War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Yeah sure. The Democrat filth in the Senate are “outraged” over SNAP being unfunded due to their Shutdown. Uh huh. Not, mind you, outraged enough to pass the same clean CR that’s been put in front of them at least 13 times as of this post’s publication.
By Their Own Admission, They “Need” The Leverage
Yeah, they’re like that these days. Between their own Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) and that of the farther-left portion of the Democrat party, these filth are in open rebellion against America. I actually believe that they want some number of their constituents – preferably some children – to die.

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.

I’d feel sorry for Sen Chuck Schumer (D-NY) if he hadn’t brought this whole thing down upon his own head. The crybaby tried to play hardball and “stand up to Trump” – even though his self-appointed enemies in this case are Republican Senators and Congressmen – by shutting down large swaths of the federal government unless Republican Senators and President Trump capitulated to the Dems’ irrational demands. And now, the poor fool is finding out just how unpopular his actions were and are… among those who actually even care about it at all.
Even Almost Half Of Democrats Are Against This Shutdown
But then, this is what happens when a politician is only concerned with keeping their job instead of properly doing their job. Crying Chuck is terrified of being primaried and ousted by the further-left elements in his party, a “risk” that is exacerbated by Schumer being from NY, one of the areas where that sort is concentrated. He’s terrified that AOC – who will neither confirm nor deny that she was his Senate seat – will win in a primary election against him unless he does what her wing of their party demands.

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.
