USA Government Shutdown.....
« on: January 20, 2018, 02:59:27 pm »


Updated Jan. 20, 2018

"The federal government failed to pass a spending bill Friday night, causing the first government shutdown since 2013. This process will complicate many lives — those of federal workers and the millions of Americans who rely on them. Here are the answers to questions you might have about how the shutdown could affect you or your neighbor."

And all this takes place on the 1st year anniversary, of the trump administration.

We can only hope that The Robert Mueller investigation, can bring the downfall of this narcissistic, misogynist, and racist, bigot, moron, dotard and chief. And perhaps jail some of the corrupt Trump family members, along with Manafort, Rick Gates, George Papadopoulos,and Michael Flynn

It amazes me ,   As a nation controlled by Republican House and a Republican  senate and a republican president, that they can still blame the Democrats for this shutdown.

I am PROUD of the Democrats standing their ground, and and those Republicans, standing with the Democrats, that feel the same way.


TRUMP owns this shutdown . Period !! This man-child is unfit to be the President of the United States. While trump was getting deferment for bone spurs, a few short years afterwords I was being drafted into the U.S. Army.

He ( trump is such a coward).


Happy anniversary DONALD !  You own it,and we will all remember this in the 2018 elections !

I have to stop now,  My blood pressure is going up !!!  >:(

PS,...

I ordered HIV medication refill today from the VA. I;ll see how soon they get refilled.

Fortunately, I have about a 6 months supply.

I also have two appts, scheduled at the VA, on the 29th. One of those is for Dermatology, the other is for an aortic and abdominal ultrasound.  Will let you all know, if there is a schedule change, due to the shutdown.

Bannon is singing in Mueller's ear, once Trumpy's illegal financial dealings are exposed the walls will come crashing in. I just hope it's sooner than latter before he does any more damage.

There will be a lot of careers ending when it does, I hope never to see Paul Ryan's or Mitch McConnell's face again after they are voted out.
