Stuff...
Welp, it appears the House Dems caved too... Ironically, it appears 8 of them voted for the Pubs house bill. So the President signed it last night in the Oval, putting the government back to work, at least until January.
And he placed the blame squarely on the Dems for the shutdown, and they accomplished basically nothing, as far as I can see. Other than cutting off pay for a bunch of folks, and SNAP benefits. The President estimated the cost of the shutdown at over $1 TRILLION dollars... sigh
No, flights won’t be back to ‘normal’ anytime soon. The FAA has to get controllers back in towers and enroute agencies, and then the airlines have to rejigger schedules to get planes and crews where they need to be. I will be surprised if this occurs before Thanksgiving. OBTW, it appears the airlines lost appx $100M a day during the shutdown.
And as usual, Michael Ramirez hits it out of the park with his latest editorial cartoon!
He’s definitely NOT wrong!!!
I do have a question though. Why is Bernie Sanders considered a ‘leader’ of the Dems if he is an Independent? That makes NO sense.
Schumer's Stupid Shutdown could only happen in the rarefied world of politicritters. The lack of real-world life experience (oxygen) affects the brain.
When grown-ass people pitch a tantrum (And John Fetterman becomes the voice of reason...) like this in the workplace, its time for new employees.
Nothing the Democrats do make any sense to an intelligent person. Same as it ever was.
