Talk about petty and cheesy as hell. Somehow this doesn't seem appropriate nor "legal" (for lack of a better word) on the tax payer's dime.

Thank you for calling the White House. Unfortunately, we cannot answer your call today, because Congressional Democrats are holding government funding, including funding for our troops and other national security priorities, hostage to an unrelated immigration debate. Due to this obstruction, the government is shut down. In the meantime, you can leave a comment for the president at www.whitehouse.gov/contact. We look forward to taking your calls as soon as the government reopens.

At least the Trump shutdown managed to still get football championship games to our troops. God forbid they not get their weekly dose of meta propaganda.

Hilarious.

Yes you are tajbot. You have been outed repeatedly as a GOP shill and bullshit artist but continue on regardless.

I was just thinking that the inverse of that quote in your sig would read like this:

Conservatives are completely blind to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views. - William F. Buckley Jr.

OR

Right wing extremists want to throw hand grenades into tunnels filled with mexican children and carry out terrorist attacks on US soil. While dreaming of shipping jews off to camps for orderly disposal, because they are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views. - William F. Buckley Jr.

Sorry. I searched but didn't find it.
Don't be sorry brother. When I saw this thread I had to think about where I'd seen it before so like I said its worthy of its own thread. That message is further proof of the unprofessionalism that defines the Trump administration.

Can someone point to me of another time where the white house, during a government shutdown, blamed the opposing party on the white house answering machine message? I would truly like to know because our government should be acting like adults, not like teenagers.

Get him urvile! I'm taking a break, his stupidity, the depth of his cruelty and his inability to see anything wrong with Trump or his party was exhausting me. He's truly a loathsome slimy bottom feeder.

sadly, if what he says is true, he procreated, so that level of dumb dripped out his dick and fertilized an egg.

It's a shit move to trash a poster's uninvolved children like this. I once was insulting about a fellow poster's family member. I apologized in the public thread and via PM. Because it was a shit move.

Ya know, that's a fair and valid point, even though his children are now grown with children of their own. I can only hope they don't suffer from the same mental disconnect he does.
