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
I’m pretty sure partisan ads used to be for election season only.
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…
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.
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 should be zero airports playing that Nazi propaganda.
- The House: Republican-controlled
- The Senate: Republican-controlled
- The Presidency: Republican-controlled
- SCOTUS: Republican-controlled
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
No, they literally don’t.
They don’t and they do. They could blow up the filibuster for good, but they don’t want Democrats to be able to use the Senate fully with just 51 votes.
So, in your own words, they just don’t want to end the shutdown then. They absolutely could if they wanted to.
If they or the democrats vote to blow up the filibuster, couldn’t they just filibuster the vote?
I feel like this is backfiring for Republicans. No one sees them as honest anymore.
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
I’ll call it backfiring when anyone does anything effective to stop them.
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.
Unless you live in the giant GOP media bubble where you don’t hear the truth about these folks. Which is 59% of the US.
Seriously. Just go into /r/conservative and look what “news” they are reading. It is all rage-bait stories about violence in the world caused by people of color or immigrants or leftists. There are no stories at all about the shutdown. I was flying home from vacation two days ago and could see the Fox News stories on a guy’s TV in front of me. It was all rage-bait with no actual news stories, not even fake news stories blaming Democrats for the shutdown.
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?
If democrat your democrat blue team is infallible but if your republican then your republican red team is infallible
With football politics the only right people are the ones making you believe you are part of their football team mean political party same thing here in the United States
As long as the one breaking the rules are from the persons political football team then they are doing no wrong democrat or republican
Actual merits and job performance and anything else that could make or not make someone hirable does not apply here just blind tribal sports politics ruling the day
You made TWO braindead Both Sides arguments under the same post, great job. Forget to sign into your alt account again?
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.
Should be obvious at this point that democrats and republicans both have repeatedly failed to run the government for the people
Both parties are just tools for the owner class and past time everyone sees it
Well, democrats are asking to extend current discounted health insurance costs for everyone and republicans implemented massive tax cuts that gave the top 5% of earners 3-4x the tax benefit compared to the lower 40% Link.
So no, the parties actually take substantially different views on the so-called owner class.
There are differences though, and ignoring them is just as bad as not seeing the problem.
Of course blue and red are different colors with obvious differences
Does not mean not both colors
I remember when I was “bOfE sYdEz” until I got off my lazy fucking ass and started looking up both party’s voting history and criminal conviction history and actually started watching representatives from both sides and how they presented themselves and realized that one side was WAY, WAY, WAY better than the other and that you’d have to be an idiot to play the both sides game, especially when the stakes are so high.
Are you fucking seriously trying to “both sides” this shit? Yes Democrats have leadership problems, but I haven’t seen the blatantly violate the Hatch act and other laws to use the government like this.
As someone who’s followed politics pre-trump. Trust me, the Dems have undoubtedly moved further left, even just 10 years ago.
Usually there’s like 7-10 Manchins and Sinemas. Now there’s just like 3.
