This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.


50 years ago?


Yeah, exactly. As long as you recognize this isn’t about changing anything now and it is about winning the future election.
Because once the shutdown begins, everyone on Lemmy thinks that Democrats agreeing to open the government back up without any real concessions is a crime against humanity.
Even though they achieved the only goal they could possibly achieve, which is winning the public opinion vote.
It also means if shutting the government down could result in you losing favor, then it is better to just agree to whatever BS is necessary to keep the government open.


Government shutdowns have historically never worked. All you can expect is to gain favor with the voters next cycle.


Which never works


Yes! Now do it! Nobody is above the law, the ones “protecting the law” most of all!


I’m happy with that. I hope that closer to midterms people start hammering Trump and the Republicans again.


The media as well as EVERYBODY ELSE is talking about it less. Key word there is less. I didn’t say “not talking about it at all”.

Even the weapon did discharge, that would still be ICE’s fault for pepper spraying and beating the shit out of the guy. Maybe be more careful while you don’t know what on his person.

Edit: Mod removed my original post with comment “Bad Faith”. Not sure what rule that is. But it is not bad faith to say the state is not doing anything with the current load of evidence they have.


He shouldn’t have panicked after getting pepper sprayed and beat in the head by numerous police officers. Quit resisting!

I will always remember Eternal Darkness for getting me off the couch to go reset my GameCube cause it appeared frozen. I didn’t get all the way there before realizing the game was fucking with me


In all fairness, they never could have prepared for the impact the internet has on politics.


I was subscribed to Paramout Plus for many years, but they’ve lost me as a customer cause of all their BS. I’m going to boycott their products as much as I can.
