Hmmmm, just wondering who's going to eat beef from Argentina? I think I'll pass!!

And if they start importing beef from Argentina, my guess is that's going to be the first question at restaurants and markets. "Which country does your beef come from?"

Politico @politico.com · 2d

A White House lunch on Tuesday was supposed to celebrate GOP unity on the shutdown.

But farm-state Republicans also let Trump know they are not happy about his idea to buy more beef from Argentina — one of U.S. ranchers’ biggest competitors — in order to lower food prices.

GOP senators bring beef concerns straight to Trump

Trump officials are expected to provide further details about a possible deal to import more beef from Argentina later Tuesday.

President Trump has used the shutdown to lay off thousands of workers and cancel an estimated $27 billion in funding for projects in Democratic cities and congressional districts.

How is this shutdown different from other shutdowns?

President Donald Trump has used the shutdown to make unprecedented changes to the federal government.

My concern is that it's not going to be a ballroom used for dancing and those types of events, but that it's going to be used for more rallies which constantly divides this country.

The main people sowing seeds of hate are him and his fellow GOP now in charge of the government. All they do is try to divide this country. Every other comment is division of people and blaming over half our citizens for the problems they have created.

United we stand - Divided we fall!

He probably would have said the same thing about Woodstock 69 - a four day event where there was not any violence whatsoever with a half a million people. Make fun all you want - love is still the answer.

I have never seen nicer crowds of people marching today. Not a hateful act anywhere. Cheers!

If we're at the place where the president is calling for a governor to be jailed for no good reason, our democracy is in real danger.

Anyone concerned about the balance of power between states and the federal government should speak out now against this authoritarian posturing.

EXCLUSIVE: Democratic voting rights groups are preparing for the Supreme Court to gut a key part of landmark civil rights-era legislation, the Voting Rights Act.

Republicans could draw 19 more House seats if the court allows gerrymandering which dilutes the voting power of racial minorities.

I know it's tiresome to play the "imagine if the parties were reversed" game, but thinking about how Republicans (and right-wing media) would be reacting if a Democratic-controlled House was refusing to swear in a newly elected *Republican* member may be the apotheosis of this particular meme.
