Disgustus spent the first anniversary of his maladministration holed
up in the 'dump' he calls the White House. It wasn't supposed to be
that way, for he and his henchmen had planned a gala at tRUMP's
Mar-A-Lago resort in Florida, a veritable bribery dinner which cost
those in the cheap seats one hundred thousand dollars per couple and
those seated around the 'captain's table' forking over two hundred
thousand dollars per couple for the benefit of dining with and
hearing the gibberish that continually emanates from the Oracle of
Queens.
Disgustus
was held hostage in Washington because the wheel had come off the
wagon. The Democrats, having grown tired of playing “whack-a-mole”
with the White House had filibustered a continuing resolution to keep
the government funded. A week earlier, in a televised White House
meeting Disgustus assured the assembled lawmakers and the nation that
he would happily sign whatever immigration measure that the Congress
could pass. Accordingly, Senators, Lindsay Graham (R-South
Carolina), and Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) headed up a group that
included Jeff Flake (R-Arizona) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) among
others, producing a bi-partisan plan to meet the urgent needs of the
DACA (see previous posts) recipients as well as significant
compromise provisions concerning an overall immigration overhaul, the
first in nearly 35 years. Durbin called the White House and informed
Disgustus that he had a deal, tRUMP asked if Graham was on board and
was assured he was. Accordingly tRUMP led Durbin to believe that a
deal had been struck, one that would easily pass the Senate and, if
Ryan allows the bill to be voted upon in the House would receive
broad bi-partisan support. Durbin contacted Graham and the two of
them went down Pennsylvania Avenue to meet the 'president'.
Upon
arriving they confronted Disgustus in ill-humor, fresh from a meeting
with White House Counsel Miller and his Chief of Staff Kelly who had
invited Senators Tom Cotton (Rescumlican-Arkansas) and Purdue
(Rescumlican-Georgia) both immigration hard liners. Durbin found
himself having been sandbagged, surrounded by a host of congressional
hard liners and White House staff who, last obtaining Disgustus
attention, blew up the deal. Hours later, C-Span presented us with
the visual spectacle of the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
openly pining that he had no idea what this 'president' wants.
Whereupon business came to a halt.
The
Rescumlican Lie is that the Democrats shut down the government and
moved to interrupt and hold hostage our military. NOT TRUE. Like
everything coming from the RESCUMLICANS this is a bold-faced lie.
Lawrence O'Donnell in his broadcast last night told us the truth,
complete with video from the Senate floor. Immediately following the
vote that sustained the filibuster and forced the shutdown Senator
Claire McCaskill took to the floor and asked for unanimous consent to
fund the military during the crisis, asking to approve the action
without objection whereby Mitch McConnell rose and said: "I
object". Senator Nelson of Florida rose to ask for a continuing
resolution to fund the government for another day so that the
government would run while negotiation continues. Again, McConnell
rose and said, "I object". Senator Tester then rose and
asked for unanimous consent for a continuing resolution to keep the
government open until Monday, again McConnell rose and said: "I
object". Here for all the world to see, McConnell not only shut
down the government but moved to block the payment of our military
creating a crisis in which, thankfully, cooler heads eventually
prevailed. But make no mistake about it. The Rescumlican spin is, as
always, a boldfaced lie. It was McConnell and his Rescumlicans that
shut down the government and McConnell and his Rescumlicans that were
holding the military hostage.
The
nation has become a laughingstock. Recent polls show that confidence
in institutions,
not just political institutions plummeted 37% in the last year,
greatly accelerating a trend that has been decades in the making.
Americans now trust no one, not their law enforcement agencies, not
their religious institutions, not their congress, not their
president; and every day in every way Disgustus defiles whatever he
touches further eroding confidence.
Internationally,
the U.S. Stands one place ahead of Russia and behind China as a
trustworthy and respected presence on the international stage.
Effectively, Disgustus has isolated the United States, making this
country an object of ridicule among nations.
Fearing
the fallout of a 'leader' skipping out of town to hobnob with
billionaires while the government was turning out the lights, the
White House kept their man, however reluctantly, in town. Rumors
quickly spread that he was holed up in 'the dump' alone in bed with
his cheeseburger forcing the White House to release a photograph of
the idiot sitting in the presidential chair looking for all the world
like a tourist who had broken free from the tour group, stole into
the presidential sanctuary striking a pose. “The Acting President”
who can't act.
