The Republicans are in control, trump said it's the presidents fault shutdowns happen.
Trump is a hypocrite dog.
Two shutdown under trump now.
Lets be honest we only need to know one thing its the Democrats fault becouse they keep arguing about non American citizens even tho daca has nothing to do with budget
Look like we live in a crappy government yeah that's still sucks Soldier don't get paid his ex everywhere this shity government
Whatever country arises from America's ashes should study shit like this closely just so they know what not to do.
Oh this comment section is just pure gold.
“Pay taxes and don’t expect anything in return” /US-Government
So many delusional, angry, little (R)etards in the comment section.
Trump himself said government shutdowns are the presidents fault.
Deal with it, morons.
Watch Mojo usually can't even get movie facts straight, now they want to tell us about Government? The "establishment" is getting pretty desperate when they have to beg Watch Mojo to get into the political propaganda arena.. I guess this is phase III, beyond the MSM and the entertainment industry, now they're seeking assistance of bloggers, the same way the DNC did a few weeks before the 2016 election.. With 16 million subs, they were definitely paid off to do this transparent and desperate b.s. propaganda. "You can get the flu from a government shut down"? Ugh! Pathetic. Spare us. Unsubscribed.
Kick out the democrats, period. Anti-american trash.
you can't change your next during a stupid shut down. I got married and have been trying to change my last name but because of these stupid shut downs I haven't been able to yet. it's starting to get really annoying.
Why wasn’t this vid posted when the dems shut it down?
I work in Santa Cruz CA. Thanks to our unsecured border, I don't carry cash, I wear my steel toe boots, I wear muted colors, I carry my knife everywhere, I hold my breath whenever I walk past someone smoking weed, crack, or something else, there are only a few places where it's safe to use a public restroom without worrying I might contract hepatitis, and I lose work every couple weeks because of anti-fa protests and/or feminist marches blocking client access to my workplace. Might I also mention how I had to replace two tires on my car because of road hazards not being fixed by taxes that were used for illegals, and not road repair.
If they're so damned expensive, why do we even do it? I mean, sure, it's not like we're already in massive debt- wait a minute…
bring on the Purge
You missed to mention those mfs in Congress still get paid regularly during shutdowns.
Number 1: Government shutdowns aren't the stupid life or death situations politicians want you to think they are and everything will be okay no matter what happens.
Trump said himself that government shutdowns are the president’s fault. Not owning up to it anymore is he?
1995 and 1996 plus obama's shut down…hmmmm seems like the communist republicans are at fault
lol this video is informative and non-biased. How the fuck are you snowflakes screaming and whining about “leftist propaganda” when the video literally did not take a stand on anything, and accurately painted the 2013 shutdown as worse than the 2018 one. Like seriously, how are you guys so triggered?
How many people know the government shutting down is possible?
Trump is a good president.
The people responsible for the shut down still get their pay on schedule.
