Closest thing Donnie can relate with is being told he wasn't allowed to golf during the campaign. Rough, buddy, I know.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm old enough to remember when Pedonald and his white wing supporters would complain about Obama's golfing.
Must IOKIYAR thing, as well as a melanin thing.
Well shit. Looks like we have to make HSR and Transit happen now. It's definitely not a good way to get the ball rolling for it even though HSR/Trams/Trolleys/Transit are a good thing but now there is no choice really if people want to get around the country
Being in airplanes at all currently in this country is not viable
Lol, lmao
I'm kind of glad I didn't plan that trip to Germany, now. Been considering relocating permanently, but I need to go and look around first. Cheapest flights are around late Oct to November.
Does AF1 use civilian or military ATC? Would be hilarious if the fat bastard got grounded as a consequence.
Could someone please explain to me what this shutdown is? I thought it's only for government "meeting" for voting etc, but why it also affects federal workers?
It's a stupid American thing. They need a proper form of government.
It's actually the opposite. Congress gets paid and should be working during a shutdown. Although shutdowns shouldnt even exist and only came out of an AG memo from the Reagan administration.
No, the shutdown is because Congress didn't pass a budget to allocate new federal funding. Which means that government agencies don't have any money to pay employees. For most, this means they're furloughed (essentially mandatory unpaid leave), because being forced to work without pay is also called slavery. Some positions, though (like ATC), are considered too vital to shut down so they do it anyway, and in the past provisions would be included in the budgets to give backpay as appropriate. There's some worry that El Taco isn't going to do that this time around, though.
So why doesn't this trigger an election in America?
Excellent question.
