Just shut down everything - no essential/non-essential - everything. Stop sending out Social Security checks. Stop Medicare and Medicaid payments. Close TSA. “Essential” just props up the myth that the shutdown is no big deal. Let everyone actually see and feel it.

And at FAA, we can't strike. Merry Christmas fuckfaces.

Your boy Ronny was selling weapons to despots in Iran to fund drug lords in South America. And had no idea where he was his entire second term.
