      That’s why Trump officials are moving onto military bases. MAGA thinks they’ll be on the other side of the gates. In the end, as history rhymes once more, they’ll soon find out their invitation was „lost in the mail.“

      The crux of the matter is really going to be the harmful stuff that happens during the shutdown that did not need to. Like SNAP benefits expiring. Totally unnecessary. *Illegal*, even, given that there are appropriated funds specifically for the purpose of keeping those benefits active during the shutdown.  And entirely because of, at the direction of, trump and his handlers and enablers.

    3. I’d hope so, they literally control all the major branches of government right now.

      That’s like writing the test, grading it yourself, failing, and then blaming the pencil.

      Because it’s their fault . „We HAVE to starve you unless dems handover your healthcare! Food or access to healthcare,  you can’t have both or really either in trumps America!“

      Golden age, my ass. Gold for trump, golden imitation velveta for everyone else. 

      The gop position is that you can’t have food unless you give up your healthcare or the dems give up your healthcare.  They are terrorists of the American people 

      I caught the tail end of a public radio show yesterday afternoon and they had a congressman on (dem, and I didn’t catch his name) and he was saying many of the Republicans were telling them privately that they want to negotiate and help their constituents but trump has ordered them not to and unless he gives the word they can’t and won’t sit down with dems to negotiate.  Trump is a pathetic mob boss and I’m sure that he and his goons are threatening the lives of republican congress people and their families to keep them in line. And they are traitors.

      Wish Democrats had stayed in Washington, shown up at Capitol everyday ready to work, held a press conference everyday with 250 Democrats on the Capitol steps, rain or shine.

      DUH! They’ve spent the past ten months doing EVERYTHING they wanted, and now they’re helpless little babies who need to cooperate? Fuck the fascist Republican Cult

    7. The headline paints a somewhat rosier picture than reality.

      Republicans are footing the blame at a rate of 45%, with 39% blaming Democrats. While Republicans may be taking more of the statistical blame, if you were to walk around town and strike up conversations with people, it would probably feel more like 50/50 in practice.

      The reality is that neither side holds a true advantage right now with regards to the blame game that could be exploited as leverage. If I were a political analyst, I wouldn’t be sleeping well with those numbers no matter which side of the issue I were on.

      They didn’t pass a budget, it’s on them. They went home and stopped working on it.

      As they should, since Trump and has army of toadies are completely responsible

      If these people in the administration had any interest in actually governing they’d spend the energy they do trying to control the optics doing it.

      ‚A government shutdown falls on president’s lack of leadership‘
      – Trump 2013

      The juxtaposition of Trump tearing down 1/3 of the White House to build a $400 million party room, with 20 million Americans losing affordable healthcare is pretty stark.

    13. Popculturemofo on

      Oh you mean all the bots hashtagging “Schumershutdown” all over social media aren’t swaying the populace?

    14. flapjaxrfun on

      Let me guess, 60% blame trump and 40% blame democrats. You could literally write a new news story about this every day. It’s not news that he has 40% support.

    15. Otherwise_Stable_925 on

      Yeah happy record-breaking shut down day. Brought to you twice, by Donald McTrump.

    16. They control all three branches and literally cannot help a majority of Americans with one of their “leaders” in the House telling everyone not to fucking come into work for three weeks in a row to avoid reopening the government.

      This is entirely their fault.

    17. TobioOkuma1 on

      Except dems will cave first because they care way more about people than the gop

    18. I’m sure that’s fine with the GOP. They aren’t doing this to be popular, but to destroy government and replace it with a monarchy.

    19. Frequent-Client1508 on

      Not a single government shut down under Biden. This is number 3 for trump in less than 5 years.

    20. turb0_encapsulator on

      it’s still kind of incredible though that Republicans can use their bullshit media machine to trick 2-3% of the population.

    21. Few_Ticket6959 on

      It’s because what the Republicans are saying doesn’t make sense. They control the WH, Senate and House but they have no power lol? They only needed 7 votes?? If anything it shows how divisive this admin is and that Trump can’t govern for shit. 

    22. Justasillyliltoaster on

      Turns out being in control of the Senate, House, Presidency and Supreme Court carries responsibilities?

      Playing broke when you had over literally $40 billion to Argentina doesn’t work 

    23. If the senate has the ability to continue working, Trump continues to spend millions like normal and Johnson keeps recessing the House over and over, its pretty obvious who is keeping the shutdown going.

    24. Islandboi4life on

      extreme right policies doesn’t agree with the American people? Nawww….

    25. Negotiate.

      That’s all you gotta do. That’s all Donald knows how to do, apparently, is make deals.

      (He’s shit at it)

    26. republicans have control of presidency, congress & senate who else’s fault can it be.

    27. My favorite thing is that even when republicans have complete control they are still made and raging against the government…which is them
