Trump Wanted This Shutdown, Let’s Give Him a True American Shutdown

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Trump ordered a government shutdown. The reason? To amass more power by weakening Democratic positions in our government. His total apathy for working-class Americans is revolting and obvious.

The most disgusting fact about this current, moronic situation is that the men and women who are responsible for how fucked up our government truly is, continue to receive their paychecks while those who actually worked are struggling to pay their mortgages.

If you find these government shutdowns as idiotic and reprehensible as I do, let’s make this one unforgettable. Let’s shut down the entire country for one day.

Regardless of where you work, or the nature of your job, with a few exceptions, call in sick.

Air traffic controllers and TSA employees are forced to work, but are not being paid. Just imagine what would happen if every one of them called in sick on the same day. Not a single airplane would be airborne, including the private jets of the super-rich.

For those who depend on air travel, the very thought of this happening would be unbearable.

If you work at a hospital, and are not a doctor or nurse, it could not function if you were not there.

If schools were closed, and daycare facilities were not available, millions of men and women would be unable to work, even if they rejected my idea.

Just imagine what would happen if the men and women who work in businesses responsible for supplying electricity stayed home for a single day. If satellite connections were lost, no one could use their phones. Trump would shit his pants constantly.

Think of all the possibilities. The super-rich and powerful who believe that their lives of luxury and privilege will never end or even interrupted, just might realize that nothing could exist without the working class.

Never forget: we are the United States of America. This is our country and every elected or appointed man and woman in Washington works for us. They never listen to us or display concern for our welfare. It’s time for us to take back what belongs to us: our country.

The Real Victims in the Trump Saga

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s defense strategy has changed, slightly. He claims that all of his legal battles are founded in political strategy, created by his enemies. He is playing the role of a victim. I guess part of Trump’s decline in mental acuity is a severe loss of memory. He appears to forget that many of the crimes he is accused of began long before he made the mistake of seeking the presidency. Others, including his insurrection on January 6, and stolen classified documents are actions witnessed by every American. We are not falling for your bullshit, Donnie Boy. THE REAL VICTIMS A brief look at Trump’s history reveals a life of crime. From bribing public officials, and refusing to pay contractors, to allegations of physical, sexual assault, the orange buffoon left a long trail of victims. As your illegitimate president, he violated the basic human rights of thousands. According to medical experts, Trump’s failure to take timely action to prevent an oncom...

Aileen Cannon: A Corrupt Judge Appointed by a Lifelong Criminal

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Aileen Cannon is a federal judge, appointed by Donald Trump. She has been charged with one of the most important cases involving Trump’s life of crime; his theft of classified documents when he was evicted from the White House on January 20, 2021. Yesterday she gave Trump a gift by delaying his upcoming trial. The events which followed prove that he violated the Espionage Act of 1917. He is also guilty of lying to the FBI, a federal crime. Before the raid on Mar-a-Lago, when they discovered boxes of national secrets hidden throughout the millionaire’s playpen, he claimed that he had returned all of them. TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS: LIES, MISDIRECTION, BASELESS ATTACKS You might have noticed that Trump, his failed party, and his supporters constantly lie about everything. There is undeniable proof that the only attempted fraud in the 2020 election can be attributed to Trump supporters. The 91 indictments against Trump are not a “witch hunt:” I have ...

“The Economy is in ‘Pretty Good Shape?’”

Image
Bessent is not quite a billionaire, yet, but he is a perfect example of how ignorant Trump’s administration is. Scott Bessent is Trump’s unqualified Treasury Secretary. He is not one of the billionaires on Trump’s cabinet, but he is worth 521 million dollars. This one fact prevents the old, white man from understanding what it is to be a real American in the 21 st century. What they're saying: "There is a little uncertainty, but in general, the companies I've spoken to, CEOs, who have come into Treasury tell me that the economy is very solid," Bessent said at a conference hosted by the American Bankers Association. Really? Nobody asked me. I can offer you one fact, one example of how ignorant this Trump stooge actually is. My wife and I worked for about 40 years each. We chose our professions badly. The only retirement income we have is what we paid for: our Social Security. In January we received a 2.5 percent increase in our monthly checks. However, the cost of nec...
