The DOJ has a similar message.
"Democrats have shut down the government. Department of Justice websites are not currently regularly updated. Please refer to the Department of Justice's contingency plan for more information."

I've been saying this is what Trumpism is all about for years. Trolls always bring out the worst in people, both online and IRL. Not just Trump's followers, but also the people who have been trained to react to him on command.

I know people often joke or hyperbolize about Manchurian candidates, but this does seem like the real deal.

Who is being"trained"? How are they being "trained"?

I am appalled and react instinctively when i see my leaders talking and acting like Nazis.

No one is commanding me to do so except my own Higher Power.

Donald Trump wanted the shutdown because he says it gives him power to fire people and do other mischief.

He not only said this, he gloated over this.

The shutdown is his, along with every bad thing that comes from it.

Of course, lftnutlcker "thinks" whatever Trump tells him to "think."

He'd stroke out if he actually tried to think.

Its so clear now, the Democrats' way to make the Affordable Care Act more 'affordable' is for the government to give everyone more and more money with which to purchase high-priced insurance.

Healthcare isn't even part of the equation.

That's really all the shutdown fight is about. How much money can we give the rich to hide the ACA mess.

1) You people don't have an alternative to ACA. You never have and never will.

2) Eleven-million Americans newly without medical insurance is a big deal....Except for you people.

3) A lot of extra everyday Americans (50,000+) will die because of no health insurance, a problem for everyone...Except you people.

4) You people are the reason we can't have nice things.
