I have to hand it to Democrats. I'm one of the feds working and not getting paid and they manage to make reopening the government feel worse than the alternative.
Like, why did I miss 2.5 paychecks to end up right back where we were before the shutdown started?

Decided that instead of watching Purdue have a bad time against the Domers, gonna watch the AEW All Out PPV instead. Good luck Boilers!

Great game by the Lions to beat divisional foe Bears. It was nice to see that Week 1 was more good Packers D than bad Lions O

I think it's worth clarifying that you do in fact retain free speech while you're in the military. You are in fact allowed to say what you want in a private capacity, including political speech.
I don't know where people go the idea otherwise, but it's not accurate.
