Guest Post by Not Sure
It’s becoming clear to me the fight for funding for the wall is about much more than the just the wall. The fight is about gaining the upper hand and the political power to impeach the president of The United States. The government shutdown is going to be used either by the president to expose the hypocrisy of the democrats to the American people to finally end the witch hunt, or by the democrats and the media to humiliate the president by turning the public against him. It’s on.
The NYT has finally published the story about the weaponizing of the alphabet agencies to go after the president, with the maximum amount of deception and spin to make it look like the investigation into Russian collusion was warranted. The president seems about ready to drop the bombshell of unredacted FISA transcripts and other documents to offer the evidence and facts that will finally expose the criminal activities of the previous administration.
If you have been watching the battle between Trump and the deep state unfold, it is becoming obvious all the cards will be put on the table soon and the citizens will now determine the outcome; either the majority of the people will demand justice or the majority of the people will roll with the media and demand impeachment. I don’t believe the can can be kicked much further down the road; it’s time to put up or shut up.
The country is about to be shaken to its core and the fate of the nation hangs in the balance. The fat lady is about to sing and one way or another, America will not be the same as it was before the government shutdown began. The outcome will determine how much influence the democrats will have going forward and how strongly the American people stand with the president. For good or bad, things are about to change.
This is a lot to digest at the crack of dawn, but I hope you are right. It’s time for Trump to release all the documents.

It reminds me of Maggie’s old joke that included the line – the last guy vomited.
There is another factor which could see the wall issue come to an unresolved conclusion ( how’s that for an oxymoron?).
If the economy really slows down, unemployment filings start shooting up and the markets take a truly significant plunge–Trump may back down. There are hundreds of thousands of federal workers, many living paycheck to paycheck, who are gonna start to hurt–also possibly millions in related fields with govt contracts who might not be getting paid.
Trump has been crowing throughout and owned the economy–whether he is responsible for either the govt shutdown or the economy, or neither, he will be blasted and have all of the economic miseries of millions on his head.
Will his ego, when it comes to things financial/economic, be able to handle the pressure of a possible meltdown or will he cave and re-open govt without funding for a secure southern border?
I don’t feel sorry for these govt employees. They’ll get retroactive pay when it should only be unemployment compensation. They make more money than the private sector and can’t be fired, yet can’t seem to save one dime for hard times. For many it’s just a paid vacation from a job they do poorly anyhow. The most suffering on this shutdown is likely the porn websites because the government employees fear their wives more than job loss. So I say -. ” Fuckem”
The real danger to the government employees is that citizens realize most of them are worthless seat warmers, unneeded.
Yes, it shows these agencies and these employees aren’t needed. The departments should be permanently closed and the employees should find a real job in the private sector.
The government shut down will affect the economy until it won’t. What I am saying is the government is too big so shutting down part of it is no big thing. Getting back to normal before government got so big means people taking responsibility for their own life.
TSA shut down: Let airports take responsibility for their own security.
In a round about way the president is downsizing the government. What a way for it to happen! The democratic party are cutting their own throats.
I once lived with a lady named Dawn.. Yeah I woke up to that crack…
Mine was just a wisecrack, nkit.
Ever try surimi? It tastes like 18 year old pussy. Old Pangloss
Ever try Ripple, it tastes like 18 year old butt crack….or so I heard. 🙂
I’ve tasted Ripple. Now I know what butt crack tastes like. No wonder they say chicken in front, liquor in the rear.
“Liquor…I just met her”. (an oldie from back in the day)
The liberals with their control of the media have the upper hand. Americans are generally lazy thinkers who want to be spoon fed.
If realization does not occur soon ….wait until 2025 when the interest on the national debt will crowd put other spending.
You NAILED it!
The interest on our National Debt is $6.7 Billion per week, every week, every cent goes to bankers.
Trump only asked for $5.7 billion to build a wall – which would reduce our costs to support Illegal Invaders.
That ever-swelling, always illegal population costs us $135 billion last year ($2.6 Billion/week), driven by free medical care, education, ect.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/record-135-billion-a-year-for-illegal-immigration-average-8-075-each-25-000-in-ny
That is money the US doesn’t have, that it borrows from banks, added to the National Debt (Deficit Spending), which Democrats couldn’t care less about, because they don’t see its consequences. Yet. Compounding interest is beyond liberal comprehension, but it continues to work even when government drones don’t. Soon, banker payments will eat half of tax revenues.
In a year or two at the most, when the interest on our National Debt consumes all “discretionary spending” (to pay bankers, of course), it will crater ALL social programs – they won’t be funded.
Even today, America’s most unfortunate, homeless mothers with children who live here legally, in their cars, in tents, and in doorways. The most needy among us have less appeal to the liberal heart than Illegal Invaders who voite for them.
You’ll never see Poisonous Pelosi or Cuck Chuck virtue-posing on national TV to persuade anyone to help America’s most vulnerable citizens. They’ve already passed laws to fine you if you don’t have a permit to provide them with free meals from a sidewalk soup kitchen.
I would like to know, exactly, what the “people” are supposed to do. Vote? Call your Congressman or Senator? It seems to me that the “people” are limited to: Take up arms and start shooting people, refuse to pay taxes when they can, or boycott something (I’m not sure what). Otherwise, this feels more like an alien vs. predator situation to me. I am open to honest suggestions.
A good point. I believe the polls in the kavanaugh hearing gave some spine to the defenders of the SC nominee that the left could not influence.
In the current debate over funding for the wall, the media will be doing their best to make public opinion appear to be against Trump. If the actual facts show otherwise, the media will again be exposed as fake; but this will only happen if a strong majority support the president.
People could get some yellow vests.
Please, not another Pickett’s Charge over The Wall! Just order the DoD and DHS to finish The Wall. Then tell the Democrats The Wall is a Done Deal so send me the Budget Request plus $5B or so for a National Security Emergency Fund, or explain why not to 38 million EBT Card holders and 800,000 government workers.
Trump’s Tweet Storm against Comey’s FBI “witch hunt” this weekend was pretty epic. Then, later in the day, the Washington Post revealed he had “undisclosed” talks with Putin.
Now, of course, the House wants to investigate…. wait for it…. Trump’s apparent treason with Russia. Indeed. The more things change the more they stay the same.
Is it real? Reality TV? Or complete fiction; a soap opera at the end of things called “As the World Burns”, before a new Phoenix can rise from the ashes?
Why didn’t Trump release the documents BEFORE the midterms?
Did he miscalculate, and believe the Republicans were going to win the House?
Because, before the election, Trump did say “don’t blame me” if Republicans lose the House – and after the election, he said he was focused on the Senate.
Seems like he has all the bases covered at all times, ya know?
Is it all part of a grand political plan to win in 2020?
Or just another television show?
Politics is show business for ugly people.
I have never been good at charades. And, I am tired of trying to figure it all out.
Notice the slimy fuques at NYT don’t tell you that the scenario was: Rosenstein tells Trump to fire Comey. Trump fires Comey. DC theater troupe goes ballistic. Page, Strzok, McCabe, go off deep end and create Russia investigation because their boss Rosenstein tells Trump to fire Comey and he does? What part of this is unknown?
There is nothing new here at all yet NYT tries to propagandize the public with shit. The NYT people should all be lined up in front of a ditch.
DUH??? How many times do I have to say it, this is just another LBJ plan of” Lets get everything we can for those niggers, so they can be tied to us forever!” Just change the key word to immigrants at the border. This is a war for control not any help the poor and downtrodden.
BINGO!!
I am as ready as I will ever be. Let’s go.
It’s time for Trump to show us, exactly, how big his “balls are.”
JMHO.
Trump missed an opportunity to expose the Deep State and have the 2018 elections impacted by the Left’s fraud and sedition. IMO, he blew it. Maybe he’s keeping his powder dry for the completion and release of the dirty cop Mueller probe. If I’m wrong again, and he succumbs to the pressure to not declassify, we’re doomed. Kiss the Republic goodbye.
For good or bad, things will change.
Bring it on. It’s what they want.
Just when you think it all makes sense. Here I was feeling sympathetic to Trump for his troubles where even his daughter’s pal, Ann Coulter had turned on him. I actually wrote that his uphill battle was like Rocky the small time mafia juice man going up against the heavy weight champion Apollo Creed.
Then I read an advanced analysis in the New Yorker and I feel like a chump. It turns out the shutdown is a cold-blooded attempt at distracting the public from certain Mueller-related embarrassments. Colluding with Coulter to provoke an excuse to shutdown the government in order to distract the public; a grand sleight of hand, would out-Nixon Nixon.
Not only is this shutdown not about a wall, it isn’t even about Rocky. With the proliferation of lies, we are left wondering if we are sure who we are. Is this even America anymore? Are we living in Nazi Germany? Are we merely insects lost in time, and lost in space… and meaning?
This is not Rocky, this is Rocky Horror, a cheap melodrama with little meaning. Meaning is what we need now.
I’m reminded of a Panglossian quip; she was such a liar that when she walked down the vegetable aisle in the supermarket, the vegetables became neurotic. Old Pangloss said nuerosis is caused by anxiety and anxiety is caused by a lack of information. The entire country is becoming neurotic and bordering on a psychotic reaction.

Call me me when ANY of the things you imply will happen, actually happen.
