Don't bodda wit him no moah.
He's playing his faggot liberal bullshit semantics game.
WE know who "caused" it, and why.
Fuck that faggot rich kid.
He's just inflating his self-importance to make him feel better about
something that's bothering the fuck out of him.
He knows exactly why the government shut down, but he's going to try
and make you say shit that he can argue against, again... to make
himself feel better.
He's really fucked-in-the-head, but too out of his mind to know it.
Just play his game back at him and watch him squirm, then insult you in
ways to try and get you back to arguing with him.
Run... loser... run!
LOL
He really is a sad case.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a
person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of
Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and
reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece
in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three
distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of
proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as
if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's
vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of
hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish
fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the
knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump
does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made,
TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something nefarious, according
to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump
could do or say that would be received positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the
early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch
line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term
first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer
back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute
onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the
policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
