The Schumer-Jeffries Shutdown

The Schumer Jeffries Shutdown

Well it finally happened. The U.S. Government is officially shutdown.

Who’s to blame?

Is it because President Trump had a temper tantrum as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has said? He claims that the democrats weren’t even consulted…….? I guess the meeting with President Trump, Senate Minority Leader Schumer and House Minority Leader Haakim Jeffries or dialog from Senate and House GOP leaders and members doesn’t count?

Or is it something more hideous like President Trump saying – “NO” to what the Democrat Party wants: 

• Open borders 
• ‘Transgender’ for everybody 
• Men competing in women’s sports 
• Crime and lawlessness in our streets 
• Cashless bail policies over the safety and security of our nation

I guess we should let the congressional voting record speak for itself:

House passed without a single democrat voting yes.

Senate failed to pass because only 3 democrats joined the republicans in voting yes to keep the government open. There are just some politicians who give themselves away when they open their mouths to lay the blame on everyone but themselves.

I say their voting record is like their own personal private horse – OWN IT!

Every member of congress who forgot the reason and by whom (voters) they were elected should tender their resignation and go back home to their previous profession, unless of course they had no professional skills to fall back on.

The full consequences of the shutdown are yet to be seen. What we know is that Democrats want to curtail the power of the president by doing the opposite of what he wants them to do. Now what is happening is the authority of congress is passed to the president to eliminate government agencies, eliminate government positions and fire government wasteful, fraudulent or unnecessary employees because their entire agency has been eliminated. Congress can do nothing about it while the government is shutdown.

Instead of voting yes (4+ times = NO), senate democrats have doomed government programs designed to help Americans, Instead of taking the credit (they always want the credit) for good, they must fess up to their own political vengeance that is now affecting the pay of federal employees, military personnel and first responders and more. Even house democrats who voted to shutdown the government have jumped on the bandwagon against the president and assume no responsibility for their actions.

Voters must realize that the democratic party is not their friend, but a very real threat to democracy in that their freedoms are tied to pleasing their political masters. Voters are getting exactly what they are voting for when they vote democrat over and over while expecting a different result. Sadly America as a whole get by what the majority of voters do at the polls and midterm elections are happening now. – RTM
