    Is it because the President of the United States of America is a pedophile?

    It’s the best and most beautiful shutdown ever, nobody could do it so magnificent except for perhaps Lincoln, but he didn’t do it.

    because of this, they lost several elections dems recently, the longer it goes the more it benefits DEm, double edged sword.

    I hope I’m wrong, but I expect the strategy to be for Republicans to wait until health insurance open enrollment is over in January, so people are either locked into price increases of 90% or have no insurance at all going through next year.

      I think both parties were waiting to see how the elections go. I suspect shutdown talks will make more progress depending on how the elections went… And they didn’t go well for Republicans.

        republicans almost never win when they create disasters like these, while still in control. they usually put it off til the dems are in power to do this.

What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn’t have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title format

Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don’t like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.

URL format

Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

[Opinion] prefix

Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn’t explictly endorse.

Country prefix

Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn’t clearly mention the country.

Any kind of discrimination will not be tolerated.
