroll is processed.

Meanwhile, workers must still figure out how to pay their bills without a regular paycheck. Many are turning to interest-free loans or applying for unemployment benefits, which workers must return if they eventually receive backpay.

Trump's threat that the shutdown could go on "for years" rattled many workers unsure of how they'll cover their mortgage and car payments. The shutdown is a particularly raw deal for employees working under federal contracts, as they are not directly employed by the government and typically don't get backpay.

One such worker is Larry Howard, a 62-year-old guest services associate at the National Zoo in Washington. The zoo is part of the sprawling Smithsonian network, which closed on Jan. 2 as a result of the shutdown. Howard said he is employed by a non-profit contractor, the Friends of the National Zoo, earning $13.50 per hour in his part-time position. His last payday was Jan. 4, and he doesn't expect to receive a check next week as he normally would.

Howard had to ask his landlord for leniency on his January rent, paying only $400 of the $800. He also asked for more time to pay his electric bill ― an indignity he says he shouldn't have to suffer.

"The way this situation is, there's no other choice but try to persuade them that they'll get that money ... when I can get it to them," said Howard, who is an activist with Good Jobs Nation, a union-backed group pushing for higher pay for federal contractors. ""

Some Democrats are supporting a bill that would provide backpay for people like Howard who work under federal contracts and lost wages because of the shutdown. Such a bill has not made it into law in the past. "I hope that Congress will step up to the plate and pass some kind of bill for the contractors who aren't getting anything," Howard said.

Speaks, whose husband works for the Border Patrol along the U.S.-Canadian border, said both she and her husband have student loans to repay. She recently earned a degree in medical assisting and her loan repayments began just before the new year, right around the time her husband received his last paycheck.

For now, they are getting by on Speaks' salary at her hospital. Although their two children are just 8 and 9 years old, "They understand that we have to budget really well right now," Speaks said. The family halted their Netflix and Hulu subscriptions and put other non-necessities on hiatus, including a 10-year anniversary trip planned for this year.

Speaks said she found it particularly galling that members of Congress continue to get paid as federal employees work with their paychecks on hold.

"I just really wish they would focus on the people they're affecting," Speaks said. Workers like her husband and his colleagues "are out there risking their lives," she added, "and they're not getting paid. It's not fair."

Breaking News Today - Trevor Noah unearths Trump's old advice about dealing with walls - Duration: 4:09.

As the US federal government shutdown over Trump funding his border wall with Mexico continues, a newly unearthed video shows him having a slightly different view on the efficiency of such barriers 15 years ago

President Donald Trump is demanding $5.7billion for a wall along the US-Mexico border, claiming this is the only way to prevent illegal immigration

However, in a 2004 speech to college graduates, he urged them: 'If there's a concrete wall in front of you, go through it, go over it, go around it, but get to the other side of that wall

Trump made the speech while accepting an honorary doctorate at Wagner College on New York's Staten Island in May 2004

'Never ever give up,' he can be heard telling graduates in the video.'Don't give up

Don't allow it to happen.'If there's a concrete wall in front of you, go through it, go over it, go around it, but get to the other side of that wall

' The footage was dug up and broadcast by comedian Trevor Noah during Wednesday night's Daily Show

'If there's one thing we know, it's that nothing will stop immigrants from trying to come to America,' Noah said

'This is a place that people dream of coming to, because people trying to make a better, safer life for their families will do anything to achieve that dream

And I know Donald Trump understands this — because of this video we found from 15 years ago

' Presently, the federal government is entering its 20th day of partial shutdown, and Trump is heading to Texas to visit the border town of McAllen

The partial government shutdown has left hundreds of thousands of Americans out of work or working without pay, while Trump and his fellow Republicans fight with Democrats over his demand for $5

7billion this year to construct the barrier.Trump's plan to build a wall at the southern border was a central promise of his 2016 presidential campaign

He said last month he would be 'proud' to shut the government down over the issue

He has also been considering whether to declare a national emergency and use it to go around Congress by spending money allocated for the Department of Defense to build the wall

Democrats who control the House of Representatives refuse to approve the wall funding
