Trump Implements Hammurabi Code of 'Symmetry' for Civil Servants
The "architects" of the Hammurabi code were not individual architects but the scribes who codified the laws for the Babylonian king, Hammurabi. The code itself does not contain architectural guidance but holds builders accountable for their work, making it the first known building code. If a house collapsed and killed the owner, the builder would be put to death; if it killed the owner's son, the builder's son would be killed, and for other damages, the builder had to repair the structure at their own expense

Day zero. Given that there is no "Schumer Shutdown".
The federal government is open across the board again? Hurray!
It seems a bit bizarre to me that one nimrod can shut down the entire U.S. government. Hard to have confidence in a system like that.
Last time the Regular Budget Order was followed was under Clinton. The system died in the late 1990s.
wtf? You've previously stated on multiple occasions that you would like the government to shut down and stay shut down forever. I think you are clearly a pathological liar. You simply cannot help yourself and, when an opportunity presents itself for you to tell a huge and absurd whopper, you can't resist.
When a Democrat is president it's his fault. When it is trump as president, it is the fault of "the system". I thought king donald was America's savior?
King donald = pass the buck president. Nothing is his fault. How the trump shutdown got falsely rebranded the Schumer shutdown.
I thought maybe Peter Thiel had plugged in his AI Civil Servant Replacements. Schumer won't be able to hold America hostage anymore once that happens. :)
...and all those Progressive Parasite Organizations and Democratic Party donating Grant Recipients will get DoGE's off the government teats once and for all. No more "throwing gold bars overboard"!
The president is responsible for passing the Budget? Who knew?
You really hate the idea of civil service employees working on behalf of the American people, don't you? Why you cheer for an already wealthy billionaire to put them out of work so he can get even richer 👎
...by replacing real people with AI bots who do a shitty job making people wait on hold or in lines for hours until they give up 👎
As a former government employee you've never needed to contact customer support about your benefits? Getting through to a real person to get the assistance you needed made you super angry?
So why did you blame Democratic presidents/Democrats in the past for not passing a budget but a CR instead? It seems you forget you did this?
The "Big beautiful bill" wasn't legislation donald trump personally advocated for? The republicans in congress came up with it entirely and donald trump had nothing to do with it? Who knew?
I deplore all non-productive labour. And I've never been a government employee. I've always worked as a private sector contractor performing tasks that civil servants were unable to do. And I applied for all my own pensions from private organizations online. It wasn't hard. My employment records weren't stored at the bottom of a coal mine.
I'm all for a return to the Regular Order, Derv. And yes, Presidents lobby for new spending bills in addition to bills under the disgraceful process known as a CR. Omnibus...Porkulus... there hasn't been a reasonable CR passed, ever. And yes, Congress developed the BBB.
The term "regular order" refers to the ideal but often ignored timeline for the budget and appropriations process. Congress has not completed all 12 individual appropriations bills on time since FY 1997. Instead, it has resorted to temporary CRs or combined spending packages, which Pew Research describes as the norm rather than the exception.
Thune had originally wanted to break the budget into 4 pieces and 4 votes. Trump recommended a single bill and vote. Congress sided with Trump. And then Congress wrote the bill, consulting Trump on his spending and tax priorities
Didn't you say you were in the Navy? Now you say you were lying about that?
The contractors who employed you didn't have contracts with the government? I thought you said they did. You're admitting more lies?
I was in the Naval Reserve for 10 years. 4 as a Midshipman Cadet, I was paid by the Ship owners, APL Prudential Grave, and States Lines. Bethehem Steel paid the majority of my salary when performing annual ACTDUTRAs aboard US Naval vessels on the West Coast like YR-85 (LBNSY) and the USS McKean (WA).
And yes, Boeing, CSC, and ASRC were all government contractors. In fact my employment over the coarse of 30 years+ by those companies were all directed by NASA. I didn't choose my employers, NASA did under government contracts.
ps- they were all 8A Contracts. Ironic, huh?
So yes, I'm very familiar with the government's annual funding process and shutdowns. I very much appreciated the unplanned "paid vacations".
As a NASA Contractor, we had to stay under the annual FY funding caps. That often meant delaying progress on satellites and instruments due to funding limitations and leading to very costly over-runs (marching army costs). Shutdowns only exacerbated the problems and increased total project costs.
This shutdown will add tens if not hundreds of billions to the US Deficit/ Debt. Thanks Chuck!
