He said it not me.Former Republican National Committee (RNC) chair Michael Steele called former President Donald Trump's remarks to House Republicans about ensuring the inclusion of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act in a stopgap bill to prevent a government shutdown, "the blind being led by the stupid." .....

The good news is that REAL REPUBLICANS are increasingly speaking out against the "kidnapping" of the GOP by trump and his misguided rinos

Just addressing the cost of a shutdown.. not the political side..
Many people outside of the DC area don’t consider the wasted $$$ of a shutdown.. government employees spend the last two or three days on the job “shutting done the machine “…. Then the is their furlough time.. then a day it two “starting the machine back up”…. All wasted time with full benefits.. (government employees always get back pay for shutdown).. note: the shutdown passport and tax processing, nothing that the target of a shutdown is effected by..
Don’t forget the contractors.. all of the building cleaners, delivery truck crews, taxi drivers, restaurant workers.. all off with no pay..
The ripple effects of a shutdown are staggering.. and hurt the wrong people..

I heard that early this morning---but the jackasses that are wanting to pull that pin don't get up that early
