If there ever was a way to kill the Federal Government Donald Trump has decided to try it. Federal workers should pray that this tool is not one that a President has in the tool belt in order to control legislation. By the Constitution the Presidents legislative power is the veto. Imagine a president who wants to kill Social Security or ban abortions by pulling out the Shutdown tool as means of forcing legislation.
Republican, Democratic or Independent lawmaker should take heed of allowing the Executive branch this devastating power. For now everything seem a okay maybe even tolerable but the real effects of this malady will come later when the chain effect its felt across the country. Still the main effect of a permanent new power yielded from Mitch McConnell to Donald Trump allowing him to abuse and misuse federal workers and trample on the constitution to fulfill a campaign theme is ludicrous and unforgivable.
At a time when doubt about the legitimacy of a Presidency and how it came to power is being highly questioned and awaiting the end of a deep investigation, McConnell hands over the power to Trump who may even see his opportunity to delay the investigation, or deeper will to please his benefactor in Moscow. No matter for what reason America will suffer from this severely. There will be no wall tell enough or wide enough to stop the internal decay of the Federal government which rest as the heart and soul of the American Power.
Presidents are not Kings they should not wield all of the power, McConnell should be recalled by his constituents for allowing this President to inflict so much pain and torture on a dedicated workforce who despite not being paid Still show up at work doing their jobs with dignity and respect. Meanwhile their President and Senate leader use them as hostages as if they aren't real people just numbers or just a bunch of Democrats. They are only pawns to Trump and McConnell because each has plenty of disposable income from nefarious ways.
If the Government opens by Trump getting his way , He will use shutdown or threaten it now until his last day in office. The next President will and each following successor until the Federal government withers away from Executive strangulation. I hope the federal workforce understands the importance of solidarity at this critical time and helps defeat an act of tyranny from the executive branch supported by the Upper chamber. to dissuade the executive from exercising this power in the future.
Otherwise the Federal governments death spiral will be set into motion.The good news is the voters put this lady named Pelosi a fighter for human rights over the greedy self-serving hoard and she has your back.This is the time that the Democratic Party must fight for the Constitution because Trump does not respect it and yielding to his demands would be devastating.
