"All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!! Anyone who doesn't will be substantially 'docked,'" Trump said in a social media post on Monday.
"For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU," Trump said.
I’d like to know who the f*ck he thinks he’s talking to? Tech companies? Universities? Law firms? Media giants? The GOP Congress?
No. He’s talking to the actual people who keep the country running. The people who make sure no one crashes and burns in an airplane. The people who are working, and have been, without pay just because the Trump administration only knows one way to resolution…his way or not at all.
He’s talking to people who show up when they don’t have to. For the country.
I know he’s spent his life threatening with the power of his wealth. He has scammed and bamboozled and sued his way to success. He has quid pro quo-ed with extortion, always. Now, against all reason and logic,he has been granted the power of the presidency.
But instead of using that power carefully, cautiously, methodically to achieve his goals, he has rampaged across the world creating universal chaos that will take a generation to repair. Or longer. Or ever.
So while Mr. Trump throws yet another extravaganza on his taxpayer-funded outing to Mar-a-Lago, unveiling a new lobster buffet that included “shrimp towers, lobster tails, caviar for miles,” and stalls the legal system to prevent the government feeding hungry Americans, we the people watch and grow more and more angry at a party that accepts everything he throws at them. And us.
We’ll wait and see how the most recent attempt to reopen the government goes. Low expectations are the rule of the day. And any promises made to the Dems by Reps to get them to accept a turd sandwich, are always subject to suspicion. We’ve been Charlie Browned by Lucy one too many times.
But no matter the outcome, it has absolutely been proven that the Trump administration couldn't care less about any harm done or any solution that doesn’t include pain and suffering for the people.
There are no new words to be used about how totally FUBAR every day in America has become.
