Shutdown; Shut-up

I had intended this to be an entire essay on the ridiculous Schumer Shutdown, but Schumer caved as the Dems realized that they had put themselves in a very bad position. Recordings of comments from both Schumer and Bernie Saunders in 2013
(when Republicans shut down the government) were played over and over, exposing both of them as the political hacks that they are. Schumer’s 2013 comments were condescending to Republicans, and when played back made him look like an ass as he was now the one playing “stupid is what stupid does”! When Bernie was reminded of his comments, he hesitantly mumbled that he did not remember! How convenient for him!
However the most amazing and outlandish thing that I heard had to do with Schumer releasing the Senate Dems to vote as they wished. “Releasing the Senate Dems” certainly implies that the Senate Dems cannot vote on their own and cannot follow their own consciences and principles when a vote comes up. It appears that they are all afraid of getting on Godfather Schumer’s bad side. Something is really wrong when an ideologue like Chuckie Schumer has all this power!
Like I said, I was ready to write the entire blog on the Schumer Shutdown, but Schumer shut it down. So I am switching to the “shut-up” story of the week
This amazing “shut-up” news story comes from California. Here in the land of fruits and nuts, California’s Attorney General, Xavier Becerra, is threatening business owners with prosecution and a $10,000 fine if they do not shut-up if I.C.E. comes calling to their place of business. When I read this all I could think of was the incredible irony here. Think about it. The highest legal authority in the state is basically directing the people in his state to disobey Federal Law and lie if I.C.E. comes to business establishment. I had thought that the concept of states rights was settled with the Civil War in the 1860s, but maybe Xavier did not study much U.S. history in law school. However, there is a logical explanation for Mr. Becerra obtuse proclamation. Perhaps he is trying to get the support of all the illegals in California when he challenges Diane Feinstein for her U.S Senate seat. You know all of those illegals that do not vote in this state . . . wink, wink!!
The irony would be even more spectacular if Becerra beats Feinstein in the primary because most of the illegal’s illegal votes went to their amigo, Xavier. Would Feinstein then have the cajones to challenge the result or would she just “shut-up”?
