As it is, after DOGE, there are scores of federal employees being brought back after getting a paid 7 month vacation. How is that for being a savvy businessman?

Ridiculous. Shut it down. They can fire people, who will then sue them and get their jobs back. We've been paying federal worker for up to six months to sit at home and now Trump is quietly bringing them back. It's all a sham. So, the Dems should not worry about this dumb @ss threat.


+1 call his bluff.


He's destroying our country each day....at this point whatever.



This. I am so over the bs.

Republicans have the majority in Congress and the WH. If they need Dems to vote for their bill, they need to work with Dems.


I find the good test is "how would I feel if the parties were reversed?" And the PP needs to think about that. R's have the majority and if they want a deal, then reach across the aisle and find some common ground. Ditch the rhetoric. Act like leaders for a change.

Otherwise, Dems have seen their meeting with POTUS cancelled and been told that R's will not work with them. Ok. Then you own it.


They need 60 votes in the senate, per the US Constitution.

At every other turn, when the roles were reversed, the Democrats negotiated with the GOP.

Huh? The Treasury isn't essential.

Until his 6 whackjob intellectually challenged cronies on the Supreme Court decide that that he does have the authority to fire all federal employees.

Then let them. Red states have far more to lose than blue states. Let them live with the consequences.

This is hilarious.

Shutdowns always cost the government money. Always.

The main drivers of federal
Spending are social security and Medicare spending. Those continue even in a shutdown. He could fire every single federal employee and we will still have a huge deficit.

You know how much the deficit is under trump already this year? Over $2 trillion. You know how much the US spends on federal employees? $300 bn.

MAGA Morons fail at math again.
