Question: Noting that the Republicans control both houses of Congress, why is Trump threatening the Democrats with a government shutdown -- his government, btw -- if he doesn't get what he wants?
Special interests on the globalist side is why. Globalist is bi-partisan and quite a few R's are against this too, due to, they get their money from multi national corporations a.k.a. foreign money, like but not limited too Mexico.
Another special interest is Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the U.S. fund ISIS (Globalist agenda) and to go nationalist (build a wall) secure our borders to prevent ISIS getting in, is our money spent against our money that funds ISIS.
To keep the sheep in line ( to do above national policy)it makes it difficult to get radicals over the border to scare the public in giving up rights gladly, thus the OP.
Can we say conflict of interest? When money runs the government you get this issue (OP) that stems from allowing foreign and domestic corporations to be seen as a person in the constitution. Which in effect, took "the people" out of the constitution no matter our party preference. So I reiterate, thinking in duopoly mode is a lie to keep the sheep "thinking" they got choice. D & R serve foreign and domestic corporations. Which makes this government an oligarchy ran by deep state. However, Trump is making it difficult for the globalist deep state and puppets (A.K.A elected officials that take foreign money = Globalist) by going nationalistic in policy. Thus the OP and conflict of governance for the elected officials on the domestic corporate tit vs globalist foreign tit clash in bi-partisan greed.
It is a hope that we stop this duopoly mind set that is just a complex show, theater,lie, to lose the truth that on the Federal level there is no R or D. There is only you the serf vs them the kings. Notice how kings have no law put to them selves? Think on this for a day, do some homework on oligarchies then look at your federal government and corporate elites and ask why do these not go to jail? Why, they are your kings is why commoner. Ya might want to consider not paying to be ruled = Taxation "without" representation as our voice was taken in that constitution.
In hopes this breaks people out of duopoly mode of thinking for this is lie, and further, waists your time and energy (as it is designed to do). But most importantly your intelligence, as a D will gladly lose to an R and visa versa that before a progressive will be let in seats of power. Going to rephrase that last sentence in different terminology ...
Money(D) will gladly lose to money(R) for they are singular in mission statement, that is, profit no matter the human rights violations (DAPL, Michigan water, sells the people health care for profit, educational debt, etc.) and so a progressive (Humanity and earth come first in policy) can not be given a seat of power for they are not on the mission statement of profit/capitalism/oligarchy . A progressive seeks to include the public (serfs to the now established oligarchy through foreign money) .Rant complete.
