They should play that clip of Donald trump that says:
In my opinion, I hear the Democrats are gonna be blamed, I hear Republicans are gonna be blamed, I actually think the president would be blamed. If there is a shutdown ... I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He's the one that has to get people together
Why would an airport be "playing" a politically biased message in the first place? They're for international travel, not deciding who to vote for..
I mean, this is the 2.0 version of an administration that held up relief checks so the vainglorious Taco could get his name on them...
I'm more concerned with the majority of airports that went "Yes mein Fuhrer, instead of news channels we will play this glorious propaganda video!"
I mean, good on those that resisted of course.
Agreed, the real story here is how many airports are showing this if only a handful have resisted.
The democrats have literally no power with which to induce a shutdown. This is the work of republicans.
Need 60 votes in the senate and it’s 53 republicans in there atm
so Republicans need votes and to get votes you need policy so its still the Republicans fault for not courting policy to court votes
Agreed.
They can lower it back to 51 like before the no-show filibuster rules and keep it at 51, but that takes away a major tool used for corruption and obstruction. Or they can just not cause people's insurance premiums to skyrocket next year.
So I did some ducking around for a list of Trump's hatch act violations, and it seems there where so many during the 2020 campaign that nobody has gotten around to compiling a list of ones so far this year.
Apart from this, I know he's used the whitehouse page as his personal blog, and the housing administrations was being used for a political billboard...
What's the latest rule on how many times one has to blatently break a law before it goes into effect?
My 86y old Dad was trying to tell me "but it's Chuck Schumer holding back the vote". When I explained that the three branches of govt are controlled by the Republicans he didn't want to hear it.
Years ago my dad said Obama left the economy in tatters after his 2nd term. I started opening my laptop and said we'd go to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' website so we could look at the hard data over time. He changed the subject and walked away.
I don't really talk to him anymore unless necessary.
They're brainwashed to a degree that can't be fixed. They're gone.
It is not feasible to deprogram over 100 million people. Not sure what comes next.
Nope. And typically when people are deprogrammed it's because they make the commitment to themselves to do it. That's not going to happen here.
Honestly, what I'm assuming comes next is that over the course of our lives this country will turn into something between North Korea and Russia. There's just too many low IQ brainwashed fools and not enough people left over willing to do what needs to be done to fix this. And this isn't WW2. The rest of the world isn't going to step in to sort it out for us.
thats exactly how these low information people react when confronted, they stop talking about it, they pick up the habit from FOX, to avoid hearing about the truth, so they can keep thier lie going.
It is amazing how the democrats are simultaneously incompetent and weak yet at the same time they still control everything even when the right is in charge of everything.
Republicans have given zero concessions in the spending bill, yet half the country voted for Democrats. Democrats are asking for basically nothing, yet Republicans won't compromise even slightly
It's not a coincidence that we have yet another shutdown under Trump. It's a strong arm tactic Republicans use to give zero concessions when passing spending bills
It’s a strong arm tactic Republicans use to give zero concessions when passing spending bills
Punishing Americans as a strategy. Seems like something an enemy of our nation would do.
It's quite something when they'd rather listen to some political hack, than to facts and their own kids.
They dont like it when facts and logic get in the way of their hatred.
I'm pretty sure partisan ads used to be for election season only.
It should be zero airports playing that Nazi propaganda.
I really hope to see her tried in front of an international tribunal and punished accordingly someday
I feel like this is backfiring for Republicans. No one sees them as honest anymore.
I'll call it backfiring when anyone does anything effective to stop them.
Why does this country get amnesia about republicans everytime a democrat is president? Trump and Elon laughed about Union Busting on a public Twitter space call….. LITERALLY LAST YEAR DURING THE CAMPAIGN
Their base is a bunch of morons, they either STILL don't get it, or will NEVER care. Because aside from pure morons is the pure evil group that gets off on this shit.
Why does the real world have to be a YA novel adaptation with paper-thin and one-dimensional villains who are not believable?
