Government Shutdown: TLS Certificates Not Renewed, Many Websites Are Down (zdnet.com)
More than 80 TLS certificates used by US government websites have expired so far without being renewed, leaving some websites inaccessible to the public. From a report: NASA, the US Department of Justice, and the Court of Appeals are just some of the US government agencies currently impacted, according to Netcraft. The blame falls on the current US federal government shutdown caused by US President Donald Trump's refusal to sign any 2019 government budget bill that doesn't contain funding for a Mexico border wall he promised during his election campaign. This has resulted in hundreds of thousands of government workers being furloughed across all government agencies, including staff handling IT support and cybersecurity. As a result, government websites are dropping like flies, with no one being on hand to renew TLS certificates.
We need border security for National Security. Obstructionist Democrats can be the one to thank.
This isn't a government shutdown. This is a minority party that gained a slight foothold in one part of the government and immediately used it to shut down the government and is now trying to blame everyone but themselves for the outcome.
The Senate and the President of the United States are ready to reopen the government immediately. It's solely one small part of the government that's refusing to open things. So call it what it is: the Democrat Shutdown.
Trump talked to Pelosi and said he would open government if she were willing to discuss it after government opened.
Pelosi said no.
Then Shumer lied about what happened in the meeting, for some reason forgetting other people were there.
If they REFUSE to even discuss it, and then lie about it, the DNC owns this one.
DNC shitting on US citizens and families of those killed by illegal aliens. More important to get political points, and hundreds of killings are insignificant to them. I bet they don't care because mostly blacks and Hispanics are being killed by the illegals.
This is the DNC platform.
Congratulations
PS: Wasn't Mexico going to pay for this?
If that was ever funny, it stopped being so long ago.
We want border control. Call Trump whatever you want, be a little comedian if you want, we don't care.
The failure of all the respectabiggles to do anything about border control and excess immigration led directly to Trump. If the respectable politicians won't do anything about it, eventually the public will turn to un-respectable politicians.
The worse Trump is in your eyes, the worse your favored politicians actually are. Because Trump was a better choice than any of them. You damn them more than you do Trump.
If a clown is better than your best, it's not the clown's fault.
"caused by US President Donald Trump's refusal to sign any 2019 government budget bill that doesn't contain funding for a Mexico border wall" No, caused by liberal democrats & Rino's that don't care about the safety & security of the American people, while THEY live behind gated walls & secure locations.
Amazing, you're an idiot.
America ELECTED Trump. That's a fact. B-b-but he didn't get the popular v - STFU! The election of the President in the US has always been, for 200+ years, by electoral college which Trump won in a large majority even after a massive Democrat campaign to overturn the results by trying to force the electors to not vote for him.
It was also NOT an "appalling low turnout" as it was statistically above the average turnout for all elections and had the largest RAW count of votes EVER.

But hey, I'm sure the rest of your posts are just as accurate.
Maybe they saw what a failure the fence was an decided that something different was needed.
I'd rather have leaders who learn from their mistakes than ones that double down on them.

You're an irredeemable moron.
As usual, shut the fuck up about politics, since you always show yourself to be a phenomenally stupid motherfucker when it comes to politics, and stick to technology, where you actually are usually well informed and come off as intelligent.

If Trump promised anything at all in 2016, he clearly promised he'd build a wall. He *does* in fact have a mandate to do this, whether you agree with it or not.
Trump failed to gain the popular vote so he, in fact, does not have a mandate for anything in his platform.
The Democrats, and the majority of Americans, don't support the wall.
What are you talking about? A recent poll showed that 67% of Americans support the wall. A very small minority, around 15%, oppose it. The rest don't care. The Wall is incredibly popular.
behaviour.
Ah, a foreigner, that explains it.
Would you be supportive of immigration controls that are effective, such as random ID checks and fines for employers of illegal immigrants?
Besides, even if it's not perfect, a one-time $5 billion is peanuts compared to the cost of hosting illegal immigrants. Even the liberal politifact says the costs is between $43 to $279 billion per year. Over the lifetime of the wall, which is probably 20 years or more, that's 0.0008% to 0.005%.
So the wall only has to be 0.005% effective to save us money, which it certainly will be. Heck, even Trump's rhetoric about building the wall is more than 0.005% effective.
