Dems counting on ATC/TSA issues as well as SNAP bennies expiring to blame the Reps.

Reps counting on SNAP fraud and the Dems taking the L.

Trump seemed very determined during the 60 minutes video.

I realize there is much more going on here, but do the republicans even have a chance on a few Dems switching? MTG showing her ass doesn't help.

I think the longer this goes on, the worse it is for Trump. They need to be out in front with the media to make it clear who is refusing to come to the table.

America!

But seriously, I think if anything it has revealed to the average voter the entitlement of SNAP recipients and the need for massive reform.

Reps seem to be winning.

CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, are turning on their own.
When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say.

The left is back to parroting polls so I'm assuming they're losing. "More unpopular than January 2021 even!"

For every day it's shut down, we should all be able to prorate our taxes.

Maybe they'd then get their asses back to work for us.

Just wait until a funding bill has actual political aspects to it instead of just a continuing resolution

We're using all these savings to eliminate the debt, right?


…RIGHT?!

The largest Fed Gov employee union came out last week in favor of passing a clean CR.

It's obvious that any American who is being hurt by the shutdown has to be angry with the dems who have repetitively voted against reopening the government.
No, I don't care what CNN or Miss NOW said this time

The government shutdown has impacted me zero. I hope it stays shut down until the Dems cave.

They haven't done that in a very long time.

Rs were winning Oct 31st.

This week, everyone is finding out how much more they are going to be paying for health care. It's pretty bad. I feel that this may turn the tide just enough to push the majority against the Rs. It sucks, but Republicans need to get ahead of the issue, and I personally don't think they are doing that.

Dang so now all those recently canned Fed "workers" are going to lose their free junk food too. Sad.

Oh and it seems many of the left media are pointing at the Dems too, which is actually really weird.
I don't think you know me.

The Democrats still have not learned that you cannot bully Trump.

I really think that they are stupid. However, TDS just blinds them.

The tactic of being sneaky and underhanded, which has worked in the past will not work this time.

Well, I was just at an ASTM F38 standards meeting and there were no FAA folks there.

Might have been helpful to get their view on the new Parts 108 and 146 rules...

It's literally in the name.

Not to mention being pushed through behind closed doors. Literally...closed and locked.

I've flown multiple times since it started, including internationally.

Haven't seen anything different.

And if you want the poor people to get stuff, contact your Democratic representative and demand they stop voting against opening the government....

Houston had TSA wait times over three hours this morning, and it was similarly bad at times over the last three days.

And there were issues at other Texas airports as well, with quite a few cancelled flights also.

Anyone who flies will notice. We were waiting to take an international flight Sunday, got to the airport at 4:30pm for a 9:00pm flight because we were afraid of the delay. After checking bags we were in line for six hours, the airline held the plane for three hours because a sold out flight had 200 passengers standing in line. People we talked to who were flying domestically all re-booked later flights and were going to complete the process and sleep in a chair waiting for their flight.

If this gets close to Thanksgiving there will be riots. Our idiot overlords need to fix this!

According to most of the media, Reps are winning.

According to any person who follows politics with conviction, "my team" is winning

Wait times for TSA at DFW have been less than 10 minutes

Unfortunately we have created a system where we have two parties and neither of them are incentivized to end this insanity.

They listen to their bases, one of which is well represented on this board, and as you can see, the majority opinion is that the shutdown is good actually.

It will be interesting to see though if a chaotic holiday travel season changes any minds.
