Government Shutdown

The Demonshits wouldn't acquiesce to a mere $5 billion for a "beautiful" steel slat barrier on the most troubled sections of the US border. A proposal, I might add, that would have been passed without incident had any other President proposed it. If this was Ovomit, or Capital Bush, or Billy Boy, Congress would have had no trouble passing it. It wasn't even all the Demonshits, Chuck You Schumer was showing signs that he was willing to negotiate, it was the billionaire Pelosi who has enough Botox in her face to qualify as WMD's. She also has moderate stage dementia.

Of course this doesn't hurt Trump's base who elected him in a large part to build the wall, this will hurt the Demonshits in Congress, because it is the Congress who are always hurt by any shutdown. We saw what amnesty did to California and we can't take a single step back. Not one step back. We build the wall and create meaningful border security and immigration reform or it's all over, America, the great shining city on the hill will be over and we'll become just another tin horn banana republic.

Meaningful Prison Reform

President Donald Trump, not satisfied with his long list of achievements, has decided to take the first step toward meaningful prison reform.

From McClatchyDC:
Qualifying Inmates — mostly people who have committed low-level drug offenses — can earn credits to be released from prison early and serve the remainder of their sentence in home confinement or halfway houses if they participate in the plan’s anti-recidivism programs such as job training, education and faith-based classes.
The for-profit American gulag system is typified by the American Himmler Joe Arpaio. I am convinced he is violating the human and Constitutional rights of his inmates through his practices, putting people awaiting trial in tents where temperatures soar high enough to cause permanent brain damage and death, feeding them inadequate or unhealthy food, keeping them in unhealthy crowded conditions. Remember, everyone awaiting trial is innocent until proven guilty, so he's basically trying to kill innocent people, and even if they were guilty that doesn't make his treatment of these people any less disgusting. People have died in his shithole prisons and the county has paid millions to their families for their wrongful deaths. He embezzles money left and right, he uses his power to silence critics and obstruct justice, and is a worse monster than the people he is incarcerating.

Now this system is beginning to see the first stones chipped away. Non-violent offenders are being given the chance at having a life again. People with mental illness or who are suffering from addiction are being given the chance at treatment instead of being thrown in a dungeon. And millions of dollars will be saved as we are no longer forced to foot the bill for regular people who were caught with a bag of marijuana in their car and are now languishing away in prison because of "mandatory minimum" sentencing.
