More than half of ALL government shut down days in the history of America have come under just one president.

Simply put, the man is a terrible leader.

Hey, you idiotic propagandists at the New York Post:

God Bless America isn't the national anthem. It's a SHOW TUNE written by Irving Berlin.

Mike Johnson is the most corrupt Speaker of the House ever.

And that is saying a lot!

Swear-in Rep. Adelita Grijalva! Release the Epstein files!

The Nobel committees are not stupid. Nor are they corrupt.

The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.

Great demonstration.

When these House Republicans don’t show up for work, they shouldn’t be paid! This shutdown is on THEM and their dear leader!

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

Who runs —and has run for the last thirty years — Fox News?

Right wing radio has also been a big influence for decades. Starting back with Rush Limbaugh.

The internet is problematic of course, with Russian influence but it’s just one source. So much of the propaganda is home grown.

His polling even among Republicans is dropping. Slowly. So much depends on people actually voting. Had democrats come out and voted —we might have won in 2024

But the reality disconnect between repubs and Dems is true.

How many Republicans disapprove of Trump’s performance? New poll says...

The poll found Trump's numbers have shifted among a key voting group.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Yes… extremely corrupt.

Giuliani!

And the current one, Eric Adams.🙄

PCNiles @pcniles.bsky.social · 16h

Excellent (CNN).

I watch MSNBC.

PCNiles @pcniles.bsky.social · 16h

Good!

Wear gloves.

And then —remember to return the book with additional info if you have some…

Perhaps at a different location?

It’s hard to predict at this time what the situations will be.

But we need to think about it and come up with some plans that cover a variety of scenarios.
