TRUMP CAVES (AGAIN)

January 25, 2019 By: El Jefe Category: Shutdown, Trump

Remember that back in June, Trump caved on his cruel and illegal policy of separating children from their parents on the border.  Even though many kids remain separated , the stated strategy of tearing families apart was reversed.  Well, just now, Trump caved again, agreeing to a short term continuing resolution to reopen the government, and it doesn’t include money for his idiotic wall.  What changed?  Public opinion really did start turning as television reports of weeping federal employees hit the air waves.  Then Christopher Wray, director of the FBI, spoke out to all of his employees about how angry he is over the shutdown; the commandant of the Coast Guard spoke out publicly in opposition, and then, the FAA ordered a ground stop this morning at La Guardia airport in New York citing a shortage of controllers to safely move aircraft through our airspace.  Apparently, this was the straw that broke the camel’s back, and the tsunami of opposition to his shutdown FINALLY got through the orange ferret sitting on his head.  And he caved.

Trump is now right back to where he was two weeks before Christmas except that millions of Americans have been injured from his folly and his poll numbers are lower if that was even possible.  Oh, and he lied about how so many federal employees wanted him to keep going on the shutdown which is outrageous.  His “deal” to reopen government is only for 3 weeks.  We’ll see what the Dems do.

The funny thing? Trump did get his wall, and her name is Nancy Pelosi.

 

TRUMP CAVES

A couple of hours ago, Trump finally caved on his idiotic immigration policy that was separating thousands of innocent kids from their parents who were trying to apply for asylum.  Since the beginning of May, over 2,300 children have been ripped from the arms of their parents and been spread all over the country while the parents were randomly jailed elsewhere.  There was apparently NO system to keep track of these children, and the morons running the program for Trump, including Kirstjen Nielson, head of homeland security, were completely clueless how to even run a program like this.  It was a slow motion train wreck, but Trump stubbornly clung to his idiocy until even the mouth breathers in Congress recognized the disaster and backed away from him.

The Trump Desert Sands Tent Resort was a complete disaster, and it came out today that running those tents cost $775 PER NIGHT PER CHILD to house them detained there.  The administration has no clue how they’re going to reunite these families, or where they’re going to house them.

This is just another example of Trump’s Tweet First, Ignore the Consequences style of governing.  He doesn’t have the slightest clue what he’s doing, but we do know one thing.  It’s really stupid for him to follow the advice of his in-house white supremacists to establish policy.

Jesus, what a catastrophe.

There’s a place for Anger, and THIS is it.
