I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

Notes from Underground:

#Warsaw has opened a #Metroteka in its subway, in an effort to get commuters off their cell phones.

16,000 books, board games, an underground garden, 24/7 returns.

Public libraries and public transport, a winning combination.

It’s clear at pretty much every turn that none of these people have any experience with anything they’re doing and are just playacting what they’ve seen in movies.

It’s a government run by people whose experience amounts to the “I’m not a doctor but I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night” ads.

The longer the govt is shut down the more people get their renewals, and the more people who aren't already convinced will realize that the Republicans are lying that it's about Healthcare for undocumented immigrants.

Also this bill is impossible
