December 22, 20186 yr So we have another government shut down. The politicians will still be paid their wages, while most of the Everyman Worker won’t get paid. Those who need the paycheck the most won’t get them.

There’s plenty of individuals within Trumps circle now that have had a hard-on for Iran since ‘03. (Some even wanted to bomb Iran and Iraq together at that point) Kelly, McMaster and Mattis were the only ones willing to push back against that thinking. I have no clue who in the current Trump NatSec bubble would prevent that from happening now. John Bolton has wanted an Iran war for a long long time. Now there’s no one there to stop him.

All he has is hate and thats the only weapon he'll use, which is why building the wall is the only thing that matters to him rn. You get the idea

All perennial war hawks! They might not be as radical as Cotton but they move in the same direction. They just move at a slower pace.

Thing about the shutdown is that it has happened in the past. My family has been there before growing up. The only thing that the current bully in office has done that I sort of liked is dropping the irs penalty for not having coverage. im praying that he’s a one term and done pres.

Frequently, it seems like that percentage is higher. Yes, that's frightenning. I think that new technologies make people think that a lot of conspiracies are possible. Even more frightenning: the media (even the so-called "elites" like CNN) believe conspiracy theories of their own. A good example: the "Russian trolls". There are some trolls for sure, but, now, every time some people believe something that doesn't fit the dominant media narratives, it's because they are manipulated by the Russians. It's like the media are caricatures of Z movies from the cold war.... The "western patriarchy" is another example of a fancy conspiracy theory. Examples, picked randomly - there are 1000s like these: https://edition.cnn.com/2018/10/20/politics/russian-interference-propaganda/index.html https://edition.cnn.com/2018/10/19/politics/russian-troll-instructions/index.html https://edition.cnn.com/2018/12/17/politics/jill-stein-senate-intelligence/index.html https://edition.cnn.com/2018/12/17/tech/russia-2016-election-social-media-report/index.html A fish rots from the head down...
