Trump math on the government shutdown costing 1.5 trillion is a whole new level of Trump math.

Someone is panicking

Ex-Real Wolder, Sean Duffy says that he vows to seek revenge on air traffic controllers who fled during the government shutdown.

God I miss Pete Buttigieg

The White House; Trump does know that because of his involvement with Virginia Giuffre he is now referred to as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and is basically being banished.

Why does the White House think this is a good strategy?

So…The White House named the victim, Virginia Giuffre, who spent hours with Trump at Epstein’s home in a fiery response to Democrats releasing the emails.

Arizona Rep. Adelita Grijalva will be sworn in at 4 PM EST today, she will sign the discharge petition right after. There will be 218 votes.

Oh, those emails

House Democrats just released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Trump had "spent hours at my house" with one of Epstein's victims — among other messages that suggested Epstein believed Trump knew more about his abuse than he has acknowledged.

Why can’t people understand that I just want to play my game in peace and quiet?

I don’t want to hook up with anyone. I don’t want to swap life stories. And I DO NOT want to share any personal information.

I just want to play Scrabble or Mahjong or Solitaire so I can shut out all the madness.

Wish I could say that I’m surprised, but no.

As these knee-jerkers rage about Democrats caving, what I hear is that they wanted 40 million US citizens, roughly 16 million US children to starve and federal employees continue to go without a paycheck.

they can’t use SNAP benefits as leverage. Another government shutdown is entirely on the Republicans.

People, the knee-jerkers, get that it’s not our problem anymore? Democrats laid everything at the feet of Mike Johnson and John Thune. If they don’t come up with something, extend the ACA subsidies by January when the CR expires and the government shuts down again,

Trump, who claims to have a very big brain, says "Nobody knows what magnets are."

3rd graders know what magnets are.

As corrupt as Thomas Wolsey was, and he was corrupt, even he knew a flat tax rate was bullshit and unfair towards the poor.

One shilling was taken per pound from the income. The old fixed tax of 15ths and 10ths meant those who earned very little had to pay, in taxes, almost as much as the wealthy.

Don’t Republicans float around a “flat tax” idea every so often?

A bit of history:

Did you know that “Subsidies” have been around and used since Cardinal Thomas Wolsey’s days?

Wolsey, along with the Chamber John Heron divised the taxation system that was based upon accurate valuations of the taxpayer’s wealth.

Going to let the knee-jerkers have their rage fest. Not going to engage with any of them. I’m off to play online scrabble.

which is why you'll see interviews of Republicans trashing “Obamacare” while praising the ACA.

The only alternative to the ACA is universal healthcare.

MAGA/Republicans forgetting that the ACA (Obamacare) was originally Mitt Romney’s plan in Massachusetts when he was governor. Obama just implemented it national.

Republicans rebranded it as "Obamacare" because they know their base is horribly racist,

Same with the Democrats in the Senate who are saying Schumer should step aside. I don’t see any of them stepping up.

All these knee-jerkers want to burn it all down, but not willing to step up to repair or rebuild anything.

I like AOC, but as far as I know, she has not expressed interest in running for Senate (yet) nor has she ever said she wants Chuck Schumer’s job as Senate Democrat leader.

Those calling for Chuck Schumer to be replaced, (I don’t disagree with you) who do you want to replace him with? AOC or someone else? If AOC, who do you replace her with in the House?

Those of you who believed Trump was a great business man (because you watched him fire people on TV), where do you think those $2000 stimulus checks he just promised are going to come from? Apparently all $3 trillion has already been spent.

Trump basically saying he’s already spent the money? Congress abdicating our nation’s wallet to a man who bankrupted casinos was always going to end like this I guess.

And who will people pay for healthcare insurance? The insurance companies. Either way, the money goes to the insurance companies .

He literally has no clue.

So many need civics lessons

WOW…Volnado

One perspective I come from (I come from many different ones), my parents, mother and father, often went hungry so my siblings and I never would. My parents went to food banks so my siblings and I could eat. My parents often went without so my siblings and I didn’t.
