Longest government shutdown in US history - 35 days (Dec ‘18 - Jan ‘19)

Second longest shutdown - 22 days+ (Oct 1st ‘25 - present day)

Both shutdowns occurred under Trump.

How Americans let this criminal lunatic keep failing upwards will vex historians for generations to come.

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

Yes, the only accusations you hear are from those that just assume he must've been involved just because. Some people love to tear people down for no other reason than they are "popular" or receive much praise. Some are racist, some conspiracy driven, or some just jealous.

Totally agree. I shake my head everytime I hear someone so confidently uninformed that they claim Ohtani guilty and MLB is looking the other way because of his stardom.
I admit I dont know much but I read the transcripts between interpreter/bookie and it looked to me that Ohtani had no clue

Welp.

They added that the US president tossed aside maps of the frontline in Ukraine, insisted Zelenskyy surrender the entire Donbas region to Putin, and repeatedly echoed talking points the Russian leader had made in their call a day earlier.
Though Ukraine ultimately managed to swing Trump back to endorsing a freeze of the current front lines, the acrimonious meeting appeared to reflect the capricious nature of Trump's position on the war and his willingness to endorse Putin's maximalist demands.

They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages.

They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely.

They get pardoned when they commit crimes.

They ignore the laws.

There is zero congressional oversight.

Top story when you go to The Guardian this AM. Which it is not when you go to the Washington Post or the NY Times. Apt language here, whereas WaPo describes the day as an airing of grievances as though we are a bunch of whining George Costanzas, not a vast public fearful of losing everything.

A convicted felon who’s already pardoned and or commuted the sentences of thousands of convicted felons, just commuted the sentence of yet another convicted felon.

But the Democrats are the party of “criminals” right?
