Donald Trump has hosted a fundraiser for his White House ballroom construction project as hundreds of thousands of federal workers go unpaid amid the ongoing government shutdown.
It’s been 15 days since Congress failed to pass a bill to keep federal agencies funded, slowing down or stopping government operations, as essential employees continue to go to work without pay.
But this dark period of partisan gridlock is not keeping the president from having a good time with those helping make his dreams of a glitzy ballroom come true.
I believe the air traffic controllers quitting en masse will, once again, be the lynchpin. But as you said, the conservative controlled media is working 24/7 to blame democrats and glaze over everything the republicans have done and are doing.
Yeah, ATC disrupting air travel further would also be a catalyst. They don’t even need to explicitly quit—just walk off the job.
It’s not really quitting working if the employer quits paying you first.
