Reflections From a Murky Pond

Democrats, out of power and popularity, are once again resorting to extortion. Give them $1.2 trillion, mostly for healthcare spending, or they’ll shut down the federal government. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) are the ringleaders of this doomed bit of racketeering.

However, don’t think that either Schumer or Jeffries really cares about the healthcare spending. They don’t in any meaningful way or amount. This is 100% of “standing up to President Trump” to salvage some level of support from their waning base. Understand, their base is the same people who’ve decided that assassinations are good and who’ve demanded that their politicians adopt extreme measures to “Stop Trump.”

They’re stupid, though. Trying to use brinksmanship and the Bluff Charge against President Trump is both the depth of stupidity and the height of hubris. Those are literally two of the cornerstones of Trump’s entire business model, and they think that they can do it better?

The various Libtard Leftists and other likely Democrats are making a big deal about the government shutdown – as if it’s something both horrific and unprecedented… and, of course, something to blame upon President Trump. The funny thing, and what proves their real reason for complaining, is that such shutdowns have been a reasonably common occurrence since President Ford’s time.

Ah well, it’s not as if our domestic enemies are sane or that Americans should particularly care about their whining.
