Simply stated, politicians do not care about anyone but themselves.
They do not care about you, nope.
They could care less about you.
They care only about their party.
And those are the facts as the shutdown continues.
Call your Congressmen or Congresswoman and let them know.

The majority of the American people want a border wall and want the government to open back up.

I called both Warner and Kaine's office and asked them to negotiate. I didn't tell them that I supported the wall or didn't support the wall. Just negotiate. So far, they aren't listening.

If nothing else, this will get resolved when 60-80% of Americans do not get their tax refunds timely.

I can't remember the last time I had a refund from Federal or state. Do I still have to pay up on April 15?

The House has passed a bunch of shutdown-related bills, but lard-ass McConnell has not allowed a bill come to the Senate floor unless Trump has pre-approved it. Warner and Kaine and 98 others have been shut out of any debate or process here.

Super Donald says not to worry, he'll get all our tax refunds paid out. But as of now, seven out of every eight IRS employees are furloughed.

The cornerstone of the GOP campaign in 2018 was border security with an emphasis on building a wall. Democrats won the House, flipping a huge number of seats and getting a majority of the popular vote. So by the most reliable measure of popular sentiment a majority of the American people have rejected the border wall.

President Trump used an address Monday to the American Farm Bureau convention to dig in on his call for a border wall, even as new polling indicates most Americans oppose his administration’s strategy of demanding money for the U.S.-Mexico barrier in exchange for ending the partial government shutdown.
[Does anyone still think that convention was in Tennessee?]

GOP gained in the Senate.
Also, Trump stomped your girl Hillary with a main campaign issue of building a wall.

Making America Great Again! Imprison Trump for Lying about the Wall.

Not to worry indeed. The IRS commish has declared those who process refunds as essential personnel and they aren't furloughed.
Trump is always looking out for the average Joe. MAGA!

Worst Senate map for Democrats in decades and the GOP still picked up only two seats. Expect them to lose at least NINE seats in 2020, assuming the line-up remains as it is today.

Irrelevant to the point of what MOST of the American people want. Only a third of the Senate was up for election. However if you want to look at the 2018 Senate election note that the total votes for Democratic candidates far surpassed the votes for Republican candidates. So whether House or Senate, when you look at what the American people said by the cumulative total of their individual ballots, the wall was rejected.

Again irrelevant to the point of what MOST of the American people want. Trump won the Electoral College in 2016 where dirt does get a vote. In the popular vote your boy got over two points less than Hillary...who has never been "my girl".
