The Great Orange Pumpernickel (GOP) has shut down the government as extortion for funding for a solution that won’t work to a problem that doesn’t exist.

It’s all an obvious distraction tactic to divert our attention from his plummeting approval ratings (outside of his base, which will never waver) and imminent sanctions or possible impeachment due to his collusion with Russia and other high crimes and misdemeanors.

The real victims here aren’t the infinitesimally small number of Americans victimized by illegal migrants, but the hundreds of thousands American citizens working for the U.S. government. But the GOP doesn’t care about other people. To him, it’s all about himself.

America needs to wake up and rid itself of this pestilence on our leadership like a junkyard dog shakes off its fleas.
