Trump: US ‘needs a good shutdown’
By Rebecca Savransky and Jordan Fabian - 05/02/17 09:12 AM EDT

President Trump on Tuesday called for a "good shutdown" in September to fix the "mess” in government.

He also expressed frustration that legislation needs 60 votes in the Senate because of the filibuster, saying it would be necessary to elect more Republicans or "change the rules."

"The reason for the plan negotiated between the Republicans and Democrats is that we need 60 votes in the Senate which are not there! We either elect more Republican Senators in 2018 or change the rules now to 51%. Our country needs a good 'shutdown' in September to fix mess!" he wrote in a series of tweets.

Obama managed to shut down government and even shut down things that didn't need to be shut down to be nasty.

Yup. Just a few years ago conservatives knew that Obama shut govt down while deliberately targeting national parks and monuments to punish the people. Now it will be someone else's fault.

If nothing else this election has completely destroyed my fantasy that conservatives held some kind of moral high ground.

Trump and his ilk are world class a-holes.

Apparently, democrats are the only ones who can pass spending bills at 51% using reconciliation. We're not supposed to notice.

We could have had Cruz.

How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

Watch out for Treasury Sec Mnuchin: he really got rich when he was part of the team that bought IndyMac back in 2008. FDIC cut a deal with them, and it worked out well. No complaints about the FDIC, it was a tough situation.

FDIC was also ahead of the curve (by about five years) on Ocwen, the mortgage servicer getting the s--t sued out of them.

I know, I was part of the team that oversaw their contract with the FDIC. Looking back on it, I regret that we were so tough on them. They voluntarily withdrew from the contract after about 8 months...I was looking forward to a few more trips to West Palm Beach and San Diego (j/k).

I'll never forget that first trip. Within the first 90 minutes, we discovered a couple of "issues" that our supervisor sent up the chain for further guidance. When Sheila Bair (FDIC Chairman) was informed, she immediately called the CEO of Ocwen to inform him they were in breach of contract. We spun our wheels for a couple of days while Ocwen took care of the worst of it, enough to keep the contract.

What BS.  He just had two opportunities in as many weeks, and instead we have a CR until September now.  If he thought a shutdown is a good idea we would be shut down right now.

Talk to the simpletons who voted for the most degenerate lowlife NY liberal compulsive liar they could find for the white house.

Frankly I've never seen such a bunch of immoral lying cowards as Trump voters. They've done nothing but make excuses for the orange baboon they put in the white house.

Pushed out and rendered politically irrelevant while the name of 'Conservative' has been rebranded by Trump and his Populist Republican Oligarchy pals in the Deep State.

We've taken that fatal Left turn that Britain did decades ago - and perpetual decline and collapse is our future.

Yes we do.  I guess tax cuts, the repeal vote and NK are priorities for the next three months.

Are you actually trying to claim here that ALL of the Trump voters are conservatives ..... ie that they embrace and/or adhere to conservative principles?  Really???
