Poll shows opposition to Schumer shutdown

 TrendingPolitics:

Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was laughed off the chamber’s podium this week for suggesting that a New York Times poll showing that Americans blame Democrats for the government shutdown was biased against his party.

The bizarre moment, which led the entire Republican side of the chamber to erupt into laughter, occurred just before the government officially shut down. The Senate Democrats voted down a continuing resolution that had been passed by the House of Representatives.

“Now I know the leader is going to show a poll that says that Democrats will be blamed for the shutdown,” Schumer said, alluding to the New York Times/Siena survey in question. “There are many more polls that show Republicans are blamed. The question in that poll is biased.”
...

I think Democrats are the only ones who wanted to shut down the government, and they did it because of their irrational hatred of Trump and his supporters.  I blame Schumer and the Democrats for the shutdown.  In fact, they were the only ones who voted for it.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
