Social Will the government shutdown tomorrow?

You know I'm a Republican, right? <thisgonbegood>

They don't realize that virtually all of us want it released, but we don't let it be the center of our universe. They sound pathetic bringing it up in every thread when they had 8 years of Obama and 4 years of the Democrats controlling Biden to do it... and they sat silent.

I'd be great with that being part of the Budget.

Great. Let's share names of all the dems who voted no and all the Republicans who voted no on releasing the files.

Dont deflect or move goalposts please. All I'm asking for is the names of all the dems who voted NO on the record.

And I'll name the Republicans who voted no.
 
It's so frustrating. The (R)s know how to control the narrative, no matter the truth. I can't help but think most on that side in the WR know as much but feel as though they are doing their part. Not the person you are responding to mind you. He's a lost cause.
Its hard to believe that people are knowingly being useful idiots and intentionally spreading lies. But in the age of social media lots of people seem to have become so radicalized and tribal by their feeds that they are only concerned with the perception of their side "winning" above anything else. So I can see that happening.

Shit hasn't gotten bad yet, though. By the time it does, sadly, the damage will be done. We are heading into a recession and people are going to be losing their healthcare on top of that. Fingers crossed for the midterms.

Alright @oldshadow I always saw you as a more of an old school sensible right wing guy. So since you gave me the laugh emoji, lets hear your take on what Vance said in that video...

Do you think Vance was telling the truth when he said 1) a Biden era program is responsible for providing federal money for Emergency treatment to illegals (despite the the fact that the Emergency Medical Treatment Act has been around since 1986) . 2) Trump's Big Beautiful bill ended that (last I checked there was nothing in there to end that act)?

If he was lying, why do you think foxnewsfan posted it?

Just a reminder this could all be part of the plan. Close government and fire more workers. What a stupid country we live in. Vought said this prior to his confirmation hearing and still got in.

He's an actual villain

They are were getting benefits that were cut as the states could not afford it once the fed funds were reduced.

The democrats want to add 1.5 trillion permanently to the budget on a bill to temporarily extend financing the government.

The democrats can pass a clean bill or nothing.

Then they can try to get other things if they want and we can take it on a case by case basis.

If that's the case, then Democrats are in cahoots with the Republicans, since they're the ones who shut down the government.

The thing is that they've already gotten is of hundreds of thousands of federal workers through RiFs and forcing retirements combine with the federal hiring freeze.

So this whole "the shutdown is going to force us to fire people" line they keeping trotting out, is complete bullshit.

There is nothing forcing Vought or Trump to fire anyone. They're using it as a threat to get the Democrats to cave.

I want them to not cave this time. My point is people like Vought should have never been allowed near the government to begin with.

Well, I got some bad news for ya...

That said, what good do you think it will do them? The longer it goes on, the worse it will be for them. This is appeasing crazy radicals on Reddit, and nobody else. Trump's having a ball with it.

I can't wait until we take Canada and force some free labor out of you folks until we feel you've done enough to earn citizenship. What are a bunch of pussy ass Canadians gonna do lmao? Don't worry though, we'll let you throat Trump's cock even more once you prove your worth. You'd be happy just to get the opportunity wouldn't you?
Sincerely,
A true right wing American.

I disagree. I don’t think anyone outside of MAGA will fall for this. The GOP controls all branches and have been ignoring court orders, deporting innocent people, and deploying military in streets. Now they’re playing the victim? The weak democrats are suddenly in control?
