    Republicans knowingly lying?! Psht! Next you’ll be telling me the sky is blue.

    Don’t get me wrong it’s great to see it openly acknowledged. But all the obedient stations will simply repeat what was said. Without noting the facts in a misguided attempt to maintain a neutrality that doesn’t exist. Drowning out all the rational people calling it what it is.

    Finney accused Trump of downplaying the significance of the shutdown by making it a political issue.

    Can anyone explain to me in what world this wouldn’t be a political issue? I mean, how do you “make” this political? Its very essence is inseparable from politics.

      It’s weird when “political” has become such a dirty word that even one of the most political things, such as setting a national budget, is implied shouldn’t be political
