Trump selectively and illegally opening only politically useful pieces of my government and having unfilled administrative posts and unconfirmed cabinet secretaries is looking less hamfisted and more authoritarian by the day.
Excellent! Contingency plans should the govt. be shutdown into Feb. Love a govt. that can plan ahead and also not give the Rethugs in the Senate a reason to be turncoats to try to restart the shutdown.
Well, now, doesn’t that make everyone feel better?
We can stave off nutritional issues for another couple of weeks.
I guess that makes the shutdown far less of a crisis for the right wing, huh?
Well, at least the children will continue to eat while the leaders in the capital try to figure out a way to keep the lights on. Are furloughed federal employees eligible?
Lots of the GOP Base are on stamps.
If this keeps up, lots more will be needing that program and more!
LibtRds will now NeeD to work foR Their LoBtser And fiLit mignon noW thAt goverNment won’t pAy.
And the GOP farmers need the sales, now that Trump wrecked their foreign trade.
Glad to see you again.
Yup. If it were only inner city kids who were gonna eat, there’s no way this would have been taken care of.
“This is a humanitarian crisis — a crisis of the heart and a crisis of the soul.”
But it’s centered in the Oval Office, not the Southern Border of the United States.
So dudes will continue to enjoy their lobster?
Day 19 of the shut down - which trump threatens could go on for months or years - they are just now trying to scramble to prevent the most egregious pain to be inflicted by the shutdown. Implicitly, are they not actually admitting that Govt does matter, that it does provide essential services?
One more nail in the historical marker being created by their actions and inactions that will say: Here lies the lies that undergirded the worst President and Administration in U.S. history.
The reality is that Drumpf will be known as the worst president in U.S. history.
Worse than Harding
Worse than Buchanan
I don’t give a damn whether Drumpf believes it or not. Any more than I care whether or not a mental patient believes that Nashville is west of Denver.
The world just IS.
Yeah, on food stamps and at the same time screaming for smaller government at Trump rallies. The incoherence is deafening.
Exactly… wants to make less pain for his base as well as ensures folks like the Walton family will not turn. Expect much more of this.
OK, but are there any government employees still working to issue the food stamps?
