ONE PERSON.

Not both sides.

It's the Trump McConnell partnership shutdown, with a strong possibility of a silent 3rd partner named Putin.

I believe I know what you're referring to, the woman on Brian Williams show with the brown hair just now who continued the corporate media's narrative, and its that BOTH sides are responsible for the government shut down 🙄

Yes, it's sickening isn't it? 🤢

Not just her, but she was so maddeningly blatant about it it was either make this post or kill my TV

My son bought a Nerf dart gun on Amazon. He shoots the darts at his TV.

Apparently it's a safe place in a crowd for people in front of and behind the cameras who like their jobs way too much to do them honestly.

I have yet to hear corporate media using the phrase "abuse of power."

Time to call my local media outlets and show sponsors to complain. I'm also gonna call to tell them to stop showing high speed chases too -- use the time and money to cover important civic issues instead.

for a clean budget if they so wanted to and Trump could not do shit other than veto it and then they just override it.

FUCK THAT. I don't think we owe trump any fairness anymore. He's squandered all rights to that kind of consideration.

again and again.

I want to have the Fed workers paid now, but this president is loco. He will latch onto a win, and do it again. We are in a bad way. Here we are. I don’t know what to do. My hope is with Nancy Pelosi.

that's what their GOP-controlled corporate board members and directors tell them to do. Some honest journalists have already let that cat out of the bag.

This shutdown is a Libertarian's wet dream shutdown - they get to see chunks of our government ridiculed and then destroyed.

Trump, Pence and the turtle are their useful idiots............

was spewing both sides crap. I immediately turned it off.

Not both sides. The Republicans can't stand the fact that Nancy and Chuck are standing up to the orange bully in the White House.
Two people--Turtle and Hair Shitler-- are responsible for this mess.

Both sides my ass.
