If you had any doubts about who is running the Democratic party these days, it is not Democrats per se. Yes, they are in the party, but most of them are not in elected office. They are the monsters the elected Democrats created, hatched over decades from the White Towers, kept warm by white hate and identity politics, nurtured on Marxist multicultural globalism.
Their first words are I hate Donald Trump.
Yes, the lunatics run the Democrat asylum, which is not news until it is. According to Maine Democrat Jared Golden,
“This government shutdown is the result of hardball politics driven by the demands far-left groups are making for Democratic Party leaders to put on a show of their opposition to President [Donald] Trump,” Golden said in a statement on Oct. 1. “The shutdown is hurting Americans and our economy, and the irony is it has only handed more power to the president.”
You may be nodding your head yes, because this seems not just likely but obvious. Earlier this year, Schumer defied internal pressure and external outrage. He caved on the CR in whose wake he was forced to deal with calls to primary him out of office.
This time around, there was bipartisan support for a clean seven-week CR but not enough votes to get it over the hump. Democrats, waylaid by the fringe left, likely responded to the barrage of forceful emails and phone calls from overweight, purple-haired, weirdos who used to work at the US Department of State. Or people like them.
If I can’t get GLP-1s on prescription? No one shall!
Fear of potential primaries from their left seems as likely a threat as any, especially after what happened to Schumer. It is an interesting problem. What if enough Democrats were fine with a clean CR, given the time left to address their so-called priority under regular order, but leadership was frightened into whipping them the other way?
The clean CR failed, and now they are making the case that it was about healthcare, when that could have easily been addressed in the DHHS budget without shutting down the government.
Immigration concerns? DHS has a budget where you could work on that problem. In fact, since not one of the twelve department budgets has been passed, there isn’t a single thing Democrats closed the government down over that they were not going to get the opportunity to debate in the next few weeks.
Given that cold, hard reality, we’d be right to suspect that it wasn’t about healthcare (or anything else) at all but about not having to openly debate whatever it was they claimed was “so important it couldn’t wait a week or three.
Ram it into a CR and then blame Republicans for not letting them do that. And then blame Republicans for shutting down the government when it was Democrats, intimidated by the Far left.
The only thing Republicans are responsible for is trying to bring back sensible, transparent budgets, and – thanks to the Far-Left, the opportunity the shutdown created to openly discuss what it was Democrats shut the government down over.
Nothing.
