OOH, mommy look what they made me do! Really PP, can't you come up with something better than this toddler BS.


This type of vitriol only tells me Ds know they’ve been played and outmaneuvered.


Trump is using it as an opportunity to do mass layoffs and permanently close whole parts of the federal bureaucracy.


Right. But at what point will Trump actually try to govern the country. Also, when's he going to release those Epstein files?


Oh, he's governing. The fact that you don't like it tells everyone he is.


No, he's actually not. At least not democratically. He hasn't passed a budget. He can't adequately run the executive branch. All he's doing is destroying what he doesn't understand, and that's everything.


The House passed a CR. Democrats didn't go along in the Senate.

Oh well.


That's not the same thing as hashing out a budget based on stated priorities and debating it.


You idiots keep voting for GOP and Dem politicians and then magically expect different results. This is the definition of insanity and stupidity.


This is not a "both sides" thing no matter ho many times you try to post otherwise.


I'm so sick of the "both sides" posters. There are two very distinct sides. On one side we have the regular 99% of American people fighting to cling to some amount of control over their Federal Government. On the other side we have the ultra-wealthy political mega-donors who have gained 99.9% of control over our two corrupt major political parties.

I'm siding with the 99% of regular American people and I say eff you to the lost fools out there who are siding with the mega-donors when they themselves don't have the wealth to buy political influence. Be smarter!!

There are plenty of candidates out there who refuse contributions from mega-donors. You could at least support them.


This isn’t a discussion about elections, past or future. It is a discussion about the current government shutdown. Stay focused.

You are on every post with this both sides whining. No one cares. We have the government we have, and we are still allowed us discuss and debate the actions they are or are not taking.


And we will continue to have the dysfunctional Federal Government we have as long as you short-sighted dupes who fail to get the big picture while dwelling on snapshot in time moments of dysfunction and awfulness. History repeats itself. Learn from it.


What do you want people to do right now? Sit on our hands till 2026? Not care what’s happening to are fellow citizens? Not care that Congress is refusing to govern?

I honestly don’t get your point. What do you want people to do other than whine with you have both sides suck?

Yes! This poster continues to bemoan our government, Biden, Trump, our 2 parties, the age of the candidates, etc, etc., but I’ve yet to hear any suggestions on how to get go forward.


Stop supporting two failed entities that have evolved into toxic and corrupt pawns of their already wealthy and powerful mega-donors!!!!!!! How obvious does this have to be for you pea-brain, gullible fools to get it? A third grader could figure this out for god's sake.

My apologies for the name-calling. I still love you all. Just asking everyone to try harder to get the big picture. There is ZERO hope for positive change going forward as long as our country is ruled by these two failed PRIVATE entities.


Setting aside the fact that you are a jerk who isn’t as bright as you think you are, can you please be more concrete in terms of what you want people to do right now? stop with the peripheral “don’t support the parties in power.” What do you want people to do right now to push back against perceived wrongs with respect to the government shutdown and federal budget?


There is nothing "we" can do right this very second. We got ourselves into this mess with very careless and reckless voting habits and the only way we will get out of this mess is by changing our voting habits. Do better! Think!


You think. You do better. Or better yet, spare the rest of us with your nonsense and start your own thread so you can shot at yourself for a bit. Let the grownups talk here.


The "grownups"... haha, you mean the gullible idiots who put Trump in power a second time???

These are the provisions that Democrats are seeking to overturn. CNN literally had this on screen as they were claiming that Republicans were lying about Democrats wanting to give health care to illegals.


What the Democrats proposed SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDES illegal aliens. Republicans are lying about this nonstop even though it says right in black and white that illegal aliens are specifically excluded.

Parolees are illegal.
By definition, asylees and refugees aren’t illegal. They are in the country with legal status— but you know that right?

Can you shut up or at least take a break from this board today. You are exhausting. We get it, you don’t think we can debate anything that is happening because Trump and Biden were nominated in 2024. Most of us disagree and think current events still matter.

They're not salvaging it. They are diligently following messaging from the top congressional leadership, which is to talk only about healthcare for now, because polls show that Americans trust Democrats more than Republicans on that subject.

But in addition to healthcare - this is also about placing the blame for the incoming mass federal layoffs and severe federal funding cuts squarely on Trump. They are coming anyway, so there's nothing much the Democrats can do about it, except encourage lawsuits when it's legally applicable and generally keeping the topic front and center when the time comes. Slashing departments and agencies to the bone will have repercussions on the services that ALL American receive. Populations outside of DC might feel compassion towards the thousands of federal employees losing their jobs, but they will come to feel the lack of federal support at some point. And they will blame the party in power.

How long do Democrats have to keep things shut down before Democrats around the country will forgive them for voting for a CR?

How many cuts must Trump make before they say, 'We had to do it.'?

Bigger question, did Jeffries and Schumer discuss this with Trump at their meeting?
