Opinion War Room Government Shutdown over/under predictions

Irrelevant comment is irrelevant.

So you have 0 skin in the game. All you know is whatever you think you know from you choosing sources.

This shut down is on the democrats. They are doing what they said shouldn't be down when they had control.

It's not the democrats, and you continue to show how fucking ignorant you are, it's honestly amazing. Trump said the shutdown is on the President, in 2016, so now it's not? Jesus christ you people are pathetic 😂
 
The demorats shutdown is getting more interesting. I hope they dont pass SNAP funds because the demorats didn't want to pass temporary pay for government works but they are still getting paid. Bernie say the legislators can't afford not to get paid.
Dude, you need to get offline and reassess your life. Demorats, libtard, libs, leftists, you're so cooked in the brain. You are the type of person MAGA loves: old, ignorant, hateful, and gullible.

You're a dumbass, a loser American.
 
Typical lib response. Should’nt you be protesting the Whitehouse construction?
Typical dumb fuck response lol. All you losers do is "demorats/libtard/libs/leftist/leftists", you're so pathetic that you latch on to pet names to talk shit to.

No normal person does that lol you're fucking shook in the brain. Major problems.

Monkey see, monkey do.

Both sides of the divide and conquer are guilty of the same shit.

All the have to do is pass a clean extension bill. The Republicans are not adding anything to the extension. Its the democrats that want shit added to it. Fuck them pass a clean bill like they were all for when the rolls were reversed.

You like all liberals throw a fit when someone says no. Then you cry not fair if your own weapons are used against you.


The shut down is on the democrats. They even admitted they are trying to use it as leverage. Fuck them let It go on.

The Dems want 1.5 trillion dollars smh

$1.5 trillion is fuckin' political theater with an overdraft fee -- the government prints (false) promises, wall street blows bubbles (not the clown) -- and main street eats inflation (shit) sandwiches. Working as intended -- business as usual.

“Investment” is just code for buying votes with your grandkids’ credit limits -- Both parties treat the debt ceiling like a goddamn religion -- worship the debt -- preach the miracle -- and promise salvation... well -- right after the next campaign donation....

Negotiations? How in the actual fuck do they work?

Get bent.

A rational person would start with this -- If “negotiations” start at $1.5 trillion (what-in-absoloute-fuck) -- they got better drugs than the average junkie does. It’s meant to make $800 billion sound “reasonable” I guess -- and give each other stroke jobs every chance they get if they get dollar #1 out of it?

At any rate, it don't really feel like either side is "fighting for the people" as we hit day 28 now... looks more like they’re fighting over who gets to claim "the people" in the next propaganda (my bad) "campaign ads..."

Typical lib response. Should’nt you be protesting the Whitehouse construction?

Fair jab! The white house construction crew IS doing more for the country than congress currently -- at least they show up, do a job -- and leave something standing... Wait a second... well, at least they show up for their job...

(D) call it negotiation -- (R) call it discipline -- What it really is, is two parties playing chicken with your paycheck. Katherine Clark admits it’s leverage, and the other side cheers the wreck because it hurts their rivals. I do find it odd that no one on the left has defended her statements -- or even cares to discuss them. She said the quiet part too loud -- like a queef she couldn't squeeze back in -- I guess they are too polite to comment on it, best to ignore...

It’s not right vs left anyways -- it’s self-interest vs the public. Different clown show -- same circus tent.
Typical lib response is Nazi, fascist bla bla bla. Look at all of your dumb protests. Democrats are a joke at this point.

The only thing they ever agree on is keeping you angry enough not to notice they’re both on the same fuckin’ payroll -- and somehow the checks keep getting bigger....
 
Lol imaging writing that thinking what?

No they don’t.

But it’s even funny watching you guys pretend like 1.5 trillion to help the middle class and poor is too much when you were just fine with 5.5 trillion in debt to give tax cuts and subsidies to the wealthy.

Minimum Dems want to reopen the government is extending the ACA subsidies which is roughly 35 billion per year.

what do you think will happen ? I think the dems buckle and pass the CR before Halloween, the SNAP benefits will be ugly if no funding is there Nov 1st.

The dems might be able to work with Trump and a few others on the ACA subsidies. I think that is something Trump wouldn't mind giving involved with , one of his most major failures is health insurance. If you can't replace what's already there with something better then at least help the people.

Either that, or the Republicans go nuclear and end the filibuster entirely to reopen the govt. You know my views on the current GOP, I think they’d love to eliminate having to listen to the minority party at all if they could. I think what’s holding them back now is wanting to make sure there’s enough popular support for it, and probably they want to feel sure that they’ve rigged enough maps that they don’t have to worry about losing power after midterms. They don’t want Dems getting power and wielding the same weapon.

Can I ask an honest question though? If you were member of Congress, would you vote for the republicans’ bill as it stands now, knowing it’s going to jack up healthcare prices for low and middle income people (those are the ACA’s main demographic)?
I hate government shutdowns, but I couldn’t vote for that. I have to tell you, it’s very frustrating as a liberal to hear people accuse Dems of abandoning the working/middle class, and then when we try and stick up for them, people shit on that too. We’re damned if we do, damned if we don’t.

Yea I get it you guys are in a hard place with it all. I think most of the blame is being place on dems from what I seen , noble cause or not. I would vote to keep the gov open because I guess 2 wrong don’t make a right ? Have the dems drafted resolutions for ACA before this to fix the issue ? Or has it been just last minute effort to fix it ? Like I said ok for the betterment of the people and don’t mind spending money on healthcare but not through this way.
