Perhaps facing reality head on is the most honest way to try to escape it.

  3. Don't overthink the government shutdown. The reason for why everything is shutdown is because of Obama. More aptly and accurately put...Trump's deranged envy of Obama.

    The GOP wants to kill Obamacare...the Affordable Care Act...the key arguing point of this legislative stalemate.

    Why does the GOP want the ACA eradicated? Because...it's Obama's greatest success. It's a keystone piece of legislative history that works and will define Obama's legacy forever...something Trump will never have.

    Trump hates that reality. He hates that Obama was a better, more successful president...and quite frankly...a better man.

    So, the GOP does his bidding. They'll starve kids, stop paying federal workers (and thus tank our economy), and threaten national security—all to erase Obama's name from history.

    Pure, weaponized pettiness.

    1. That is what conservatives have been saying for nearly 10 years. The ACA was Obamas greatest achievement. As a person who had GREAT insurance at 200 per month Obamacare took that away. Because we were good earners Obamacare increased our rates to over 600 per month. It took us 2 years to find a job that had good insurance plan. His words were if you like your insurance, you can keep it.... LIE. If you like your doctor, you can keep them ANOTHER lie. And using your words that is the best thing he did for America...Shouldn't you be out protesting Ice instead of talking crap on Blog? Or riding your bike naked through the streets of Portland?

    2. DUDE~
      How do you figure?
      Dems created the plan that got canceled in March.
      THEY GAVE IT AN EXPERATION DATE!

      It expired, Republicans wont renew it. Dems now claim they want it back.

      Meanwhile, it would cost 310 Million tax payers more in taxes while they simultaneously pay for their4 own premiums..... just so 22 Million on ACA dont have to pay premiums for themselves.

      ITS TOTAL HORSE CRAP!

      Dems are the ones voting no to opening the government while they demand they want to tax AKA PENALIZE anyone who doesnt have ACA.....

    3. it's a shame idiots like you are the reason the US doesn't have universal healthcare. Every single industrialized country has it except the US... because you're a gullible dupe that falls for the propaganda by Republicans and insurance company lobbyists. And no, sweetie... single payer healthcare doesn't cost in high taxes. It's more efficient and effective and costs less in the end. That was Obama's goal but you halfwits blocked it.

    4. I think you give Orange Shitler far too much credit. He's barely human... just a ball of greed and revenge. He's a meat puppet operated by the Heritage foundation and the billionaire class. It's an "arrangement"...they use him, he uses them. It's not Shitler calling the shots, it's his puppet masters.

    5. his first WH visit, first 2 years there was no plan. His only "wish", no planning, was to undo anything Obama. His jealousy, tiny hands, low-self esteem and wish to be loved is something he still will never have. Can't win love by the use of force.

  6. So, the fallout of the shutdown, a direct result of action/inaction by congress; is being dealt with by the executive branch and per democratic SOPs there's no "right" way to handle this.
    Hey Congress!!! We all know who's responsible for the shutdown, and they don't reside in the Whitehouse. It's sad to watch just how far democrats are willing to let this go. How many people they are willing to starve or put out on the street. Stop lying and telling people that Trump is responsible for this.
    News Flash!!! I don't even like Trump. However, I'm not dumb enough to buy what congressional democrats are trying to sell. So shut up, do your jobs. Your jobs, btw, are to SERVE the American people, not trying to negotiate a better political position that ultimately serves only a select few (yourselves included).

  11. I love how people are sitting there saying oh it’s this purchase fault or that breaks fault this party‘s fault that fault but they forgot he’s running the country. It isn’t democrats running the country. The only thing the Democrats are doing is trying to keep people’s insurance and that means your grandparents insurance your neighbors insurance who works three jobs, but still can’t make ends of me. It’s those people not the rich not the entitled and not apparently the idiots that think everything is somebody else’s fault because if they vote yes and get bullied into this then that means guess what if you have a pre-existing position you’re gonna get your insurance canceled. You’re not gonna be able to get any at a reasonable rate. It’s at all that’s what the Obama care act or the affordable care act does it stops insurance companies from bullying pre-existing conditions so people can get the healthcare and the insurance they need so they don’t go broke or die in the process because they can’t afford the treatment but apparently a mega and you idiots don’t give a crap about that. You only give a crap about yourself and that’s the problem and that’s Trump‘s problem. You want to be the biggest bully on the block and it’s gonna backfire in his space and when it does, he’ll still be a bully and he’ll sit in his golden Palace that he’s building and we’ll have the same bull crap that we did four years ago.

    10. reading is tough, huh? It doesn't say HE said that, it says his administration said it.

      Because of the shutdown they are cutting back service to 40 airports.

      Thanks to Republicans 42 million people are losing their SNAP benefits, insurance premiums are skyrocketing for millions of people, and your already strained air traffic control apparatus is failing.

      Are you tired of being great yet

    11. republican shutdown ? hmmm so far republicans voted to open 14 times dems vote no , and insurance is obama care and has been . Sooo theres that

      Delete
    12. Dems voted no because the new budget allows the expiration of Obamacare subsidies, causing the increase of healthcare costs

      Trump and Republicans gave ICE more money than some than the militaries of some countries but are cutting SNAP benefits for 42 million people and healthcare for 18 million people

    18. reading comprehension is important. The post states the “Trump administration”, not Trump. The FAA (Federal agency so part of the Trump admin) announced that airlines would need to reduce flights at 40 major U.S. airports — starting with about a 4% reduction, rising in the coming days to ~10% by November 14. The administration also warned that if the shutdown lingers into Thanksgiving week, the cancellations could escalate to 20% or more of flights.

  34. Issues with understaffing in the FAA began as soon as Trump took office. He allowed Musk to cut hundreds of positions to help better afford tax cuts for billionaires. Now this. Trump sucks as a leader.
