January 21 - America's Shame

"Those that can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities."

 ~ Voltaire 

This is America's shame....

We are in day 31, the longest running American governmental shutdown in history, and even though there have been previous presidential shutdowns to fulfill campaign promises, there has never been a shutdown in order to break one.  Mexico is not paying for a wall, a trade deal *that is not even ratified* does not pay for the wall, a GoFundMe page will not pay for the wall.

For two years the GOP controlled the House and Senate and could have railroaded almost any legislation through (like tax-cuts for the wealthiest individuals).  But now over 800,000 governmental employee paychecks are being held hostage by a bully tactics and one of the most out-of-touch presidents the world has seen in years.

This balloon is based on the one in Parliament Square on London last year in a multi-day protest when Donald Trump visited, flown in "protest of him, his visit, his racial views, his history of alleged sexual misconduct, and his policies". (Source wiki)
