Thursday marks the 30th day of the federal government shutdown and the American public has grown more concerned about the shutdown throughout the month and more disapprove of how Donald Trump is handling the federal government, according to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel.

More Americans blame Trump and the Republicans in Congress than the Democrats for the shutdown, the poll finds.

    I will be very unsurprised if they end up giving Blackwater a fucking enormous contract and then set them lose on the public. They have… shall we say, quite a track record in Iraq.

      Yeah, the run up for ICE is too slow, and they’re not coming out of the pipe willing to kill people. Blackwater and the various other mercenaries in the US (don’t care what hairs you wanna split, they’re mercenaries) absolutely are willing to massacre whoever so long as their paycheck cashes.
