One man is stopping the paychecks of hundreds of thousands

America is broken.

The Senate and House can stop this one man.

The House is willing.

The leader of the Senate is in an undisclosed location.

One man, the "president," is fucking America.

There are more that three hundred million of us.

There are a handful of them.

Why are we letting this happen?

Why are we so helpless?

In February, food stamps will stop and people will begin to starve.

Will we the people allow this.

I repeat: One man is stopping the paychecks of hundreds of thousands, -- and soon,-- millions.

So what are WE THE PEOPLE going to do about it.

From what I've seen to date, not much.

federal employees that are not getting paid - this shutdown will drag on.

WE THE PEOPLE - that are not immediately impacted by this shutdown need to get vocal.

Do we have to wait until it's too late and WE THE PEOPLE become impacted as well?

Where are all the police? 17 Intelligence Agencies in the USA...but nothing but fricken crickets. If they dont protect us...why are we paying for them and not our CAT Scans, medicine, Clean Energy etc? Putin has pulled back the curtain. NSA can listen to us snore at night w Alexa...but, they haven't scooped up enough intel on dt using his GD phone alone? Please. Watch the effin news and put together a prima facie case...we can and we are amateurs(?).

I think the Senate should turn on McConnell.

Yeah, Trump's throwing a tantrum and trying to hog the spotlight as usual, but in the end he'll do what McConnell tells him to do. And all Mitch has to do is allow one of the many motions Democratic senators have made to fund the government to actually go to the floor for a vote.

McConnell is the road block. McConnell is the traitor.
