I’m fuming.

I went on the USDA website and found the following message: “Due to the Radical Left Democrat (sic) shutdown, this government website will not be updated during the funding lapse. President Trump has made it clear he wants to keep the government open and support those who feed, fuel and clothe the American people.”

This tone is not acceptable. I am an unenrolled voter, but this message is clearly biased. In normal times during a shutdown the two parties would sit down to negotiate and compromise in finding a mutual solution. Where are the Republicans? Not in the office, that’s for sure.

I feel betrayed by this drastic language. And it makes me hope the Democrats stay strong for the people, because obviously the right has caved to someone who does not care.
