Okay so I’m angry.
I’m so angry.
I AM ANGRY ABOUT OUR GODDAMN GOVERNMENT WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
Okay so Trump can go ahead and do whatever the hell he wants, shut down the government, ruin lives, ruin the economy etc. (he can’t I’m just angry)
Then he walks all over Iraq like oh yeah I totally got rid of terrorists totally lmao and mettle with Russia oh yes
I’m not usually this “Democratic” or “Liberal” but oh my god this has gotten ridiculous. I don’t mean to offend anyone but seriously I just want to sit down and talk about it with someone.
Because I need to vent
Like
Really
No, I do not. I want to talk with someone who expresses the same amout of anger as I am atm
Bc this has gotten so out of hand.
(I'm just going to stalk bc I'm very angry but I'm also not American and I don't want to be rude)
I'm an interested American.
Nononono Non-Americans please step in and tell us what you think. As an American, I feel like we look like absolute children. @ninja_violinist what do you think we look like?
…… it kind of seems like everything's on fire (metaphorically speaking)
Oof… I'm pretty angry, too. It doesn't really affect my daily life personally, but it's really damaging to some people, and that's being completely overlooked.
(And watch this battle end in another continuing resolution…)
Hahahahahahaa
“On fire”
California
Hahahhah
Anyway technically you’re right.

Lmao wow Emi I see how it is with us Californians
But yeah you're not wrong
Hasn't the gov been shut down a few times though?
I mean, it's so bizarre to me that there is video footage of this man claiming the shutdown, and yet 34 % of the population are blaming the other side?? And there were more as the thing started out??
I didn’t mean to offend the Californians.
Technically everything is on fire over there, and nothing’s going over to help. And now that we’re dropped out of the Paris Agreement, a lot more stuff is gonna blow up and catch on fire. In long term.
Hasn't the gov been shut down a few times though?
Yes, that’s really why it’s not that big of a deal to the Democrats rn

Lmao I know, Emi. I was messing with ya
Hasn't the gov been shut down a few times though?
Yes, but not this long before. It's a bit worrisome, don't you think?

It's been shut down 21 times total, three of those were President Trump. Before this one came around, the longest one lasted 21 days (under Bill Clinton, 1995-1996)
oh
I didn’t know it was that many times. But I knew it was longest yet.
Yeah, most shutdowns are under a week, so people don't notice as much. For example, Trump's first shutdown last February was only for a day

This is only the 10th shutdown in our history, though, and it's the longest, if I'm not mistaken. The first was pretty recent- in 1980. 7 of these lasted 5 or fewer days. No big deal, right? But this one has lasted for what? 35 days and counting? Not to mention this is the second time the government has been shut down since Trump got into office. The other one was only 3 days, but still… that's 2 years in a row. The second longest shutdown was under Clinton- 21 days. Most of us were not alive back then and don't really know the public reaction. There was also one in 2013 that lasted 16 days under Obama. I don't remember that really well either… just that some people were really angry about it.
Wait, wasn't the first shutdown under Gerald Ford in 1976?
Hang on, don't quote me on all of that. I gotta do a little more fact checking. I'm seeing sources that describe that Clinton shutdown as the "worst," but idk about longest. Apparently, there were 2 back-to-back shutdowns under his presidency, maybe…?

Yes, but not this long before. It's a bit worrisome, don't you think?
Didn't Carter do one for 57 days? Has it been that long? I haven't been keeping track.
Nope. Not all at once, at least.
