The government shuts down. Another spectacular MAGA failure.

[coati]

Well, what can ya say? Republicans prove once again that they can't keep the lights on, even when they control all branches of government.

Next comes another classic GOP economic crash and more war.

And they're just so close to coming up with a health plan--right? After a shutdown there is no more talk of a health plan-- well, until the next shutdown.

According to WITNESSES WHO WERE THERE, and your assertion is simply false. You're describing the mainstream media.

More specifically, according to WITNESSES WHO SAID WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR, and who more than likely share your conviction that everything Democrats ever do is evil by definition. (Just this week, in the same part of NC, there were stories in the news about people being signed up for health insurance under the ACA, and telling the folks in charge to be sure it was the ACA and not Obamacare - they didn't want none of that!) No news source had any way of asking everyone what they thought, after all.

And no, my assertion is not false. The Biden administration sent nearly $2 billion in relief as soon as that relief could be sent: https://bidenwhitehouse.archives.go...-for-hurricane-response-and-recovery-efforts/ . It is simply objective fact that they sent assistance.

For those affected by Hurricane Helene, FEMA has approved over $911 million, which includes $581 million in assistance for individuals and affected communities and over $330 million for public assistance costs like debris removal and other activities to save lives, protect public health and safety, prevent damage to public and private property, and restore public infrastructure.

On June 29, 2019 Ngo was brutally attacked by a group of masked counter-protesters—widely identified as Antifa members—during clashes between far-right groups (like the Proud Boys) and left-wing demonstrators in downtown Portland, Oregon.

Widely identified by whom exactly? The counterprotestors have never been identified, hence neither you nor Ngo nor anyone else has any way of knowing if they identified as Antifa.

He was covering a Proud Boys rally and an Antifa counter-protest organized by Rose City Antifa. (Wait—I thought there was no Antifa organization.) The Antifa thugs told Ngo to stop videoing them and he refused, so they violently attacked him.

The assault was near-fatal and left him with a subdural hematoma (brain hemorrhage.) The incident was captured on video by witnesses, including fellow journalists, and went viral.

Ngo said it left him with a brain hemorrhage. His word is worthless. You're also ignoring the fact that Ngo already had a reputation at that time for going to events like this specifically to bait his opponents into violence that could then be captured on video. If you're going to play games like that, you're probably going to get hurt sooner or later. Which doesn't excuse what was done to him, but it's only fair to acknowledge his own hand in causing the altercation.

They threw "milkshakes" (later revealed to contain quick-drying cement),

Nope. One cop thought the milkshakes looked like wet cement. That is literally all there is to that claim. It's been investigated and there is zero evidence that there's anything to his claim.

Ngo livestreamed as much of it as he could.

Which was the whole point. He's a provocateur.

The video, filmed by Oregonian reporter Jim Ryan and others, showed the unprovoked nature of the assault—Ngo wasn't fighting back or provoking physically.

It was edited to depict that, specifically to fool people like you. And it worked.

Altnews.com is notoriously undependeable when it comes to factual accuracy.

Aren't we a little old for "I know you are but what am I"? Besides, if that's true, you can show some evidence, as I did.

No such people exist, but people like you would say that about Trump if he walked on water. If Trump cured cancer, you'd scream about the loss of research funding.

That argument would hold a lot more water if you were able to point to anything positive Trump had ever done for anyone but billionaires, bigots, and himself. (I'm talking about things he ACTUALLY HAS DONE, not things he said he's done, like winning whatever number of wars he's claiming now.)

What he said was accurate, and he knew people who had used it.

No it was not accurate, and you have no way of knowing if anyone he knew had used it.

Yet your cult repeatedly told us we couldn't get COVID if we got the shot.

Nope. That's what you heard, but it is not what was said. Which happens all the time with you, obviously.

Like the vaccine you forced on all of us. Like everything, it has side effects. But it also worked for some people, if used early, as the 2021 study in the Journal of American Medicine stated.

Apples to oranges. The risk of complications from a vaccine is extremely small. Using ANY drug for purposes other than its intended and approved usage carries much higher risks, in this case risks of heart trouble. And that study you keep referring to simply does not say what you claim it says.

In March 2021, then-CDC Director Rachel Wallensky told MSNBC "Our data from the CDC today suggests that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don’t get sick."

That is not quite the same as "we couldn't get COVID if we got the shot". But we all know you don't do nuance.

President Biden said in July 2021 "You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations."

So you believe, but it's another false belief by your cult.

Well, here's one fundamental difference: our side understands that Biden - like Trump - is not a doctor. He was speaking in generalities, and generally speaking it's true: if you get vaccinated, you're probably not going to get sick. No one ever said it was an absolute guarantee.

The simple fact is the Republicans have absolutely nothing when it comes to healthcare.

Republicans grapple with voter frustration over rising health care premiums

Fifteen years after the Affordable Care Act was enacted, the party remains united in criticizing the law but divided on how to move forward. That tension has come into sharp focus during the government shutdown as Democrats seize on rising premiums to pressure Republicans into extending expiring subsidies for the law, often referred to as Obamacare.

Rick Scott, who swindled Medicare for billions, has the gall to comment on healthcare:

“Premiums are going up whether it gets extended or not,” said GOP Sen. Rick Scott. “Premiums are going up because health care costs are going up. Because Obamacare is a disaster.”

And Dr Oz may be trolling Trump:

Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, told NBC on Wednesday, “I fully believe the president has a plan,” but didn’t go into details.

He surely struggled to hold back laughter when he said that.

The Democrats ought to take this opportunity to promise a real universal healthcare system if elected.

In a Truth Social post Monday evening, President Trump stated “The government shutdown was caused by MARXIST secret agents from the EVIL nation of South Carerdddd!!!!!”

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Tuesday that the U.S. might be forced to close parts of its airspace if staffing shortages amid the government shutdown continue.

They are prepared to shut down the airspace rather than do their job, because gutting healthcare is more important than anything (apart from the Jeffrey Epstein Ballroom).

Blamed? Mostly taking the credit. Apart from flyers, and that could all be privatized, has anyone actually notice they're shut down?

That’s because most of the government isn’t shut down, which you know but you still parrot the moronic MAGA propaganda. Such an obedient sheep.

This morning at his post-mortem breakfast with other MAGAts, the Pig blamed yesterday's election results on his government shutdown. Not knowing how to count votes, he instructed his Senate MAGAts to nuke the filibuster.

The silence in the room was deafening.

Air traffic controllers to Clown Show Administration: “Fuck you. I quit!”

Duffy: ’15 to 20′ air traffic controllers retiring daily during shutdown

“I used to have about four controllers retire a day before the shutdown. I’m now up to 15 to 20 a day are retiring,” Duffy told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.” “So, it’s going to be harder for me to come back after the shutdown and have more controllers controlling the airspace.”

“So, this is going to live on in air travel, well beyond the time frame that this government opens back up.”

In 2021, a study in the American Journal of Medicine found some effectiveness for hydroxychloroquine if used early. But because Trump said it might work, therefore it automatically doesn't.

You mean the one with the following conclusion:

“The current totality of evidence more strongly supports our previous recommendations concerning the lack of efficacy and possible harm of hydroxychloroquine in the treatment and prevention of COVID-19.”

Note not just ineffective but also possibly harmful.

Skybubble found lying in action again.

DOGE didn't do anything but expose the fact that DOGE was a waste of govt. resources.

Yes, and they are trying to drag sane people down with them.
