  • 'Shame on you!' Dems erupt on House floor as Mike Johnson orders recess despite shutdown

  • That seems like the best analysis I've seen. In general, you can always assume behind every action is "The worst" as their goals and intentions.

  • I'm aware of this, it's just that shutting the federal government down right now wouldn't seem to help in that goal. They're in the middle of a ramp-up of ICE & federal troop deployments across our cities. That's going to get a lot harder it those soldiers aren't getting a paycheck, no?

    Sitting on it, I think the claims that they'll fire workers, all the other vague claims they've made, is all just a bluff to get Democrats to cave-into their demands, weakening the opposition and legitimizing their deconstruction.

  • I'm curious why the GOP seems to be actively pursuing a shutdown right now, that they have full trilateral control over the Federal Government. Trump already isn't bothering to staff or govern the administrations they don't like, it seems like this would only hamper their goals with ICE & DHS, right?

    Is there even an actual goal here? Or are they betting on Schumer et al caving at the last possible nanosecond?

  • Hochul is towing the line well enough for now, and there's a progressive state politician who's potential run has kept her in check. I'd much rather see AOC primary Schumer.

  • Florida vaccine mandate rollback falters after Trump criticism

    Jump

  • I think Trump does take a little pride in the vaccines, he always took credit for them after all, and it's always put him at odds with the antivaxxers in his base. I remember him being booed at his own rally a ways back for gently suggesting that some people should get the vaccine, of their own accord.

  • Nepal currently being run via Discord after Gen Z uprising

  • No, no it wouldn't. The issues are systemic, not the result of the federal government's existence. Did Britain become less corrupt after leaving the EU? No, because Britain's problems are systemic to their own politics.

    It might make the fight more local, but that's already the case. You can already campaign for change in your state, but people don't do that. The average American doesn't know their local representatives, and don't engage in local poltics. You have to change that attitude, and convince people in the concept of a civil society, in which they are actively participating members.

  • So, like a union... Of American states... The problem is that we've already got that, but people don't participate in those local governments. They show up once every 4 years to vote for president, and get mad when that doesn't magically fix everything.
