To be honest, I don’t believe the democrat party could do any more damage to themselves if they bunker bombed themselves.

Last week was yet another banner week for the DNC as their catastrophic collapse continued unabated, in full view of the entire world. Seriously, it was one dumpster fire after the next, and rather than bringing buckets of water to put out the flames, they brought barrels of gasoline and fans.

Let’s start with the government shutdown, which lasted a record 43 days. For the first 36 days, the liberals claimed that they had nothing whatsoever to do with shutting down the government. They blamed Republicans, and more specifically, President Trump. Never mind that they had 14 opportunities to reopen the government by simply voting for the clear continuing resolution which would have kept all aspects of the government up and running at the exact same levels as before the shutdown…they voted, very publicly against reopening the government.

Not only that, but they claimed that it was the Republicans, and more specifically President Trump who were blocking SNAP benefits from reaching people in need of assistance. Ummmm…again, not true. Had the liberals in the senate simply voted in favor of the clean continuing resolution, SNAP benefits would have rolled right along. Naturally, the liberals CLAIMED that Trump was intentionally STARVING people, but they failed to produce one single starving SNAP benefited American to prove their false allegation.

Sure, the liberal media tried to play it up as they parroted the false allegations and they even interviewed like-mindless liberals in grocery stores whining about not getting their monthly freebies, but none of the people they managed to find looked like they had missed a meal in years. It really doesn’t help to illustrate your allegations when those who you attempt to turn into the poster-children for mass starvation obviously have never pushed themselves away from the kitchen table.

Thanks to liberals highlighting SNAP and drawing more attention to it, Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins says the agency will now reform the SNAP program to eliminate waste and fraud…something liberals are going to hate. If I could add input into this, I would suggest that every single person currently receiving SNAP benefits needs to reapply to be vetted for proof of U.S. citizenship among other things to determine their true eligibility and needs.

To make matters even worse for themselves, the same liberals who had been claiming for 36 days that the shutdown was all Trump’s fault, spent the final 7 days of the shutdown whining that shutting down the  government was, “the only leverage” they had.

Leverage for what? Trying to blackmail congressional Republicans into providing FREE healthcare for ILLEGAL ALIENS to the tune of $1.5 TRILLION dollars while American citizens are seeing their health insurance rates climb into the stratosphere.

When Obamacare started, we tried to tell them that this was going to happen, that Obamacare would soon collapse, that premiums would skyrocket and that care would be substandard, and it’s not they were too butt-stupid to realize it, it was that the plan all along was to create a system by which a socialist healthcare system would become the ONLY available alternative so that people, whether they wanted it or not would be forced to become reliant on the government.

The liberals call Trump a dictator, but only one president has ever passed a law that forces people to purchase something on the threat of massive fines or even going to jail if they didn’t, and that president was Barack Hussein Obama.

Meanwhile, the Republicans, at President Trump’s direction, are putting together a package that would essentially do away with Obamacare once and for all and replace it with something American citizens may well find much, MUCH more affordable than the UNAFFORDABLE Care Act. That plan could well include sending healthcare subsidies directly to the people, rather than funneling it through insurance companies so that people could buy their own coverage thus investing in themselves rather than the government investing in insurance companies which has resulted in insurance companies gaining better than 1000% in the stock market.

The reason liberals will hate the idea is because the government will no longer be able to dictate healthcare costs or quality of care received…but they have nobody to blame but themselves because they put Obamacare in the spotlight by manufacturing the shutdown to extort free healthcare for illegal aliens. Republicans should draft the new legislation, force a midnight vote and tell the liberals that to find out what’s in the bill…first they’ll have to pass the bill.

They say sunlight is the best disinfectant, and the liberal’s own actions regarding the government shutdown didn’t only shine the light of truth on the sham of Obamacare, it left the liberals in congress feeling like ants under a magnifying glass on a sidewalk on a sunny July day.

Last Wednesday, it became clear that the shutdown, the liberal manufactured shutdown had come to an end as handful of democrats in the senate, and 8 in the house finally decided to vote to OPEN the government back up, which caused another dumpster fire for the liberals.

They had held the country hostage for 43 days. They tried to extort free healthcare for illegal aliens out of the congressional Republicans for 43 days. They had blamed Trump, made false claims of starvation and swore they wouldn’t give up, or give in. Chuckles Schumer for decades had preached against shutting down the government…until this time…because the fate of freebies for illegal aliens were at stake. Last Wednesday, Schumer caved, ordered the least vulnerable members of his party’s senators and congress members to go ahead and cast their votes to reopen the government. And what did Schumer get for all of his, and his party’s attempts at extortion?

Zip. Zilch. ZERO.

Quick…bring in the dumpster fire brigade with more barrels of gas and a few more fans…Trump won the shutdown battle and liberals need a new scapegoat.

What we have now is the lunatic socialist bordering on communist wing of the democrat party waging war against the few in their party that have one marble left and a modicum of common sense. Chuckles is now that scapegoat. The lunatic fringe of his own party are screaming for Schumer to be removed as the Senate Minority Leader, but they have advanced not a single name as a replacement, and time is not their friend. Why so? Because the funding now in place to keep the government operating is set to again run out in just over a month, near the end of December.

Then what?

Well, then we face the real possibility of shutdown 2.0…that’s what. It seems unlikely, highly unlikely that the elected liberal lunatics will back away from their obsession of providing free healthcare to illegal aliens, otherwise known as a liberal voting bloc, or at the very least, warm bodies for census takers that could lead to more seats I the House. It’s just as highly unlikely that elected Republicans, save the minute number of usual suspects like Masse and Rand Paul will budge from having nothing to do with extending free healthcare to illegal aliens. As my favorite senator, John Kennedy said last week, “The short answer is no. The long answer is HELL no.”

So let’s just say, for the sake of argument, that the loudest liberal lunatics get their way and kick Chuckles Schumer out of his “leadership” position and replace him with some total socialist…like Bernie Sanders…what does that really do for them? Nothing. The anti-oligarch oligarch brings nothing new to the table, their obtuse and false arguments have already been exposed, and it could be yet another stalemate unless…one particular thing happens over the next few weeks.

President Trump has already made it well known that he wants the Senate filibuster ash-caned. It’s the filibuster that requires 60 votes in the Senate to pass anything, but without it, a simple majority is all that’s needed. Yes, I understand there are possible downsides to 86ing the filibuster, liberal gun control leaps to mind, but let’s be honest here…should the liberals regain control of the senate, and at some point they will, it won’t be by a bullet-proof majority and they WILL crap-can the filibuster immediately anyway.

If Senate Majority Leader, John Thune from South Dakota wants to avoid yet another hostage situation, he’ll take Trump’s advice and kill the filibuster while it will do the America First Agenda some good, and include in the new appropriations bill a total and complete end to ALL green energy subsidies while diverting that money into finding a cure for Trump Derangement Syndrome.

If all of that wasn’t enough self-inflicted mayhem for liberals last week, they had one more dumpster fire in them, and for this one, they siphoned off the petroleum reserve and brought in a couple of hurricane fans to help spread the flames.

The Epstein files.

In an effort to deflect attention away from their shutdown shutout, liberals released a scant few pages of Epstein files to try and paint President Trump as a pedophile…and it blew up in their face…immediately.

Just hours before the vote to end the shutdown, liberals released a couple of pages of the “Epstein Files” containing an email written by Epstein himself in which he said that Trump had spent hours with…”VICTIM.” The name was redacted by the liberals in an effort to falsely manufacture the notion that Trump had a nefarious encounter with one of Epstein’s under aged girls and started screaming for the release of ALL the “Epstein Files” Well, the Republicans had already seen the UNREDACTED version and they quickly let it be known, far and wide that “VICTIM” was, in fact, the now deceased Virginia Giuffre, who had testified UNDER OATH that she never saw Trump do anything wrong AND that in the time she spent talking to him, he was a PERFECT GENTLEMAN.

As to the screaming from the lunatic liberals to release all the “Epstein Files,” the Republicans called their bluff and held a vote to do just that…and what happened? Well, the House liberals quickly BLOCKED the bid to hold a quick vote to the release of said files.

House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters Wednesday night that he will bring a bill to release the Jeffrey Epstein files to the floor sometime this week…a move, that if successful, will put even more farm-fresh egg on the faces of liberals, and if the liberals again try to block that vote, the resulting dumpster fire will rival the Hindenburg BBQ.

Well, at least the liberal nut-cases still have men pretending to be women being allowed to compete against women in sports…right? Not so fast. The International Olympic Committee last week made a major move towards a blanket ban on such nonsense.

In other words, at least in the Olympics, there will soon be no nuts allowed in women’s competition.

It’s just one liberal dumpster fire after another.
