I’m more concerned with the majority of airports that went “Yes mein Fuhrer, instead of news channels we will play this glorious propaganda video!”
I mean, good on those that resisted of course.
Agreed, the real story here is how many airports are showing this if only a handful have resisted.
Do they say the breakdown? I’m curious how close it is to 50%
Not in this article. And I’m sure they’d’ve chosen a different headline if the percentage was significant. OTOH this story is still developing.
- The House: Republican-controlled
- The Senate: Republican-controlled
- The Presidency: Republican-controlled
- SCOTUS: Republican-controlled
The democrats have literally no power with which to induce a shutdown. This is the work of republicans.
Need 60 votes in the senate and it’s 53 republicans in there atm
so Republicans need votes and to get votes you need policy so its still the Republicans fault for not courting policy to court votes
Agreed.
They can lower it back to 51 like before the no-show filibuster rules and keep it at 51, but that takes away a major tool used for corruption and obstruction. Or they can just not cause people’s insurance premiums to skyrocket next year.
No, they literally don’t.
They don’t and they do. They could blow up the filibuster for good, but they don’t want Democrats to be able to use the Senate fully with just 51 votes.
So, in your own words, they just don’t want to end the shutdown then. They absolutely could if they wanted to.
Yeah, I wasn’t exactly disagreeing.
I’m in the UK so appreciate the extra detail about how broken your political system is.
It’s a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle that, not only can no one agree what the picture is supposed to be of, but also a lot of folks want to burn some of the pieces - different pieces, for different reasons.
If they or the democrats vote to blow up the filibuster, couldn’t they just filibuster the vote?
They’d complain even if they had all of the votes.
No no no, they are still secretly in charge!!!
Punchable face.
You know how much she paid for that face?!
Was it a punchable amount?
One of the funnier signs about the dog-killer.

They should play that clip of Donald trump that says:
In my opinion, I hear the Democrats are gonna be blamed, I hear Republicans are gonna be blamed, I actually think the president would be blamed. If there is a shutdown … I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He’s the one that has to get people together
Why would an airport be “playing” a politically biased message in the first place? They’re for international travel, not deciding who to vote for…
I mean, this is the 2.0 version of an administration that held up relief checks so the vainglorious Taco could get his name on them…
It should be zero airports playing that Nazi propaganda.
“We have always been at war with Eastasia.”
1/2 of china, and 1/2 of russia.
Why does the real world have to be a YA novel adaptation with paper-thin and one-dimensional villains who are not believable?
Young Adult Dystopian literature, imo, is really under-respected. It captures realities of politics and power in a way that is understandable and relatable to even people with only partially developed minds, and simultaneously it depicts those realities in a way that is often more accurate to reality than the more subtle “adult” approaches. Reality ain’t always subtle or complicated. In fact, it’s often such a repetitive tune that anyone who really cares to listen to the music is driven nuts by it and wishes it would play a different melody for once. Novelty is a lot more necessary to make entertaining media, but reality has no obligation to be entertaining. Ultimately, I think YA fiction is often great “by accident”. In being a product for developing minds who are only hearing the endless hymn of humanity now for the first time in their life, it is able to be entertaining without requiring creativity on behalf of the producers - in the same way that gimmicky toys that sold well 50 (or even 500) years ago can still sell well today: there’s a child born every minute who hasn’t seen the gimmick yet and isn’t old enough to be tired of it. But in the case of YA fiction, the exploitation of this dynamic actually frees authors from the constraint of catering to so-called refined tastes that demand things like subtlety, nuance, creativity, unwillingness to rehash the same old ideas, and so so on. These tastes are really just demands for more stimulating entertainment. As a result, YA lit may not be very entertaining to the perceptive adult reader, but by shedding this need for “lowly” entertainment it can ironically begin to function more like “true art”, or at least one flavor of true art: holding up an undistorted mirror to the world regardless of whether you find the reflection entertaining to look at.
I really hope to see her tried in front of an international tribunal and punished accordingly someday
her plastic surgery face mask might escape before that happens.
Her message in all sports makes this world feel even more dystopian. Throw a sledgehammer at her
Would be funny if they played that South Park clip instead.
The day I start seeing state propaganda in airports is the day I stop flying.
I’m pretty sure partisan ads used to be for election season only.
Smartly given they don’t want air rage to become a thing.
Should be obvious at this point that democrats and republicans both have repeatedly failed to run the government for the people
Both parties are just tools for the owner class and past time everyone sees it
There are differences though, and ignoring them is just as bad as not seeing the problem.
Of course blue and red are different colors with obvious differences
Does not mean not both colors
That’s not the start of a meaningful discussion, sorry.
Do you train to be this ignorant? Is there some daily exercise you do to specifically kill brain cells?
Well, democrats are asking to extend current discounted health insurance costs for everyone and republicans implemented massive tax cuts that gave the top 5% of earners 3-4x the tax benefit compared to the lower 40% Link.
So no, the parties actually take substantially different views on the so-called owner class.
Are you fucking seriously trying to “both sides” this shit? Yes Democrats have leadership problems, but I haven’t seen the blatantly violate the Hatch act and other laws to use the government like this.
As someone who’s followed politics pre-trump. Trust me, the Dems have undoubtedly moved further left, even just 10 years ago.
Usually there’s like 7-10 Manchins and Sinemas. Now there’s just like 3.
no that is called aging and dying off
because elections are rigged when the information for the elections are bought/controlled by the same owner class that are trying to sell you products that are also buying politicians and the same owner class that also owns the voting machines that are used to vote for our politicians and the same owner class that owns the local news and national news plus all media
Brother, 48/50 Dem senators voted for Biden’s BBB.
That would be unheard of in a year like 2010.
I remember when I was “bOfE sYdEz” until I got off my lazy fucking ass and started looking up both party’s voting history and criminal conviction history and actually started watching representatives from both sides and how they presented themselves and realized that one side was WAY, WAY, WAY better than the other and that you’d have to be an idiot to play the both sides game, especially when the stakes are so high.
