So, the shutdown is a "hoax?"

Like, it's not real?

Also, you can "rEcOmmEnD" whatever you want, it ain't happening and they're not fooled.

You can't "dOcK" anything.

Some of this could be actionable in court.
The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

To accept a pardon, don't you have to admit guilt? You get pardoned for a crime you committed.

Also, no 5th amendment protection as you can't incriminate yourself.

Also, these are state crimes as well, right?

I wonder what they get for giving in?

They had to be bribed. Republicans could have ended this at any time, but they're only acting now that it's obvious that they're being blamed for the showdown.

Like everything else they're doing, the damage is done.

They can be ordered to do things and they might even comply, but the damage is already done.

Some will go the entire month without SNAP benefits.

This is a DIRECT result of the decision to pay only partial benefits.
