What frustrates me about most of the Main Stream News about the Trump Shut-Down is the lack of perspective on prior bad acts of the President and his Rethug controlled Congress. What is missing is pointing out that there ARE consequences to these terrible PRIOR acts that have brought us to this place. Earlier this year a blogger smallch had a terrific compendium about all of the terrible things this administration has done. Relative to the shutdown here is the perspective that I want to hear most:
1. Trump’s executive order that rescinded DACA protections.
2. Congress’s refusal to bring DACA bills up to a vote. (I’m looking at YOU, McConnel and Ryan.)
3. Congresses refusal to bring CHIP renewal up for consideration.
4. The held these hostage for just the situation we are in now.
5. Damned Trump’s insistance on a border wall that won’t help at all.
6. The racist and xenophobic mindset of administration...I’m looking at you, Miller.
I’m so frustrated, my rant is most likely unintelligible. But there it is.
