We are in the midst of a government shutdown.The pain thrust upon government workers, coast to coast, is mounting everyday.
These people are being held HOSTAGE by the whims of a madman and his racist vanity project.
They DO NOT CARE about the pain being put on these workers.
It’s obvious.
Here’s your greatest hits in callousness from yesterday:

After telling the press that federal workers are "volunteering" by continuing to come to work without pay, a reporter calls out Larry Kudlow's incorrect assessment and he fumbles further, saying they are working without pay out of respect for the presidency and Trump. pic.twitter.com/ofN3unRVSY

Donald Trump, defending Wilbur Ross, says government workers not receiving a paycheck because of the #TrumpShutdown can simply convince their local grocery stores to “work along” with them. pic.twitter.com/bIvu2CJxHb

I have to ask…..
WITH WHAT MONEY?? 😡😡😡
Senator Bennett of Colorado has HAD IT!!
He had time yesterday👏👏
And here’s the latest extortion demands:
So the offer now is that we give Trump his wall funding and he pays TSA and the Coast Guard for 21 days? And then when we build more wall, he pays them for another 21 days? Like a never ending installment plan?
What a great deal for America!

We are in desperate need of donations for a program we just launched targeting the lowest income feds with micro grants for groceries, gas, diapers, etc. Donations can be made here.
Here is the description of the program.

I still think about people who said. “I prayed about the election and let God lead me. I voted for Trump.”
They’re trying to use God and prayer as a shield against the truth. They knowingly voted for a bigot and con man because they wanted to vote for a bigot.

My youngest brother works for Boeing in Washington State. I talked to him about an hour ago. He told me that one of his co-workers told him that he’s through with Trump and called Trump ignorant, said that Trump has messed up our government, and that it will take years to get it back on track. I imagine there are millions that voted for Trump who are now having “come to Jesus” moments. My brother and I agreed that some that voted for Trump really thought he was the actor they watched on “The Apprentice.” [BTW: I hate reality TV programs.] I blame them for their gullibility and for not doing the necessary research to find out he was an unethical, ignorant, immoral, authoritarian-minded, selfish prick before they voted for him. Whenever I’d read about someone connected to Trump’s campaign, I started research on them. I knew they weren’t ”the best” persons for the job when Trump repeatedly made the claim in 2016 and I knew about their ties to Russia, but those who voted for him didn’t know or didn’t care. If they’re disappointed with him or pissed at him now, it’s their own d@mn fault that they fell for the world’s biggest shyster and conman.
I have never liked him. EVER! He helped railroad the Central Park Five. Fugg him forever.

5/ A “high-ranking Trump campaign official” is described later in the indictment having contact with Stone through intermediaries about the WikiLeaks hacked emails. One of those emails was previously published by @nytimes and they identified the official as Steve Bannon.
