What a waste the NYT has become. You’ll never regain the over century of good will you’ve squandered away line by appalling line.

Now imagine what will happen to everyone’s health insurance premiums when the number of uninsured people increases dramatically.

Destroying your own property investment and revenue stream to play wannabe dictator.

100% this. Finally someone else sees the Epstein Files for what they are; they ARE the distraction!

It’s so obtuse whenever someone says, “he can’t do that.” Completely tone deaf and ignorant.

Does he need to tho? He governs by fiat and 9 times out 10 the Supreme Court approves it.

This is so fucking ridiculous and gets more so everyday. It’s absolutely absurd that 350 million people have to endure this everyday while the Republican Party lets it happen. They could stop it, but they don’t.

Apparently it is working. The New Yorker themselves are using that framing right here in this post.

The Democrats what now? It’s ridiculous that the media have fallen for the propaganda that Democrats are somehow to blame for the shutdown. Republicans don’t need a single Democrat’s vote to open the government or pass a spending bill. To write a story like this is willful and intentional disinfo.

There’s a 100% chance Hakeem Jeffries uses the phrase, “I could care less” when he means he couldn’t care less.

I’m still gobsmacked that in my lifetime I’m witnessing an entire major political party so overly and obviously hate America. They are dripping with disdain for the country and its people.

Idiot. The military recognizes climate change because… it’s real, and they understand that it affects battle readiness and mission critical operations. To ignore it puts missions and American lives at risk.

How the fuck is it a partisan standoff? The republicans have a 53 seat majority & can suspend the filibuster with a simple majority, just as they did a few weeks ago to ram 40+ judges through, so they could do the same and pass their funding bill. What a pathetic excuse for journalism you’ve become.

Another Dem with another terrible message. It really can’t be that hard to say: The republicans hold the majority. If they want don’t want the government to shut down then they don’t have to, it’s their choice.

I honestly can’t believe how bad the Dems are at messaging this. They literally have a golden opportunity and they’re squandering it at historical levels.

Terrible messaging, terrible venue. It’s almost unbelievable how bad the Dems are at this. Like almost unbelievable to the point that they’re doing it on purpose.

I don’t think it means what you think it does. It’s protocol that they don’t clap.

Lol keep cooking, dude. How tf is he going to get “voted out of office” (something the op said T’s not worried about) if there isn’t going to be an election or he’s ineligible? It’s reasonable I asked for clarification on what scenario the op thinks occurs for him to be “voted out of office.”

We’re actually saying the same thing, lol. He said T isn’t worried abt being voted out of office, implying there’s even going to be a vote or that he’s eligible to run. Then everyone piled on me like I’m not paying attention, lol. It’s unreal how many ppl struggle with basic reading comprehension.

He’s a liar. Use your words. The Republicans have the majority in both the House and Senate. No Democrats needed to pass a budget bill.

No one is going to stop him, right. So that’s why saying, “He sure doesn’t act like someone who is concerned about being voted out of office” doesn’t make sense. There will be no vote, so it makes no sense to say he’s not concerned with being voted out of office.

I literally asked you if you think he’s eligible for a third term (he’s not) and your response is, he’s not, but I’m the one not paying attention lol.

In other words, he’s another right-winger.

Do you think he’s eligible to run for office again?

Nothing like gathering the entire U.S. military command into one room to tell the world the U.S. military is weak.

Why does he need to ask the federal government to do it when as governor he can activate and deploy the national guard himself? I swear to god more than half this country has literally lost basic cognitive function.

10s of millions of people will believe it. They believe anything they’re told by the GOP.

Don’t they already limit this content for adults too lol?
