WH mouth Leavitt admits Trump's shutdown clowning is because the "president likes to have a little fun every now & then"

4. Worse is the BIG LIE that firing is a "tough choice" rather than a wildly illegal act of revenge.

At least she is telling the truth about 47 being a evil psychopath who takes great pleasure in inflicting pain on others.

Probably one of the few truthful statements she has ever made.

The big lie -- that his vengeance-driven illegal acts (acts that were already being planned, shutdown or no) are somehow "legitimate, tough decisions" -- is being exposed with reports of unnamed WH officials cautioning against the illegal firings and against maliciously withholding funds appropriated in previous budgets.

I'm sure they aren't cautioning against out of any sudden respect for the law. Rather, they are undoubtedly worried about the "optics" when the court slaps down his cruel, wildly illegal threats and grants the injunction the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) are suing for.

The shutdown and resultant ADDITIONAL and UNNECESSARY pain he inflicts are 100% on him.
