They can blame Dems all they want, but this is a MAGA REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN(I almost typed "shitdown" and that would be a better description!) Dems have drawn their line in the sand and refuse to be used to help Republicans do their dirty work of gutting healthcare and healthcare funding for millions of people! It's "cruel and unusual punishment" against Americans!

This administration is nuts. There’s no intelligence nowhere and they want the rest of the country to be nuts too and poor misled scared ruled over. By fear, policed by fear. but they’re stupidity is over fucking whelming because they think the American people the majority is gonna fall for that shit. We are under the most stupidest administration the most traitorous administration, the most hateful administration because of the man that they have bowed down to and they’re sucking the socks right off his feet just to make another fucking dollar or two weaken a society that has defended freedom and rights for everyone. We’re lucky we have people like David Packman, and all independent media right now

It’s sad how about your farmers and their soy beans. I’m afraid that Canada bought up those markets and our farmers are doing really well. It’s a shame that your president is such an idiot on tariffs. For me at all comes back to, you get what you voted for. I know it’s harsh but oh my God there’s an election coming. I hope people are watching and taking notes.

Airlines…scary. All else just smh in disgust. Trump is too interested in watching football on t.v. and FOX NEWS rather than doing his job.

We do not need troops in our cities nor marshal law. Are we moving towards a communist state?

"Fake news!" the Orange one yells. Really? "Fake government!" is the honest reality. Call it what it is.

Republicans Scrooging Us

Grandparents and children are dear to us.

But the government continues to sneer at us.

With prices exploding, 

Air traffic imploding,

Illboding our Christmas this year for us.

I can’t say AOC’s move is wise at all.

And we should all DE-capitalize “antifa” to ensure we aren’t contributing to misinformation
