Social Will the government shutdown tomorrow?

[ShadowRun]

Tariff revenue: Regressive tax paid for by the lower class.

Schumer shutdown: Democrats fighting for health care while Republicans gut it.

Where do you honestly stand on all this?

Do you believe what Republicans are saying about Democrats doing this for illegal immigrants?

And how do you feel about Mike Johnson refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva?

They want to add 1 Trillion to the deficit, this is the wrong time to crowbar this in and the dems look incompetent. Yes they money would be spent on illegals the hospitals get remembursed. But it’s less than 1% so it’s not a strong talking point, the mistake the dems are doing is saying it doesn’t happen . If dems want to create a plan for the heath care, cool draft it up and vote . It doesn’t pass run on that sbd get more bodies that is the democracy way. I’m not tracking the non swearing in give me that rundown

Sounds like you don't understand any of the things going on. Where do you get your information?



Why is the US House speaker refusing to seat an elected Democrat?

And so it seems that Johnson is ignoring the constitution and subverting the will of the voters in order to buy time, in an effort to spare his party embarrassment over their president’s one-time close confidence with a phile.

But the refusal to seat Grijalva has broader implications. In using his procedural control over the functioning of Congress to deny a seat to an elected Democrat, Johnson is setting a dangerous precedent and raising questions about future transfers of power. If a Democratic majority is elected in 2026, will the outgoing Republican speaker duly swear in its members? Or will he use his procedural powers to delay one, several or many of them from taking their oaths of office – either under the pretext of election fraud or personal ineligibility, or out of sheer, bald unwillingness to hand over power to members of a party that the president and his allies have repeatedly described as illegitimate?

These are no longer fanciful questions; they are ones that must be asked. The Republicans who refused to subvert the law for Trump’s benefit on January 6 are now largely gone; the ones who have replaced them appear much more willing to place party before country. Every day that Grijalva is not sworn in, the shadow they cast over 2026 darkens.

Shocker once again you fall for semantics, just like when Trump says "blood bath" this means he calls for violence.


hospitals can't refuse illegals..

Seriously do you know how to use the internet ?

Less than 1% of Total Medicaid Spending Goes to Emergency Care for Noncitizen Immigrants​

Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for federally-funded Medicaid coverage. Emergency Medicaid spending reimburses hospitals for emergency care they are obligated to provide to individuals who meet other Medicaid eligibility requirements (such as income) but who do not have an eligible immigration status. These include lawfully present immigrants who are subject to a five-year waiting period for Medicaid and undocumented immigrants. Emergency services include those requiring immediate attention to prevent death, serious harm or disability, although states have some discretion to determine reimbursable services. Much of Emergency Medicaid spending goes toward labor and delivery costs. Without Emergency Medicaid, the costs of care would be shifted to hospitals that are required to treat individuals in emergency situations or fully to states.

How exactly does this prove your point? I know hospitals can't refuse stabilization of anyone currently.

How am I falling for semantics when the factcheck disproves what Republicans are claiming?

Do you know what Democrats are actually asking for or do you only know what Trump and his administration are claiming?

I'm just asking you how it applies to what I said, and you can't seem to do it.

That’s not a AI answer retard , again proved my point . You don’t know how to use the Internet . Try to dispute my facts … what a old dumb fuck

And yet you can't say how it addresses the things I said.

Let me make this easy.

Why do you think the Democrats are taking a stand here?

What are the Republicans saying is the reason?

What do you believe?

You should have no problem feeding the first two into AI.

I'm interested in what you come up with for the third, once you learn the first two.

I was poor once. I know what sacrifice is about to ensure the proper aspects of life are taken care of first.

I don't believe most do these days. Personal responsibility is at an all time low and that needs to change in conjunction with higher taxation on the opposite end.

This isn't even anything close to the one way street you like to virtue signal it is.

This is where we should be.

I remember during COVID about half the Army went to a "work from home" status. Some went to "reduced contact" levels. And some were "Mission Critical". A lot of those guys split their departments in half, took over the workspaces of everyone at home as a risk reduction measure so if one cell went down the other wouldn't be affected. Those "mission critical" cells were the real workhorses and carried their units - as reflected in their evaluations.

I remember those people who look back on the COVID days as good times because they didn't have access to their SIPR (secret network) from home which allowed much, much less work for them. It was unspoken but everyone knew who didn't carry their weight. In fact, some departments were still in a "work from home" status a year after COVID or were splitting their weeks at work. It was always an awkward pause in the conversation when they would say, "We are still work from home and don't have access to SIPR". It was at that point I knew I had to go up the food chain to someone who was actually working.

"I was poor once. I know what sacrifice is about to ensure the proper aspects of life are taken care of first."

Virtue signaling-

"the public expression of opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one's good character or social conscience or the moral correctness of one's position on a particular issue."
