In theory, I knew it was coming, but honestly had no idea of the date. Save for posting one item on FB (my Akron run), I have pretty much avoided social media, and reading a newspaper might make me break out into hives..............or self harm.
The GOP has the White House, the house House and the Senate. Oh - and the Supreme Court.
How in the fucking world did they not have the votes to avoid a shut down??
Ohhhhhh......that's right. They didn't want to avoid. And I'm betting that they're blaming the dems for the impasse. It's a tried an true tactic and with this administration it will work. Nothing - and so far, NOTHING - sticks to them.
BLOTUS has been vocal that if there is a shut down he'll start firing Federal workers. I'm about 100% certain they will be ones who haven't pledeged some kind of allegiance to this administration.
Get rid of the naysayers on the payroll and you have an easier path to your full dictatorship. The GOP is using this shut down (should that be one word?) to use more and more marionette strings to manipulate its inhabitants.
And yes, this is what I believe to be true.
Again, I think my shrink thinks I'm nuts, but I'll give him this, he doesn't show it in his facial reactions. Or lack thereof.
I have heard no chatter on this shutdown (see, one word this time) and its intended length.
With 25 days until the Marine Corps Marathon, I suspect should this go on too long, the event will be cancelled. Many of the areas of said run are on US Park land. If the government is shut down, so are the parks.
Between my hip fracture last year and this fissure of a cunt-ry, it seems I might not be destined to ever run this race.
Maybe someone is trying to tell me something.
(and seriously - how much $$$ do you think the government spent on Shutdown / Closed signs? )
