Schumer blocks bill to pay Coast Guard
By Jordain Carney - 01/24/19 02:12 PM EST

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) blocked a request to pay the Coast Guard on Thursday, after Republicans refused to also open the rest of the federal government.
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) tried to take up legislation to pay the Coast Guard, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security.
 
Schumer blocked the request after first asking if Kennedy would modify his request to instead reopen the quarter of the government currently closed.
 
"President Trump is responsible not only for thousands of Coast Guard personnel not getting paid but hundreds of thousands of other federal employees also not getting paid," Schumer said.
 
Kennedy said he would not modify his legislation because it would then be vetoed by President Trump.
 
 
"It will be a futile, useless exercise. Now, we can go through it if you want to. You can spend all day trying to teach a goat how to climb a tree, but you're better off hiring a squirrel," said Kennedy, who is known for his colorful colloquialisms.
 
When Kennedy rejected Schumer's request to fully reopen the government, the Senate Democratic leader in turn rejected his request to pay the Coast Guard.
 
"I would remind him whether it's squirrel, jack rabbit or armadillo, that we are the number one branch of government, and we have veto override power. We could get the powers paid even if he won't sign it," Schumer said.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

More likely he's scared of not kowtowing to the groups that support the illegals and being primaried by someone nuttier than Occasio-Cortez.

I think it would be crazy knowing how extensively Cartel have infiltrated our country that there are no politicians being bought.  Whatever they do in Mexico I would not rule it out here.  So we know that they kill politicians in Mexico or they are being bought.  Politicians in Mexico are executed all the time by drug cartel.  And Cartel is everywhere in America.  Performing hits on their enemies.

Schumer is a smuck, a putz, and an ignorant jackal!

Thank God for Donald Trump, and thank God for Schumer, Pelosi, Waters, Wilson, Cumming, Johnson, and Schiff, for they will guarantee a Trump victory in 2020.  Their idiocy is constant, and rest assured, America will grow very tired of their abdicative style of governance.  The American people put these jackals in Washington to REPRESENT them, but when they do nothing, it is beyond mere obstruction.
