Just yesterday the little d's AGAIN voted to keep DHS shut down. But now it seems they're having a change of heart.
Wonder why that is?

Since they obviously don't give a crap about national security, workers without paychecks or long lines at the airport, the only reason is that somebody probably got a poll result and went...oohhhh.

Sen. Slotkin (D-MI), re: the terror attack in her state, just said DHS needs to be funded. She voted YESTERDAY to keep it unfunded/closed. That vote ended after she publicly acknowledged the attack on social media. Four jihadist attacks on the Homeland in two weeks. DHS closed.

We only have 1 serious political party in this country, and it ain't the one that starts with the letter 'd'.

<<Slotkin was later asked if she feared the Department of Homeland Security was not fully prepared for a situation like this due to the lack of funding amid a partial government shutdown. She responded, “Because they are essential workers, they have been at work, certainly in Michigan, we have a ton of DHS folks, they are on the call and they are doing their jobs. Certainly, we need to fund the Department of Homeland Security, and we need, in my view, to cut away all the conversation on ICE, which is its own conversation, from all the core missions of the Department of Homeland Security, but they’re essential, on the job, they’re working today.”>>

She supports funding for DHS except for ICE and Border Patrol. The Dems have been offering that for a while now. The Republicans want all DHS funded, or nothing. The Republicans have offered to fund it all for two weeks while discussions about ICE continue, no dice say Dems.

Check out those airport screening lines…

Didn't I say something, yesterday, about pivoting the ICE storm troopers from terrorizing Hispanics, to terrorizing Muslims? Fearmongering about the Islamic boogyman will always get more traction that fear mongering about Hispanics.

For those outside of Michigan, Slotkin is ex-CIA, who did multiple tours in Iraq.

We only have 1 serious political party in this country, and it ain't the one that starts with the letter 'd'.

That would be the "uniparty" of supposed Dems and Repubs, who serve the money interests.
