What could go wrong?

Let's see....

If the American nazi/elitist party (led by none other Stephen Miller, et al...) "facilitate" a government shutdown what might happen?

Hmm... Well, Naomi Klein in her seminal work, THE SHOCK DOCTRINE, outlines the possible result of a government shutdown; the declaration of Marshall Law.

The implications?

Thinking of possible outcomes, based on the nature of the republic party and their repeatedly efforts to marginalize every other voice, their open willingness to blatantly lie, cheat and steal to achieve their long sought wedding of our culture, our government, to the lawless corporate model.

It may already be too late for us.....

But so was the idea of a Trump presidency.

By the way, it's called "martial law" because it's run by the military.

Marshal means no one goes to work. No one goes to work the CEOs close their businesses losing billions and billions. The stock markets crash. They all go broke. They ain't gonna happen. These people running our government work for the corporations and their lobbyists.

Sorry about that.

But tell me, how much would you spend to eliminate regulations?

To wipe out living & minimum wages, freeze all government expenditures on social security, education, health care?

Priceless....
