Turns out it was the Dem shutdown after all, they kept the government closed, made Federal workers sacrifice their pay, and then dumped healthcare

Starting a nuclear arms race and possible war, all because he doesn't want anyone to see his name in the Epstein files
One deranged decree, and 30 years of global restraint go up in radioactive smoke.
He doesn’t even know which department controls nuclear testing. (It’s the DOE, not the DOD.) These people are so dangerously ignorant, they could end the world by accident.
When will Republicans say enough?!
