National strike fastest way to end US govt. shutdown: Analyst
[PRESSTV] A national general strike is the fastest way to end the ongoing government shutdown in the United States, an American political analyst says, as an impasse between Democrats and President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
 over his border wall is about to enter the fifth week.

"The highest priority at the moment is opening the government but how to get it done is loaded with very unrealistic solutions," Myles Hoenig, a former Green Party candidate told Press TV Sunday.

"Probably the fastest way to resolve the shutdown is for there to be a general strike in the US. Not just the babus government employees and their state government allies but a real national general strike, something this country is not used to," he added.

Earlier in the day, Republican Representative Lee Zeldin suggested that Trump and all members of Congress should be locked in a room and left unpaid until they reach a deal to end the longest ever US government shutdown.

The bizarre statement came after Democrats rejected an offer by Trump to end the shutdown, which began on December 22 over the president’s plea for $5.7 billion to build his controversial wall on the US-Mexico border.

#1 Deeply amusing watching the behavior of people trying to deal with their religion being shut down.

#4 I dunno g(r)om..Went to a square dance in 8th grade in rural Ohio. The farm girls were nice and very pretty. "Corn-feds" as we called them. Tall blonde and blue-eyed of northern European ancestry.
Mrs. Warthog fits the description.

#6 National strike? Well then CNN and the rest of the MFM should lead by example. Blank TV screens at airports would be a welcome (and long overdue) change.

#7 My stepson was laughing at the shutdown yesterday. He hasn't noticed any change in anything since the shutdown. I have to agree, let it keep going and follow up on that RIF idea to get rid of the extra workers we clearly don't need.
