Donald Trump Admin. Struggles To Show Empathy & Senators Clash Over Shutdown | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

[CJusticeHappen]

My life gets messed up if I miss a single shift, and I'm a healthy single guy with no kids. I can't imagine what the people with dependents and medical bills must be dealing with.

[no-orwelliandystopia]

Shout out to Colorado, your representation is noted in the Senate house.

[ragingmonk]

"I want a wall. I demand a wall". Quiet down inmate 20564! You will settle for bars like everyone else in here.

[eg]

😂😂 volunteering 😂🧐🤔
I can’t with these people

[stephendedalus]

So federal workers should pay interest on their own paychecks and beg for food from the grocery store? The orange guy with the bad hair and the cartoon character with custom slippers give terrible advice

[raboin]

I know when i'm hungry i just hop on down to the ole mom and pop store and they just give me whatever i want....lol These people live in an alternate reality.

[heidijanuary]

We will not forget your callousness, & cruelty

[jamesl]

Down payment for the wall! Yeah! Here’s a $100 Twump. Now open the government

[no-orwelliandystopia]

"People agree that they need the Wall"??? WHT people he's talking about?? Ann Coulter people??.

[TeslaCat]

Good luck getting loans from the banks, you'll get one huge middle finger....

[orangemanbad]

BREAKING NEWS⚠️
Roger Stone has been indicted 😁

[lynettepatton]

The economy is supposed to be good, but for whom? Look what's happening..food lines for a wall...suffering and fear for a wall..this is maddening.

[markdowse]

It is NOT the food.
People will not be able to pay their MORTGAGE.
People will become HOMELESS.

[dannmarceau]

He may get some more wall, but he'll never be re-elected.

[Nick_]

Right when you think Ted Cruz can’t get more creepy he grows out that beard 🤮🤮🤮
The man looks like a super villain

[poppy]

No Wall and No down payment, open the government.

[oldfartjohnson]

Look at trump...does he look clever to you?Even the skin has given up.

[danielfarias]

Folks at TSA and Traffic Controller should stay home. If they keep going to work nothing it is going to happen because, despite the fact that things are getting bad, you keep hearing from guys like Larry, Ross and Trump that have never worked in their entire life... if the federal workers affected by shutdown stay home I am sure things will change rather quickly...

[kbpeters]

Lara Trump: It’s a little pain for a better future. But this is so much bigger than any one person. It is a little bit of pain but it's going to be for the future of our country. And their children and their grandchildren and generations after them will thank them for their sacrifice right now."

White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett said furloughed federal workers who are not getting paid during the partial government shutdown are "better off" because they didn't have to use vacation days.

Asked to respond to reports that federal workers are going to food banks to get food, Wilbur Ross said, “I don’t really quite understand why.” He then suggested they should just go further into debt to make ends meet.

Those who can’t pay for food, medicine, or mortgage are better off than the rest of us? Its just a little pain they are experiencing. Why can’t they use their credit cards….like the cards don’t have interest rates…like loans don’t have interests. As if these people who are living paycheck to paycheck can afford paying back interest. Golly, its like they are whining and being selfish.

[markdowse]

Ross has NO IDEA.
Trump has no idea.
Send THEM to a shelter every day for eight weeks.
