About time!!!

This whole shutdown is unconscionable...

President Donald Trump signed a bill Thursday to fund the Department of Homeland Security, including the U.S. Coast Guard, after a 76-day partial government shutdown.

The signing came hours after the House passed Senate-approved legislation to fund the department. The bill funds DHS agencies that are not involved in Trump’s immigration crackdown through the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30.

It’s not like most of these people have enough money in the bank to last a couple of months to pay all their bills, in any of the organizations. Of course the congresscritters get paid anyway, so they don’t really care. It’s just politics to them... Grrrr...

In addition to the Coasties, who would have stopped being paid next week, it also funds the Coast Guard civilians, and releases money to pay for housing including electric, which was being cut off in some Coast Guard housing!

It also provides funding for the TSA, FEMA, and Secret Service through September, so this means they whole s**t show is going to start again in September and probably stretch through Christmas (again)...

I don’t think there has been an actual budget approved on time since sometime in the early 2000s, but I may be wrong.

Once again, the little people at the end of the funding/food chain are the ones to take it in the shorts, and nobody but them cares. This was NOT what I defended, and I’m pretty sure most of you feel the same way I do.

Something about all enemies foreign AND domestic. And we’re getting a pretty good idea of who is who, IMHO.

And of course tomorrow is May Day, so the left will be celebrating...

And I’m gonna stop now and go take my BP meds... sigh
