    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 really hope to see her tried in front of an international tribunal and punished accordingly someday

    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 does the real world have to be a YA novel adaptation with paper-thin and one-dimensional villains who are not believable?

    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.

      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

        Hell the last CR we had the GOP pulled back and reallocate funds that the Dems specifically wanted. So even if they do get concessions what can stop the same thing from happening twice?

      It’s quite something when they’d rather listen to some political hack, than to facts and their own kids.

      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 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.

    • 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.

    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!”

      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.

        There is no changing the minds of their base, what matters is getting uninterested voters to realize they need to actually participate in democracy while we still have it.

      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

      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.

      I’ll call it backfiring when anyone does anything effective to stop them.
