    I’m too scandinavian to understand. Please explain.

    EDIT: Looming shutdown due to McCarthy thinking he could toilet train the more disgusting segment of his menagerie. Thanks.

      Pending American government shutdown due to selfish and blatantly evil Republicans. So many people will suffer.

        Why do Americans vote for republicans? When I listen to what they have to say and who speaks, I cannot imagine anyone except the 5% who always like the dumbest stuff to actually vote for them.

        They shouldn’t exist, but they do. USA needs to change their two party system fast, or it’s going to keep going down the toilet. You are one Trump away from becoming fascist state.

        Seriously. You couldn’t have picked a more obviously dumb person than Trump. I wouldn’t trust him to be able to do anything. He wouldn’t be mentally capable to do any particular job I can imagine. Nothing that requires physical skill or reading. Anything requiring education? I cannot see him manage to do that either. Wouldn’t want him in any position of responsibility of anyone I care about. Yet, that’s the guy half the population likes? And would think it’s a good idea to be in charge of it all? The town moron who can barely tie his shoes? It’s so disturbing, that I’ve tuned out of American politics since 2016.

      America is a failed state and if our right-wing extremists aren’t given everything they want, they will prevent the government from being able to literally do anything. Because American laws state the government has to decide how to pay for things before it’s allowed to function.

        I was aware of the things you claim, I just didn’t know there was a shutdown looming.

      Everything the GOP does makes sense when you filter it through a “do our big domestic or foreign doners ?” lens.

      And remember the biggest foreign doners would be folks like China, Putin, and the House of Saud, who wanna get paid and see the US Gov collapse.

    We should stop giving public money to private businesses anyway. Hopefully the crisis will push people to enact state-provided childcare, like we already do for elementary and secondary schooling.
