How in effing hell is this shitshow of an administration blaming anyone else for this?, when repukes control the three branches of government? If this isn’t the clearest definition of governmental incompetence and corruption then I don’t know what is
Heather Cox Richardson’s “Letters from an American” today included a poll showing that 43% of Americans will blame Republicans for a shutdown and 32% will blame Democrats.
You mean to tell me that nearly one-third of Americans thinks it’s the Democrats’ fault if the government shuts down, even when the GOP controls ALL THREE BRANCHES of government?! How is that possible? Is Fox News so pervasive that a third of the electorate is totally clueless about what’s going on?
I caught only part of your rambling, bumbling, moronic, divisive, hate-mongering, lie-filled RANT (no intelligent person would refer to your “speech” as anything other than a RANT) this morning, and it is obvious to me that all of our nation’s generals and admirals are now fully aware of what the leaders of foreign nations were already aware of – that you, a bone-spurs coward of the highest order, are completely unfit to serve as our nation's so-called commander in chief.
I composed this form letter for American Citizens to send to every Senator and Congressperson:
Dear Senator __________(or Dear Representative ___________),
It is not possible to be so ignorant that you are not aware that the President of the United States is a liar, a fraud, a con, a grifter, a puppet of Putin, a traitor, a convicted felon, a law-breaker, an inciter of violence, a scumbag, a sexual predator, a friend and associate of one of the worst pedophiles in the history of the U.S., an abuser of human and civil rights, a racist, a fascist, a person who has populated his cabinet (and other important positions) with inept, incompetent people who are endangering the safety and security of our country, and our nation's presidential accident and disgrace.
We, The People, damn well know that you are aware of these facts! Therefore, do it now, get rid of Trump. Impeach!
We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Your choice.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

I agree with ANTIFAscist ideology! The term “ANTI” means “not in favor of; against”. The term “PRO” means “in favor of; for”. Anyone who is against anti-fascism is pro-fascism, pro-Nazi. Scum-of-the-earth Hitler was a NAZI. Scum-of-the-earth Hitler was a FASCIST.
I stand against Fascism. I stand for Democracy.
So did my father, who was an officer in the U.S. Army Air Corps during WW2; a Navigator in a Heavy Bomber Squadron. He and his crew, stationed in Southern Italy, completed 50 missions, bombing FASCIST NAZI facilities in Europe.
So did my father-in-law, who was a First Sargent in the U.S. Army Air Corps during WW2; he worked at the battalion headquarters of Heavy Bomber Group based outside of London. His Heavy Bomber Group completed hundreds, if not thousands, of missions against FASCIST NAZI facilities in Europe.
I also want to let you know that I’ve nominated you for THE PRIZE! The prize that you’ve earned. The prize that you deserve. The Novel Piece-Of-Shit Prize.
You will go down in history as the WORST. PRESIDENT. EVER. The MOST. DISGUSTING. PRESIDENT. EVER. You will go down in history as AMERICA’S PRESIDENTIAL ACCIDENT & DISGRACE. Although it would be my preference for you to suffer a massive debilitating stroke or a massive heart attack before you are put in prison, I would certainly be fine with you being put in prison before you suffer your final demise.
We’re getting on with the most important project of the 21st century – "PROJECT 86-47+25.”
Hi Susan, I can't even to begin to imagine how scary your dad's military service must have been. My dad once said to me that he was glad that he was IN a plane rather than on the ground or dropping from a plane!
Thank you & your hardworking team. I would not be able to cope without you. And Joyce, Heather and for absolute stress relief - Uncle Jeff. Paid subscribers to you, I can't afford more right now unfortunately.
Just like Gandalf. Here is the line! You shall not pass! Republicans hold all three branches of government. Even Trump said in 2013,this is the President's fault.
Jay, I'm interested to see what you write. But to answer your question, of course the mainstream media is asking the wrong question, as they have frequently done for far too long. At a GREAT disservice to US, I might add.
They focus far too often on false equivalencies that don't do anything to properly inform our populace -- and which contributes greatly to how we got to where we are now. And all to lime their bottomline for greater profits -- because, for them, Lame Duck and his nonsense helps "sell" the BS they try to pass of as "news."
It should be evident that a Congress whose members (particularly those aligned with the administration's party, even those not proclaiming to be MAGA) neglect their duties and dishonor their oaths by allowing the actions of a corrupt executive branch and its overreach of legislative branch responsibilities are the culprits behind the atrocities occurring and for the passage of a bill that doesn't serve the greater part of their and our nation's constituents.
Why hasn't the media ask why Republicans are so frightened to confront Lame Duck or to counter him? He's the one overstepping and committing criminal acts. They have every right to act in behalf of US (the people and the country) and to defend our Constitution and democracy. Why then do they hesitate to do so? What kind of threats have been made re: harm to them and/or their families? Why not shine a light on that? Isn't LIGHT what makes most who operate in the fringes and under cover of dark run head away from the spotlight? Isn't standing up to bullies what leads them to back down? If they stood together against those forces, wouldn't we support them? So, what exactly do they fear? And why is the media not asking or telling us?
The media's complicity in this attempt at autocratic rule is egregious and unforgivable. They need to step up more than they have begun to do and to go Woodward/Bernstein of the 1970s on this Lame Duck administration, big time!
Schumer and Jeffries tried to get tRump buy-in on "compromises" on the budget resolution, to give them cover in avoiding a shutdown...none was forthcoming, and so they bowed down to overwhelming grassroots support for a walkout and fuck-you to tRump, Thune, and li'l Mikey. Good!
Totally agree. The media is failing us yet again. Even NPR. Today on Morning Edition, it was all about “blame” instead of telling us WHY the gov will likely shut down tomorrow.
Holy cow. It's NOT legal to use federal sites for partisan posturing. Maybe it's NOT an actual federal site. They've been hacked before and even mimicked. This one looks like there is an overlay on the original site. Of course, we know that many of our agencies now have kiddies who grew up learning to do this for fun, now doing it for pay (and probably fun too).
Now that Trump has met with the generals and anñounced his intentions this is a side issue. If the generals do not stand up to him and the military is compromised, we will be living in a dictatorship. Trump has crossed a critical line. From
the consequences of this, there is no turning back.
The way they were spoken to, like chastised school children. The discipline it took to sit quietly and not respond, discipline he couldn’t comprehend if it had a price tag.
Republicans predicted this after rTump's "pocket recision" earlier this year.
Why should Democrats bargain in good faith when they're just going to undo what was agreed upon a few weeks later? Republicans won't keep their word. They can't be trusted
One of the things that Democrats must demand during these "negotiations" is to exercise the "exceptions" clause of Article III of the Constitution. To keep the SCORUPTUS from allowing rTump to just undo whatever funding gets restored by another "pocket recission". Congress has the Constitutional Authority to reign in the SCORUPTUS.
“We haven’t faced a shutdown in seven years”. Ever considered how normalised that sounds? Where does it happen in other countries?We’ve (Australia) never had a shutdown.. Our executive must maintain the confidence of the legislature, more likely to call an election. He’s a madman, he was elected despite the function of his behaviours being a grandstanding, over dramatic attention seeker.

A: Yes.
Too many people are uninformed and have very little education. They just believe what they hear in FOX. Unbelievable but true.

Superb response, Joel!
My dad was a paratrooper with 101st Airborne. He spent time in a pow prison in Italy. I'm proud to be Antifascist!
Hi Susan, I can't even to begin to imagine how scary your dad's military service must have been. My dad once said to me that he was glad that he was IN a plane rather than on the ground or dropping from a plane!
Exactly.
Trump is so stupid that he whines even as he controls all three branches of government.
Thank you & your hardworking team. I would not be able to cope without you. And Joyce, Heather and for absolute stress relief - Uncle Jeff. Paid subscribers to you, I can't afford more right now unfortunately.

....yet have we heard from the dems, other than Congresswoman Stansbury?
Yes. We just haven't learned to listen to them yet. Try harder.
Totally agree. The media is failing us yet again. Even NPR. Today on Morning Edition, it was all about “blame” instead of telling us WHY the gov will likely shut down tomorrow.
I believe that the shutdown is a way to avoid releasing the Epstein Files, only.
Check the HUD.gov website for disgusting message. How can this possibly be legal?? What is Dem response???
Holy cow. It's NOT legal to use federal sites for partisan posturing. Maybe it's NOT an actual federal site. They've been hacked before and even mimicked. This one looks like there is an overlay on the original site.

Finally we’re getting principled fight that I and many other have wanted.
The work you do is amazing.
