In reply to the discussion: For those beginning to consider "some sort of compromise" with Trump and [View all]CozyMystery
(652 posts)My family is impacted by the shutdown. We have been waiting for payment since before Thanksgiving, and the agency that pays us ran out of money by mid-December. Just before Thanksgiving, we lost all our frozen food (2 large freezers) due to a power outage that lasted nearly a week. In 2 weeks, when my turn at the food bank comes up, I'm going there. We have enough food to last until then. We are making it by borrowing, but our adult children's money has now run out.
The only working phone is my cell phone b/c my daughter paid the bill. The business landlines and cell phones have been shut off for 2 weeks due to nonpayment.
Our emergency fund is also gone.
So I'm not talking as something who has it made. My opinion is solely based on the fact that Trump is a terrorist and on what I think will be best for the people of this country.
I have more opinions, but I would probably get kicked off of DU if I expressed them. I am furious that we, as a nation, are being held hostage by an illegally elected president.
