We may well see the government shut down since the people we all elected can't seem to figure out how to do their jobs. It's fascinating how we normies woud get fired for not doing our jobs but somehow these yahoos keep their jobs over and over again.
Stop voting by name recognition only, people. Please.
Anywho, we digress.
If they do indeed shut down the government there are a few programs that do not shut down because our government failed. Entitlement programs and apparently sending billions to Ukraine.
Yes, really.
🚨 JUST IN: The Pentagon has decided to EXEMPT Ukraine operations from a potential government shutdown if lawmakers fail to reach a deal by the end of the month.

This means tens of billions will continue flowing into Ukraine regardless.
Why is that even legal? pic.twitter.com/GKcCPb9aTb
Don't worry, Zelenskyy, the billions will keep coming ...
Awful.
Even if Congress doesn’t appropriate money, the Pentagon will keep funding Ukraine. As I’ve said, we do not have a representative government. We have not had one for a while. We have an oligarchy with the ornamentation of representative government. https://t.co/G6k8D7joJJ

From Politico:
Typically, when the government shuts down, all military activities stop unless they are deemed critical to national security. For example, during the 2018 shutdown, then-Defense Secretary James Mattis said the U.S. military would continue hunting the Islamic State in the Middle East, but training for tens of thousands of Guard and Reserve forces was abruptly canceled.
By law, the Pentagon chief can make exceptions to activities suspended under a government shutdown, Sherwood said, noting that the decision to exempt Ukraine operations was just made.
Only military training and exercises “required to achieve and maintain operational readiness and to prepare for and carry out such operations” will be exempted from a potential shutdown this year, according to guidance issued by the Pentagon last week.

So does that mean they think sending billions of our dollars to Ukraine is 'critical to national security'?
What is really going on here?!
Congress has been a dog and pony show.

It’s an act
The dementia patient in the White House shows the Presidency is an act. There’s no way he’s actually making decisions
The entire “Daylight Government” is the emperor no clothes.
Who’s pulling the strings?
The same could be said for the current administration.
Who is pulling the strings?
Scary stuff.
Who’s actually in charge though? Who’s telling Biden and Harris what to do and where are those people getting their orders from? It has to be coming from outside the US.
