And is still pissed he gave us up in the end ofvthe first shutdown..

Can someone please explain to me why funding depts of housing, transportation, health, etc but not dhs is a bad thing?

Isn't that a selective shutdown of one ofvthe most corrupt departments without harming all the good workers of our government, or the people who need government to function for their continued safety and livelyhood?

In my book.. a dhs shutdown while the rest of government keeps going seems preferable to a full shutdown or the kind of weak deal that chuck normally takes

It seems like the only downside is ice is pre-funded for a good while. What am i missing?
