But then Reps. Lee, Rubio and Cruz were hell-bent on forcing yet another ACA (doomed) repeal vote. So those three -- unopposed by the GOP House Majority Whip (Boehner) -- blocked the Democrat-led federal budget continuation measure.
Charming. The standoff lasted about 18 days, if (unaided) memory serves.
Fast forward -- about four and a half years. . . the GOP nominally controls the Senate, the House and the White House. All three.
And here we are again, but this time, the GOP has taken itself hostage. Mr. Trump will allow the party he controls to. . . hold a Senate vote that would say that our wounded war vets shouldn't get treatment, at VA hospitals, and kids shouldn't receive their Early Head Start lunches, and federal Marshals should stop chasing bad guys. . . . and NASA should stop scouring space for life. . . um. . . why, exactly?
I. Can't. Even. Breathe. Dude. . . .And so, along with a likely few hundred thousand others, in Chicago tomorrow at midday, I'll once again take to the streets, to march -- as I did exactly one year ago -- at the Women's March (forecast to be another bright, sunny morning!) -- regardless of whether the federal government shutdown occurs. Mr. Trump has turned out to be worse than a "reality show TV" president. Nope. My prediction there was not even close. . . not nearly depraved enough.
Now he is the pornstar-payoff-president -- and DACA denier, and Muslim banner. If that weren't enough -- he's also a "Call of Duty" (only) fighter jet delivery-boy. . . and as of this week -- he's ALSO the. . . Haitian Hater; and as of this morning: the "I control ALL women's bodies" president. So take to the streets, peaceably, people -- and be seen. . . Smile; you know I will. . . .

Reprinted from below, moments ago — and the Condor will answer here (and there) shortly:
“...Stop calling it a Muslim ban. That is so transparent. There are 50 Muslim countries. This is a terrorist ban. These countries have funded and aided terrorism- and openly pray for our death. You must be Muslim to defend such heinous people. Any county should be allowed to protect itself from murderers without being called racist. That is the weakest argument and shows that the ban is the correct prescription to the disease. Unfortunately- it won’t do anything to stop all of the sleeper cells across the country. New Jersey alone has enough terrorists to endure death to innocent people for generations...”
Thanks Anon., for your thoughts. . . .
I’m afraid your argument suffers from the fallacy of composition.
No “Muslim” is inherently dangerous — unless US born white fundamental Christians (those toting automatic assault rifles) are inherently dangerous (in your eyes). Funny — where is your (and 45’s) ban, on them? Cue the crickets...
Banning a nation. . . is thus both illogical, ineffectual... and unconstitutional.
Moreover, Herr Trump has openly called for a Muslim Ban, in any event. Please address that. Wait — don’t bother. Yours won’t make any sense. [I will answer if you do reply though. Trust that.]
You are free to think such silly things, but (like Trump is learning day by day), in the courts — it is not the loudest voice that prevails. . . It is the Constitution — the rule of law, not tin pot despots.
I wish you well — despite your substantial confusion.
Feel free to answer, if you dare. . . .
Namaste
