If the whole "furlough" of "non-essential" federal employees hasn't been bad enough, there's tons worse: scenic view pull-offs in South Dakota have been blocked off with orange safety cones to prevent people from pulling over to take pictures (not that that would actually stop someone really determined), and people have been evicted from their homes because they're technically vacation homes set up on federal land.
So. The "chief executive" who is the park department's highest point in the chain of command has shown how petty he is. Now, let me show y'all a little bit more:
Intimidation tactics on full display. More here. Because we all know that those Vietnam vets are just explosions waiting to happen, and if they can just trigger one attack...
More petty, meanness on display here. We must do what the Spoiled Brat wants! The shutdown is hurting the children!
How about doing his damnedest to scare the shit out of Grandma by threatening to let her starve and freeze on the streets?
The worst, I think, is here. This page was the Amber Alerts page. You know, the page where the alerts issued by states were displayed, permitting people all over the country to potentially recognize a kidnapping victim, and get help.
So. Petty, mean, and evil. What more do we need to know about the "leader" of our nation?

Extortion comes in many flavors. When a politician allows it, the immediate reaction of an honest legislative body is the immediate removal of those involved and the pursuit of criminal indictments.
ReplyDeleteWe would have never reached this point if the majority of the media wasn't willing to carry water for the criminals in Washington.
Pretty much. And that started, honestly started, with Walter Cronkite in Vietnam, before I was born.
DeleteWe had a big storm here, and while it was approaching I was using the net to track it. But NOAA, which has the best storm tracks, pulled up a message saying due to the government shut down the track was not available. I wonder if anyone in D.C. honestly thinks people don't know this is contrived and just a scam?
ReplyDeleteI think they think the people blame the Republicans.
DeleteI'm not getting what the NYC Vietnam thing has to do with the Federal Government?
ReplyDeleteThe same park service is in charge.
DeleteNever interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. Remember Hoover and the Benefit Army.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm aware. I'm more trying to expose the nastiness.
DeleteI'd like to give a big kick in the ass to all of the assholes who voted for Obama......
DeleteMe too, buddy.
