Feinstein: 'People die' in a government shutdown
By Brett Samuels - 01/18/18 05:54 PM EST

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) on Thursday ratcheted up her rhetoric against a looming government shutdown, despite her stated opposition earlier in the day to a proposed short-term funding measure.

“Shutting down the government is a very serious thing. People die, accidents happen. You don’t know. Necessary functions can cease,” Feinstein told CNN, calling a shutdown “a last resort.”

Congress must pass a spending bill before Friday night to avert a government shutdown, but Democrats and Republicans have been unable to reach an agreement on a short-term or long-term solution.

So now Feinstein is admitting to be willing to kill Americans, in order to aid illegal aliens.

This, and the fact that the only thing that actually happens in a "government shutdown" is that the Democrats attempt to punish Joe Everyman and hire agents to prohibit them from taking pictures of the Grand Canyon.

Close the Mo-Fo government and keep it closed.

We will have more liberty and maybe Americans might rediscover that God is the Provider - not D.C.

You'd think she'd dial back a bit on the lying, as close as she is to her reward.

No doubt, I wonder what she sold her soul for.

Ted "Left her on the Bottom" Kennedy probably got endless booze and drowning his sorrows in a creek every evening.

But I thought it was tax reform that killed people.

Interesting that she didn't state specifically which portion of the government shutting down would cause people to die ...Social security checks are still going to go out, though those who want to sign up will have to wait. Medicare continues on.  Law enforcement continues on.  Mail will still be delivered (in case she's worried about people being able to get mail order prescriptions.  So ... let's see ... some federal parks will shut down and people needing visas to enter the U.S. will be s.o.l ... maybe she's afraid someone will have a melt down because they can't visit Yosemite.  :shrug:  Gov't workers will be furloughed though and won't get paid, until the gov't re-opens ... yep ... sure sounds like people will die alright.  They may want to think about handing out free meals to gov't employees and their families.  I'm sure Feinstein would pitch in and pay for a few pizza parties.

How lewd, she probably has paid for some.

The little gang of Senators tried to slip one over Trump, favoring extra millions of non-Americans, granting legal status.

Not 800,000 but rather 3.6 million OR MORE. It appears the dem party wants to die on this hill.

Good luck.

People die when you leak intel or divulge important information in the Night Stalker investigation.

Oh, shes lived it very well...at our expense. Evil does not die...look at McCain for an example.

Only the good die young.

Feinstein, on her own terms, is ready to risk killing people to get DACA

Feinstein warns people will die if the government shuts down

People die when the government is open for business, too, some at the hands of the government (perhaps it's indelicate to mention Waco and Ruby Ridge in this context, but there, I did it...)

Sounds familiar.

Image I'll never get rid of was those dirtbags fencing off the WWII monument to all the guys in their 80s and 90s it belonged to.

Note to Franken-feinstien...the Government has been shut down 18 times since the days of you hanging out with George Moscone and Harvey Milk..  No one has died.  Essential services have continued...troops got paid.

No planes fell from the sky...no one died because of the shut down.

Oh yeah and those government civilians that don't get paid during the shutdown...will get their lost wages added on to future checks.

Quit lying.
