Reflections From a Murky Pond

The daily, sometimes multiple, reports per day, by the media on the ongoing shutdown of large parts of the federal government, are largely immaterial. The Democrats will not allow the government shutdown to end until one of two things happens – Republicans completely cave in and allow the Dems to make policy through appropriations, thereby reversing legislation made through proper channels; or, October 20th passes. At the earliest, the vote to pass a CR to fund and reopen the government will happen quite late at night on the 20th, but could be postponed to as late as Oct. 24. So, everyone’s probably got 6 – 10 days of this bullshit left.

You see, there’s a big “No Kings” mostly peaceful protest scheduled at the Capitol on October 18th. There’s no way in Hell that the Dems will allow the government to reopen before that’s over. They are well aware of the proclivities of their constituents. The last thing they want to suffer is a new iteration of January 6th, this time by forces that actually embrace violence, especially political violence. In fact, I’m betting most Dem politicians won’t even be at work on that Friday, and could really blame them?

You have to remember that the whole reason for this government shutdown is that these Democrat politicians, especially Schumer of Jeffries, are scared shitless of their constituencies, fully half of which are far-far-far-left sorts. With a bunch of their more radical sorts going to be local on the 18th, the Dems won’t dare end their farce before that’s over.

So, the earliest the federal government will reopen is the 20th, thanks to the Party of Domestic Terrorism.

Never forget that the same Democrats persecuting the albeit stupid patriots of January 6th cheered the rioters and actual insurrectionists of #BlackLivesMatter and #Antifa for months and months and they burned cities, murdered people, raped and pillaged, and planned and carried out a multi-state operation of the assassination of police officers across our country.

Never forgive these Democrats or the ones within the America’s borders who vote for them for this. Never show any of them mercy. Never lend them any form of aid or comfort. Never let the sin of mercy stay your just hand!
