RUMP will keep shutdown forever SO

I feel the answer to this is to go after McConnell!!!! That is the answer to this! He is the ONLY person protecting RUMP. In my mind McConnell is the key to this shutdown! Somehow we have to divide and conquer the RETHUGS!!!!!

5. We have to target gop senators

Mcconnell isn’t going to budge unless his leadership is in jeopardy. I don’t know if the senate can just switch leaders in a sumple vote or if some republicans would have to caucus with democratic senators temporarily to make that hapoen.

It’s absolutely unheard of and very unlikely but may be our best shot of applying pressure.

Short of that, I’m afraid something catastrophic will have to happen. At some point losing their pension will be less of a problem than not having a paycheck and there will he a mass exodus that shuts down air travel.

Financial markets could also apply pressure. The problem is that will also be slow and the damage will not be repaired simply by reopening the government. Investors have to ask if the US remains a stable place to invest if we can’t keep the government open.

If the government ceases to function then it’s all over. But the question is, will the miltary sit back and be ok with this? I just wonder what they are saying in the pentagon at the orange maggot?

THe USA will become part o the new USSR under Putin.

I know that McConnell is a russian puppet. (i cannot prove this) But how do we (the DEMS.) get some RETHUGS to see really what is at stake here for our country's future? THAT is what we have to accomplish. I CANNOT believe ALL of the RETHUGS are involved in this.
