This is exactly how this will play out:
The shutdown WILL occur on Oct 1. No noticeable effects for a while.
On or about October 15, Obama will pull the plug on the EBT cards and blame Republicans.
From October 15 - November 1st, increasing levels of riots will occur in major cities. The entire time, Obama and the Propaganda Corps (ABC NBC CBS CNN NYT) will blame it on the shutdown and on Republicans.
November 1st through 7th, Obama will demand Democrats get to the polls to restore government services.
Democrats will turn out in numbers never seen before on an off year.
Republicans will not take the Senate and will lose the House. Obama will keep importing Latinos at a breakneck speed from then on. There will be no threat of impeachment or limitation any more.
The coup will be complete.
Some people remark that the States administer EBT. True, but in 2013, during the government shutdown, the Feds were about ready to pull the plug on the states. Please note this letter:
They'd never win another election again, not even a local one.
Still, with the right monetary greasing, I suppose anyone might sell out.
Oh, I don’t see Obama staying in power. I see him pleased as punch he destroyed the American election system, as well as put middle America on the death path, but... naw, I agree, he’s out. He’d be back to his golf, and his other ‘less dignified’ pursuits.
“Please add me to your ping list.”
Yo tambien, por favor. (Just brushing up on my Espanol before Zero opens the flood gates).
Listen to the prescience of Paul Harvey back in 1965: If I Were The Devil (YouTube Video).
Obama hates his job because of the restrictions on his behavior.If he were given full dictatorial powers including summary execution of opponents-he’d be in his own little heaven.
Curiously, I believe the bizarre world we find ourselves in — gays have superior rights to heteros, drugs to be legalized, soon pedophilia — is evil incarnate and evilly driven.
It’s more likely that this time people will realize that it’s the Democrats shutting down the government by not accepting the amended budget handed to them by the Republicans. NOBODY WANTS AMNESTY! In fact it will finally dawn on them that the last shutdown was the same situation which will enable Ted Cruz to win the next presidential election.
Haven’t we all been wrong before.
The Republicans should be treating this as though they were playing chess with Lenin. Instead, its like watching cattle standing around waiting for the rancher to hit them with a cattle prod.
From the mouse's perspective as it is hypnotized by the snake, there is no "right" time.
My gut tells me that Laz is probably more correct than wrong, and like him, I'd rather eat tasty crow on that one, but ... I don't think so. Maybe it will take a little longer, a few more years, or maybe in a different venue, but Laz, I share your sense that it's coming down to a decided timeline on somebody's schedule ready to launch via that letter regarding suspensions of EBTs... but how do you know it's authentic, Laz?
... anyway, that letter kind of fits into the sudden and ominous increase I've seen with my own eyes of pistol-packin' Federal officials in ostensibly civilian roles, they're so peaceful, such as park ranger or wildlife officials. Packing firearms and authority!
And glimpses here and there of authoritative-looking "Homeland Security" SUVs slipping through town, with very self-important-looking people behind the wheel. My hackles go up. There's something heavy in the wind and it's been stirring for about a year and a half. The Americans are getting restless, with good reason.
Do you think that, if they don't get rational THERE, that they are going get rational on a shutdown? With the press constantly blaming Republicans?
Can't they find a judge or court to put a stay in place until its constitutionality is ruled on?
You’re giving his handlers ideas, you. 0bama be lovin’ him his drone strike videos.
'Stay' a government shutdown and a EBT suspension? Not sure how that would play out.
Short answer: No.
I pray YOU are right. If they kick the house while there’s still some solid wood, the sleeping homeowners may wake up and see what’s happening to the house.
What this country needs right now is exactly what you spelled out.
What the forces that want do destroy this country need to do is ... ssshhhhhhh ... let the ants keep working.
Feed the ants, mask the symptoms.
All very quiet. Don’t burn the village. Just let the forest reclaim it.
People rarely think en masse. It is all about the emotion of the mob. It’s as if Planet of the Apes is now a truism.
...and I mean that in a conceptual sense, in that the creatures portrayed in the movie were emotional imbeciles.
LOL. We do need to be delicate, don’t we, with all the PC speech ‘shaming’. :)
The Republicans are Mensheviks.
Sounds like you’re watching too much television, the world is presented through a fantasy lens there. Everyone I come in contact with knows this and events like the Michael Brown fable just makes more people realize how fake the info they are being given is. There’s just a small percentage of woefully ignorant inner city Democrat constituents fooled by the show and we all know why they are in that position, feel pity for what has been done to them.
Sadly, I don't think you're wrong either.
