I'm going to ignore the other posts and respond thus:

The United States has a written Constitution, something not found in England. As part of the document, the Congress authorizes all spending by the U.S. Government. The Executive Branch can only spend what's been appropriated.

The President informed the Congress earlier, that there would be no omnibus spending bills, that Congress would have to appropriate money for departmental operations as had been done for years. The Congress has already appropriated about 75% of the fiscal 2019 budget.

As part of the Congressional rules, in place for years, it takes a 60 vote approval for the Senate to okay any appropriation bill that comes to the Senate. The only exception is for reconciliation, which requires only a one-vote majority to pass in either house.

The President can't spend any money the Congress hasn't appropriated. With divided power, the Democrat-controlled House has refused to appropriate any money for President Trumps border security (politics aside). Without an appropriations bill, which has to originate in the House, there can be no vote in the Senate.

The United States Constitution is not a very long document to read. You should try it.

The President of the United States is not a demigod. He's acting within the power granted him by the Constitution. He did not shut down the government.

And yes, I read all six volumes of Churchill's work. At the end, I was still convinced that he was a narcissistic, political chameleon who switched sides of the political aisle about as often as I change underwear. His understanding of military strategy was exceeded only by his ego. (See Gallipoli Campaign of February 1915-January 1916.)

He hasn't shut down the government. First of all 80 percent of it is still running. If properly administered that would be more than enough to fund an adequate government.

Second we have a system of checks and balances. No one person can do anything. Congress could open government in a minute if they were willing to do. All they have to do is pass a budget that the president will sign. They just choose not to do so.

To blame the shut down on one person is ridiculous. The same people who are refusing to fund a wall now almost universally voted for a wall earlier, when they knew that it wasn't actually going to get built. Now that there is a president who is actually going to get it built they hate him so much that they refuse to even negotiate.

It is essentially the same thing that is happening in Great Britain with Brexit. May negotiated with Brussels without having the consent of your legislature and now you have a deadline coming up in March with no resolution in sight.

I admitted i don't have inside information ergo it would be the clueless kind. But on the other hand you say you got all sorts of inside information because you know what information is inside of secret future reports that have not been made public. That would be a snake rattling his brain what little he has of it!

Oh it is not a portrait, it is a mirror! That is why you find it so disgusting! Hahahahaha!

hisssssssssss like a snake you are and have a GIRLY HISSSSSY-FIT LIKE YOU SHOW HERE! Hahahahahahaha!
I'll post the mirror as soon as it gets a few touch ups!
