What if they gave a government shutdown and nobody showed up?

And just how seriously stupid are the Democrats? AOC was out saying she’s ready to negotiate with the GOP at any time…did she forget she’s in the House that already passed the budget bill and thus has no further say in the matter? Its an even money chance that she doesn’t know how our government works…I mean the legislative process. After all, she’s only there to exercise power and grab money…you think she spent any time reading Robert’s Rules of Order? Heck, I wonder what her reading level is? She was born in 1989 which means she attended school from approximately 1994 to 2006…and New York education levels have been substandard (even by today’s dumbed-down standards) for a while. There’s a real chance that if you read to her:

11. A Main or Principal Motion is a motion made to bring before the assembly, for its consideration, any particular subject. It takes precedence of nothing — that is, it cannot be made when any other question is before the assembly; and it yields to all Privileged, Incidental, and Subsidiary Motions — that is, any of these motions can be made while a main motion is pending. Main motions are debatable, and subject to amendment, and can have any subsidiary motions applied to them.

She’d just stare blankly at you for a minute, call Trump a fascist and then demand Medicare for All. We’re dealing with very stupid people who haven’t the foggiest notion of how the world works but are at the same time dead certain they are right about everything and their opponents (us) are pure evil. Its a toxic stew.

We’d pity Chuck Schumer if he hadn’t spent his entire career being a vile liar enriching his cronies while America fell apart…he’s looking over his shoulder at a possible AOC primary challenge and realizes that he hasn’t got a chance against her. He’s vastly better educated and far more intelligent but in order to advance his interests, he allowed people like AOC to take control of the Democrat base…and if he doesn’t drive off AOC’s cliff, he’s doomed.

Team Trump – apparently with the cooperation of the Congressional GOP – is preparing a series of moves which will gut the Deep State…huge numbers of terminations and reorganizations to get rid of the last of the people sabotaging MAGA from within. And there’s nothing the Democrats can do about it – in fact, they are quite out of their depth right now as they learn we simply don’t care what they say. Call us racists and fascists and meanies and what have you…we know we’re not and we’re not interested in surrendering just to get you to stop calling us Nazis for 24 hours. The Democrats had their chance to come to the table and get something prior to the shutdown…now they get to twist in the wind as polling shows the people blaming them for it and their demands for a budget bill are horrifically unpopular.

Investigations in Minnesota are revealing massive immigration fraud – like half the people looked at committed at least some form of fraud to get and/or stay here. This is the sort of thing we need to do…especially to break up these concentrations of foreigners who are taking over segments of the USA and turning them into foreign enclaves…abodes of hostile people seeking our destruction and, worst of all, doing it with stolen taxpayer money. I’ve been saying that everyone who has come in over the past few decades needs to be looked at, and this is why. You don’t get millions of people illegally into the country by accident…to move that many takes a massive logistical support system and the people who provide logistic support for human trafficking aren’t altruists…they’re gangsters who want to get paid, and keep getting paid. My bet is the price for a ticket to the USA was (and remains) quite high and the people sent in have to pay – not only a cut out of any legitimate income they earn, but as much welfare as they can siphon off. I’ve noticed here in Vegas that the beggars seem quite organized…it usually isn’t some drug addled bum with his “will work for food” sign trying to cage the price of meth or booze…it is now more and more an obvious foreigner working shifts on particular street corners gathering whatever is tossed from a car window…I don’t give to such people. In the past, I’d drop a buck or even a fiver on the bum even though I knew it was for drink…these new people are probably kicking back to the cartels to pay for the price of passage.

    The deliecious irony is that, by their intrangisence, the Dems are giving Trump more power while at the same time reducing their own power and making the majority of Americans angry at them. It doesn’t get much better than that.

      And Trump is force into the public mind how it really works – Democrats started running with their lie that none of the federal money goes on healthcare for illegals…but now, due to Team Trump messaging, it is getting in there that that the reason California and New York can pay for illegals is because of the federal money…without it, the programs they have for illegals couldn’t be funded. JD Vance explicitly and simply explained how money is fungible. This is turning into a PR disaster for the Democrats.

    Dems don’t even expect to be taken seriously any more. Hakeem Jeffries, responding to criticism from moving away from AIPIC to J Street, “defended” himself by saying “In response to criticism about his ties to AIPAC, Jeffries defended himself by “pointing out that influential music figures have publicly supported him”.

    But what about Sesame Street, Hakeem? What does Big Bird say? Though of course with “influential music figures” in the bag who really cares?

      I sense that the Donkeys are lost. The majority doesn’t like their message and no longer believes their lies, and they don’t seem to have anyone in leadership that comprehends that. Too bad, so sad!
