Government shutdowns are the most overblown, hysteria inducing nothing burgers I have ever seen. In fact, we should shut down the government 1 week of every month to save money. That includes congress. The truth is congress is at its worst when it is in session.

They think the government is excelling right now.

Idiots can't read the constitution... In the event of Congress default, the government doesn't "shut down..." The purse strings default to the executive branch - The President! So only the things he chooses, keep running! Ain't that great?

CHECKMATE!

As I watch Democrats try to spin this shut down as Trump's fault, and spin the Letisha James indictment as a political prosecution, it seems to me they are losing the information war. The reality is, and this might not be the greatest thing for the country, the corporate media no longer has the influence it once had. They can't swindle the country like they used to because social media is an alternative information platform countering the left wing propaganda from CNN and MSNBC, et al.

So while Democrats blame Trump for the shutdown, ordinary Americans are countering the social media posts with meme and graphics showing how Republicans have voted to pass a clean bill 8 or 9 times to open the government again.

And while the try to claim Letisha James did nothing wrong, citizens are posting her own words, and those of many other Democrats saying no one is about the law, and mortgage fraud hurts everyone.

It is something to watch these people stubbornly cling to their spin despite losing ground with each passing day. You would think they would find a way out of this quickly before it takes them down a month before an election, but instead they cannot help themselves. It is another symptom of TDS.

This whole thing has been just a big nothingburger hasn't it? The sky hasn't fallen - it's almost like we don't really need 90 percent of the crap we spend trillions for. And it's all over this one irrefutable point:

Things you learn ONLY during an extended shutdown. Entire food stamp program needs audited and revamped so NO illegal can get bennies. Below video will anger you.
