The point you fool is that Trump is prioritizing this while he’s taking away good and health care from millions of people.
“For whatever reason they want?”
There’s enough cynicism in the world. No reason to add to it.
Pelosi opposed the ban on stock trading for years.
He made 3 mistakes. Garland. Not doing enough on inflation early enough. Not hanging it up earlier and allowing an open primary.
Only people who have never been hungry in their lives talk like this.
But only Trump can make a deal to emend the shutdown which he refuses to do so…

Around 384,800 Mississippians who rely on food assistance will not be able to access SNAP benefits starting Nov. 1 due to the government shutdown, the Mississippi Department of Human Services announced on Friday.

SNAP benefits may be “delayed or may not be issued” next month, the agency said.

They’re so cynical! It’s so cool!
Well Landry is going to own himself because no good hire will now want this job? Who wants a Governor as their boss looking to blame you at any turn for short term political points.
I really have no idea why he thinks what he’s doing is going to get him a good hire. LSU should be a better job than Penn State and he has by himself made it a worse one.
No he already trashed Obamacare. Now he’s trying to blame Dems for it being trashed.
Raises the salience of kids getting tear-gassed or being too scared to do Halloween.
Tara isn’t the one under federal indictment and I think she knew that and used it to make a splash.
The end of the Cold War really broke these dude’s brains. They wake up everyday thinking up new problems they can create just to feel alive again.
I’m wondering if Jones gets more conservative feds in the DC burbs who are mad at Trump than one might assume.
Trump has done everything to communicate that he likes the shutdown and has chosen it as his preferred option.
Yes, because avoiding making enemies unnecessarily is a good thing!
Apparently all you have to do to get a prestige media outlet to become equivocal on anything is to just assert something regardless of whether it is so. Trump could get you fools to say maybe the earth is flat, we have to check again.
A constitutional amendment was passed expressly forbidding it so no there is no “legal” path to this at all!
Part of the answer is old gas pipes cost a lot of money to maintain and replace. But gas utilities have lots of inefficiencies and you should call your state rep and ask why they’re getting paid so much.
