There was a lot of hand wringing on the left when the shutdown was shut down. To some it felt like a betrayal.
But I think it served its purpose. It gave our president a chance to show his true colors.
For anyone willing to pay attention, we learned that the Defecator in Chief not only doesn’t care about American citizens, but in fact saw the shutdown as an opportunity to actively starve American families and their children.
And why? What was the hill that the Republicans were willing to die on? Amazingly, it was so they could deny affordable health care to those same American families and their children.
The message was clear to anyone not completely locked into the Faux News fantasy world. Never before has an American administration shown such contempt and cruelty toward its own citizenry.
