    They are essential jobs. You are just right-wing wrong again.

    Some red senators are abandoning ship. There are now 7. They care about keeping their jobs. If Daffy costs them votes, they will be gone. then Trump will be alone.

    Not at all. Why are taxpayers paying for someone that is not needed?

    Obviously not if they are called non essential. I can see the English language still escapes you.

    Who says they're not needed?

    Again, words have meanings. Federal jobs are not 'welfare'.

    The government itself. Non essential. Not needed.

    Oh. I get it. Fun semantic games.

    They can be 'non essential' and still very much needed.

    There is nothing semantic about it. If they were actually needed they would be identified as essential personnel and still working. The federal government itself (for many, many years) have identified those not working right now as non-essential. You can try and spin this. You cannot though.

    You can try and pretend that I'm spinning something, but I'm not. I'm also not interested in another round of Semantics Jackass.

    You'll have to play that game all by yourself.

    Your dishonesty in trying to assert that federal jobs are 'welfare' should have tipped me off.

    Translation: Simple English definitions, truth and the utterly obvious do not coincide with my warped sense of reality. Therefore I will close my eyes and wish it all away. No wonder you are a Democrat. Dumb as fuck.

    LOL! Coming from a Marxist like you, that doesn't really carry a lot of weight.

    You'll understand, I'm sure, why people point and laugh at your when you can't back up your asinine claims.

    Sorry I rammed boot so far up your ass. Even sorrier that you clearly enjoy it.

    Oh, another limpwristed gender confused person that likes to claim "victory" when it gets its ass beat with facts. Not my problem you cannot understand basic English. If the population were categorized as essential or non essential can you guess where you would be wimpy?

    Please stop pushing back so enthusiastically against my boot, princess.

    Sorry that you can't back up your claim that federal jobs are actually 'welfare' and now you're melting down in order to distract from that fact.

    Effeminate gamma males like are you so predictable.

    We are using incorrect terminology.

    The terms "essential" and "nonessential" employees were changed to "excepted" and "non-excepted" in 1995, but the original wording is still used more often.
