So you criticized for not shutting everything down.

104

Correct. It’s Republican senators fault for not ending the legislative filibuster.

105

Let president Trump slash and burn waste libs pet projects, waste, fraud etc first.

Name one thing everyday that he’s going to slash until libs say uncle.

Not unless an equivalent amount is given to the RNC to use as propaganda for their party.

And why do they “need” extended?

I am against the shutdown, just stating facts. Personal I don’t mind them going away.

I believe their key demand is not about illegal immigrants (although it may affect them in some way.)

I believe their key demand is that they want to undo the Trump medicaid “cuts” they temporarily approved before. (In fairness they never comitted to making their temporary approval permanent.)

At issue is the part of the BBB that declared no more medicaid for able-bodied people unless

  • you find a job
  • or look for one
  • or train for one
  • or go to school
  • or have a young child at home.

(If all you do is smoke pot and play video games and you don’t even TRY to get a job you no longer get free healthcare.)
The Trump proposal seems very reasonable to me. Frankly I wish it would have gone further.

What ARE the Democrats demanding?
I honestly haven’t been following this.

So they are not needed and can go away. Good to know

Poor little dems. The party that lost and they still insist the winning party “must negotiate in good faith and find a bipartisan compromise”. Since when have dems done that when THEY were in power? Sit in the back of the bus, right? Let the winners rule, right? Elections have consequences, right?

Such damn children. Every time. Turn the other cheek and you MUST do what we want too
it’s only fair


Stuff it.

■■■■ this guy.

Reporter: If DOGE Is already reducing the federal workforce, why is it necessary to link more federal jobs cut to a shutdown?

Trump: Democrats want to shut it down, when you shut it down you have to do layoffs. We will be laying off a lot of people that are going to be very affected
 they’re going to be Democrats.

ALl dems have to do is keep the govt going at the current level and work on policy differences in December as usual.

But they can’t do that. That is on them. Losers don’t set the agenda. Unless you want to lower that bar too. I’m sure Reps would love that new precedent when they are in the loser’s seat once again. Or is this once again a matter of do as I say, not as I do? Rhetorical question, BTW.

Lol. If you can’t get 7 people from the other party on your train, you are lousy at leading and deserve to lose your job. Which is exactly what will happen in the midterms.
