National Park Service officials cited the government shutdown as the reason for ordering an elderly Nevada couple out of their home, which sits on federal land.
"Unfortunately overnight stays are not permitted until a budget is passed and the park can reopen," an NPS spokesman explained to KTNV.
Ralph and Joyce Spencer, aged 80 and 77, respectively, own their home, but the government owns the land on which it sits.
"I had to be sure and get his walker and his scooter that he has to go in," Joyce Spencer told the local news outlet. "We're not hurt in any way except it might cost me if I have to go buy more pants."
Similarly, the NPS forced privately-operated inns on the Blue Ridge Parkway to close during the shut down.
“We've been told to make life as difficult for people as we can," an unnamed park ranger told the Washington Times. "It's disgusting.”

Most upper management rangers live inside the parks. I don’t see any of them getting kicked out. I also don’t see the Obama tribe moving out of MY house to a Motel 6 this week.

I hope all these miserable government jack-booted shits die in their sleep. I also hope it is horrible. I never thought I'd ever see the day where I'd agree with this sentiment. But we've arrived.

He could evict all of the Section 8 tenants and those in federal housing projects! Shh! Stop using logic, comrade. This is political theater. I'm sure if this does not have the desired effect, the government will ramp up to shooting people who step or drive on federal land. (Wonder when they'll start barry-cading the Interstate? with tanks?)

Is that a fly on his lip?
Yes, it just crawled out of his brain after delivering another message from the lord of the flies.

“We've been told to make life as difficult for people as we can," an unnamed park ranger told the Washington Times. "It's disgusting.” I'll wager it never crossed that "unnamed park rangers'" little mind to call in sick.

This should apply to the White House as well. It sits on federal land too.
