So, 800,000 federal employees are not getting paid (though many are working without pay) because the President is being pissie about his 'wall' that not only won't be built, CAN'T be built because it would require incredible purchases of private land and destruction of several environmentally endangered places and (besides all that) there are simply areas along the southern boarder where a wall simply couldn't be built.
(That's a long sentence, I know. And probably not correctly punctuated. But I don't think or write straight when I'm thinking about all this.)
And then, yesterday he signed an executive order freezing the salaries of ALL federal workers except the military!
Several trite sayings come to mind: "adding insult to injury"; "pouring salt on the wound" and "flogging a dead horse", among others.
Retired 4 star general McChrrystal said today that the President was "dishonest and immoral".
And I won't argue with that.
Enough is enough.
Come on Robert Mueller, get stuff going.
The new Democratic House is set and ready to help you....
"The time has come," the Walrus said.....There are many things to bring out of the shadows into the light of truth and decency and honor.
Let's get going.
{Oh, as an afterthought, our Commander-in-Chump (er, Chief) flat out lied to the troops he visited in the Middle East over the holidays. He told them he gave them a 10% raise when it was really around 2% and said they hadn't had a raise in years when they've gotten one every year and some higher than his in the Obama years. Isn't lying to Americans in service to their country just damn wrong?}
