The way I see it, Trump has no incentive to do anything about the shutdown. From all the evidence we have so far, he is truly consciously destabilizing the country at Russia's behest. This is mission accomplished. The senate, and specifically Mitch McConnell, have the means, and I feel, the duty, to get this course corrected. I don't know the rules of the senate very well, but it seems like if one man can block a package of bills from ever being voted on, then this is really "obstruction of justice" and undermining the constitution of this Republic. Let the bastards vote on the house's bills and defend their positions in their home districts. McConnell is conspiring to de-stabilize this country, and I really think he needs to be investigated by what's left of the Department of Justice.

I think that the side that comes to the table and ends the shutdown will be the clear good guys in the eyes of most Americans. It is always interesting to see who in Congress puts their money where their mouths are. It is nice to see in the House that there are about as many Ds as Rs on the list. Noticeably missing from the list, media Dbag darling and communist Ocasio-Cortez, who on 12/22 said that Congress should give up their paychecks "Have some integrity" she says, yet still cashes the check. Oh these crazy idealistic millennials.

No one should reject their pay because they earn it and no one should go without pay because an Ahole is using fear and blackmail to get money for a wasteful pet project that has not been voted on, enacted by Congress, or signed into law.

That is not the point. The point is the hypocrisy. Also noticeable the assholes that need the money the least are the ones who had no problem keeping their salaries were the Senators.
Also way to go USAA for their 15 million dollar donation to the Coast Guard yesterday.

Okay hypocrisy now how does this resolve the fact people are not being paid because a lying motherf***er is throwing a tantrum and the republican party is an enabler? Aren't all republicans hypocrites for not furloughing pay while they refuse to even vote on the exact bill they approved in the last congress to reopen the goverment? It's not like they aren't going to eventually recieve it. Instead of rejecting pay why don't they donate it? Just a hollow publicity stunt.

Here is the biggie, Carson: Do you think we would be in this same state of degradation if Hillary Clinton had won the election?

Moscow Mitch and the senate republicans refuse to vote on reopening the government and allowing 800,000 Americans to recieve paychecks, but enthusiastically come together to successfully pass a vote on lifting the sanctions imposed on a Russian oligarch for Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and for other hostile acts. Remind us who they are working for.
