House republicans passed a clean CR through September, extending Biden’s budget, but had language in there to be able to go in and stop certain funds as doge finds things to stop. Some other things in there too, it sure the soecifics

Fetterman is only democrat who said they would vote for it, and now Schumer saying it won’t have any democrat support, outside of Fetterman I guess, so it won’t pass the senate.

Mike Johnson called recess tho, as a gamble to pass it. But on the other hand, if there is a government shutdown, it kind of lets DOGE say, “see, we don’t need anything outside of these essential services”

Kind of a unique gamble by both democrats and republicans.

I think Trump comes out on top either way. He will either get his budget, will be able ton determine what is essential for government function



Edit to show schumer’s floor remarks

Good. DEMs shouldn't go along with anything the GOP is doing at this point.
 
I think it will shut down, neither side of the senate will budge.

I think so too. I think it was a great move by Speaker Johnson to say the house was leaving to put democrats into a corner.

The democrats want to use this as a rally point, to say to their base that they are standing up to Trump. However will only just show that a lot of government isn’t needed and people don’t feel it.

If I understand correctly, he will be able to deem certain things essential, such as ICE and such and keep his agenda going for the most part.

Schumer should and will be blamed by the non-essential employees, and government workers and contractors normally lean democrat.

Also hilarious since democrats cried about how it is the most irresponsible thing to shut down the government, how dare republicans threaten it!

This is Joe Biden’s budget, just certain things can be impounded, if determined to be wasteful spending. How can they object? Lol
 
And it seems Chuck Schumer has completely collapsed and Trump gets a huge win making them look like idiots.

AOC and Fetterman now control the party meow? Lmao




This is after prominent democrats went out earlier, stating why they need a shut down. So their point of resistance is to show they are not united, in disarray, as their constituents riot around, obviously being paid to have public struggle sessions and cry? Lmaooooooo





 
Let the democrats shut it down, it's on them.

The very ones that screamed about when it was the other way.

Shut it down for a month or so and see what happens.

Seems they already caved and trump gets exactly what he wants lol.

But I agree, I think a shutdown hurts them more and no one would notice and all the activist judges trying to slow Trump down will look even worse. “Omg trump is out of line and we can’t fire all these people!”…. “Buuuut we can’t shutdown the government and show we don’t need them”

Great politicking by the republicans
 
And we continue to vote for these people...

We should be ashamed. Both sides.
 


I think this clip yesterday really triggered him. He realizes he has lost control of the party, it has become the party of anti-American, pro Hamas, Marxism, bunch of paid agitators that the deNicest party has lost control of

This deal with defending the organizer of pro Hamas rallies shutting down out institutions. Even wallstreet people like ackman, Jewish, anmong others, actively calling out his party.

Completely defeated and Trump just teabags him

 
Trump owns the Democrats time and time again. Amateurs compared to an absolute pro.
 
The shutdown hurts the Republicans more, they are the ones in power and people are already seeing the chaos with the tariffs and DOGE cuts. It's just more thing to add to the pile. The right wingers here are saying the blame will fall on the dems but I do think Americans overall will blame GOP more. Fuck Schumer. Guy is a spineless coward. Hope he doesn't find the votes but he probably will because that's the kind of country we have now. Sigh...
 
If you want to support a party that wins for its voters then support the Republican Party.
