Shut it down. Leave it shut down.

PDJT has pledged to shut down the government if he doesn’t get 5 billion for the wall.  Do it.  Shut it down.  Make an Oval Office speech announcing the shutdown.

During the speech, run the tape of a long list of prominent Demo-Dope hypocrites heralding the need for a barrier on the southern border.  Ask what has changed since they made those statements. 

During the speech, run the tapes of Angel Mom’s whose children’s’ lives were snuffed out by illegals.  Ask Chuck and Nancy why they want to put illegal aliens ahead of American citizens. 

Explain just how little money 5 billion dollars is out of a 4 trillion dollar budget. Then scroll a list of the wasteful things the government spends money on with the price tags for each. 

Juxtapose the 40 year old mohair subsidy and the millions spent putting shrimp on a treadmill and the other nonsensical government spending with the necessity of a wall.

Tell Chuck and Nancy if they insist on Mexico paying for the wall, note that the renegotiation of NAFTA technically did exactly that.  Then note that he’ll be happy to sign a bill that taxes remittances back to Mexico of legal and illegal immigrants at 15% until the 5 billion is returned to the treasury.  

If possible, arrange interest-free government loans for the amount of wages lost (really just delayed) for government workers furloughed due to the shutdown. This is tricky, because the government is sooooo incompetent.  Anyone who takes advantage of the loan would be made to sign an allotment that would return the money the day past wages are refunded to the employee.      

Tell Chuck and Nancy to give him a call if they ever come to their senses and want to put America first.  “Chuck, Nancy, this is now your shutdown.  Give me a call when you want to settle this thing.”  Wish everyone a Merry Christmas very publicly leave Caligula, D.C. for Mar a Logo for the holidays. 

#NEVERTRUMP government azzbags target PDJT’s children
And why not?  Boob Nifong Mueller went after Mike Flynn’s kid and got the general to flip.  During a security clearance interview one time the guy told me, “Everyone’s got a point that they will cooperate with the enemy.  What’s yours?”  I protested that I didn’t really think that that I could be bought.  That’s when he said, “What if they threatened your family?”  Holy sh*t. That’s a problem.  I told the guy that I’d report it to authorities and trust my family would be protected.  The guy said that those were good answers, but he still insisted that everyone had a price.

Well what’s happening to PDJT’s team is their families are being threatened and the threat is from the government itself.  So who can the threat be reported to?  The cops are all dirty.

No matter how much money you have, what the government is doing to Flynn et al the definition of “helpless.”  These guys have the weight of a never ending investigation funded by tax payer dollars coming down on them.

Where do you go to get relief under those circumstances?

Today’s JG rant
RE the JG editorial “Civility, cooperation themes in Donnelly’s DC farewell”

Yes let’s all give Mexico Joe Donnelly a pat on the back for his “bipartisan nature.” By all means. Like the time Donnelly called out his own party in general and Diane Feinstein in particular for its sub-human behavior during the Kavanaugh hearing. 

Donnelly truly was a profile in courage during that entire debacle.  Ha! The fact is that Donnelly was slug hiding under a rock throughout the entire process. He lost his reelection bid.  He deserved to lose.  Good riddance.    

Civility, cooperation themes in Donnelly's DC farewell

The big news out of Washington, D.C., Tuesday was that a meeting in the Oval Office with President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and Democratic leaders Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Chuck Schumer had somehow turned – hold onto your hats – rancorous.  All of them could have learned something from the farewell speech by Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Indiana, that same day.  

Reflecting on his three terms in the U.S. House and his single term in the Senate, Donnelly reminded his colleagues that they can accomplish more by finding consensus.

“In my 12 years in the Capitol, I've prided myself on the relationships I've built, on the bipartisan nature of them, on working together,” Donnelly said. “Our focus has been, how do we make life better.”

In last month's election, Republican Mike Braun handily defeated Donnelly, who was criticized for supposedly not getting more done. But that was a criticism better directed at Congress as a whole. Donnelly was one of those rare lawmakers who preferred civility and cooperation to party-line bickering, as the Lugar Center's Bipartisan Index consistently showed.

After listing issues that concerned him most – the opioid crisis, health care, veterans and the deficit – Donnelly concluded by reminding his colleagues whom it is they work for.

“Our country is filled with hardworking, decent people,” he said,  “who just want us to do common-sense things.”
