This is going to be a telling week for the American Public.
Like they really need more evidence of the contrasting governing visions offered by both major political parties.
The Biden/Harris Administration and the Democrats want to chart a course for the country that protects political and civil freedoms along with meaningful investments that move the country forward and lift people up.
The former Party of Lincoln, led by the four-time indicted, twice impeached, twice popular vote loser, twice David Duke endorsed, and found liable for sexual assault Mad King wants to burn the government down by shutting down operations starting on October 1 if they do not get draconian spending cuts in programs that help people like the beneficial Title One mechanism for public education (full disclosure: I am an Instructional Assistant at a Title One School.)
On his "Truth Social" platform, the person who encouraged the Domestic Insurrection against the Nation's Capitol on January 6, 2021, posted:
“The Republicans lost big on Debt Ceiling, got NOTHING, and now are worried that they will be BLAMED for the Budget Shutdown. Wrong!!! Whoever is President will be blamed. UNLESS YOU GET EVERYTHING, SHUT IT DOWN! Close the Border, stop the Weaponization of ‘Justice,’ and End Election Interference..."
A group of House Republican Apostates, those that did not support the debt ceiling deal earlier this year, are very willing to oblige their Mad King leader and allow the government to shut down unless their spending cut demands are met, including an eighty percent ($14.7 billion) cut in Title One Education Programs.
This Tyranny of the Minority Group is only able to exert disproportionate power because spineless Trump and MAGA enabler Kevin McCarthy, unlike (can not believe this is being written) Republican Senate Leadership who is honoring the debt ceiling deal parameters made earlier this year, is apparently more concerned about keeping his increasingly figurehead Speakership rather than working a deal with Democrats on funding the government.
Commenting on the Mad King's call for shutting down the government, the Biden/Harris Campaign released a statement, relaying:
“Let’s be clear what is happening here: Trump is directing MAGA House Republicans to either slash funding for food safety, education, law enforcement, housing, and more, or completely shut down the government — which could delay cancer research, force federal law enforcement and troops to work without pay, and kneecap essential services hardworking Americans rely on every day. All because the former president believes this helps him politically. House Republicans are gleefully letting Donald Trump function as their chief political strategist at the expense of American families. Trump’s behavior is shameful, but unsurprising from someone who has demonstrated he couldn’t care less about the American people.”
The White House also released data on how the shutdown could jeopardize nutritional programs for seven million Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) across the country.
In Arizona 139, 765 people would be affected.
The shutdown would also hurt rural communities, disaster relief programs, and aid to Ukraine in its war against Russia.
In an email to the Democratic National Committee, Senior White House Communications Assistant Brianna Stonick wrote:
"Extreme House Republicans need to stop playing political games with peoples’ lives, keep the government open, and address other urgent needs for the American people."
The Mad King Wants to Execute General Milley
If all else does not convince everyone that Donald Trump is not worthy of a return trip to the Oval Office, his call to execute soon-to-be retired Joint Chiefs Chairman General Mark Milley for not blindly following his lead in the events after the November 2020 elections regarding China and perhaps January 6, 2021, should leave no doubt as to his unsuitability for office.
Last week, the Mad King wrote on his Truth Social Site
“If the Fake News reporting is correct, [Milley] was actually dealing with China to give them a heads up on the thinking of the President of the United States. This is an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been death!”
Arizona House Representative Paul "My family won't vote for me" Gosar echoed Trump in a newsletter, calling for Milley's head by writing:
"In a better society, quislings like the strange sodomy-promoting General Milley would be hung. He had one boss: President Trump, and instead, he was secretly meeting with Pelosi and coordinating with her to hurt Trump. That is, when he wasn’t also secretly coordinating and sharing intelligence with the Chinese military. How this traitor remains in office is a question we need answered."
The country does not need The Mad King, Donald Trump, spineless Kevin McCarthy, and unhinged figures like Paul Gosar in powerful positions.
Why early polls show the Presidential race a toss-up, no matter how unreliable so far out from November 2024, is a mystery.
On their worst days, President Biden, Vice President Harris, and the other Democratic leaders are far preferable to the current Republican vintage.
Why is close to half the country still not getting that.
That may be the true madness.
People have to wake up and see what is at stake.
The future of the American Dream and Ideal will be on the ballot in 2024.
The People need to realize that before it is too late.
