Next Saturday April 29th is Day 100 in the Trump administration. It is also the last day that the government will be fully financed and functioning. The government will shut down this weekend unless the showdown between whether the White House is going to be able to force another vote on Obamacare repeal or whether the Trump administration shuts down the government and blames it on the Democrats is headed off at the pass. This standoff, if it happens, will be the Trump administration's retort for the spectacular defeat of the Obamacare repeal and the failed coup on Paul Ryan by Steve Bannon, who was frying him in the right wing press for a while until begged (probably by Jared) to cease and desist -- "it's not time to blow up the Republican party just yet, Steve, I'll let you know when it's time. Trust me," Jared probably said or words to that effect.
So the clock is ticking and Trump will have nothing to present on Day 100. Therefore, Plan B will be implemented, and that is to create a theatrical event, namely shut down the government and blame it on the Democrats, who won't approve an insane budget and vote again on Obamacare repeal. This event is geared to appeal to the Trump voter, who wants bread and circus. Now even they will have to admit that shutting down the government might excite and energize Trumps voters who dont have much to celebrate and who wait for guidance. They will be unaware of whats changed around them, but not for long. If the government shuts down the national parks will be closed, the trash will begin to pile up in the streets, business will be strangled; loans won't get approved, passports will go unprocessed, and here's a curve ball, applications for gun permits will be curtailed as well. This could be interesting; the NRA might have an issue with this, but if they did, it would be an issue against their own kind, the Republican regime which has implemented these draconian measures.

Sorry dipshit but your party controls Congress and the Whitehouse. If you don't pass a budget it's your fault.
Maybe your brain dead deplorables will fall for this bullshit but the rest of us won't.

(100,081 posts)That's all conservatives do - they bash us to get elected, bash us when they're in office, don't do anything, and then bash us when we reject their dangerous agenda. And then they don't own up to their mistakes or apologize for anything. We have got to stop this bullshit from happening again.
