A Government of Fools

That's what we have. The Dumocrats are keeping the government shut down over a bunch of ILLEGAL aliens. Legislation that puts illegal aliens before American citizens! And it's not even an "emergency situation" until March. But they persist in hijacking the money our military and intelligence services NEED in order to keep us safe. After 8 years of Obama's (Dumocrat) "stiffing" the military on the money they NEED, the military is in "iffy" shape. Entire squadrons of warplanes can't fly because of the lack of replacement parts, and they can't buy any because the government is "shut down." The same is true in the case of all their other vehicles and equipment. Meanwhile, our enemies have no such shortages. Now would be a good time for them to commit an overt act, while we have a reduced ability to respond. I hope they don't. But if they do, it falls on the Dumocrats. Many other essential services, such as health insurance for children are involved. To maintain this "shutdown" is CRIMINAL, and ought to be punished. But it won't be. Dumocrat leaders will continue to LIE and say they offered a "reasonable" deal, and were "shut down." But nobody can prove it if there is no recording of what went on in that fateful meeting between Schumer and the president. Schumer says it's the GOP who is holding up paying our troops and giving the military the money they need. But Schumer is a WELL-KNOWN LIAR who shouldn't be believed, even if he admits his glasses at the tip of his nose is an affectation. Update: The Dumocrats caved. the government is now open after he accepted a plan he rejected just before the "shutdown." (Just common sense)
