    Democrats should be doing an all-out blitz to explain what is going on and control the narrative, but they won’t

    instead we’ll have stupid MFers believing that the Democrats aren’t cooperating because they’re fighting for healthcare for illegals

    Wow , the dems have really fooled you . They've got you right where they want you

    Dont you know Soros controls everything ?

    This is not Trumps fault ! He's surrounded by incompetence !

    If only some of those RINO's were stronger ( like Trump) , this wouldn't even be an issue

    The truth is that MAGA is WINNING . This country is doing amazing. We are safer than ever and prices are lower than ever.

    Some might say this is the start of a new golden age... and the Dems can't stand it , so they are trying to shut everything down.

    What a bunch of soar losers.

    the truth;

    his many TACO moves on the tariffs front; 6 months after Trump's liberation day, he is still too afraid to confront China.
    Trump just provided Argentina a $ 20 Billion line of credit to prop up the Peso;
    Argentina then stabs US in the back to screw US soy farmers some more.​

    Dems are gonna fold, pat themselves on the back for the symbolic hold and hope the american folks remember how sht the bbb and economy was under republican control and vote accordingly.

    Uneducated folks have shown again and again that they will vote to fk themselves over to screw the liberals, but these old democrats guards are thinking this time it would b different.

    We could encounter the next depression and folks would still vote Republicans, it just mindnumbingly stupid that old guard democrats naively think otherwise

    These 6 Charts Explain Why Democrats Shut Down the Government

    https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/opinion/government-shutdown-republican-obamacare.html

    excerpt:

    All the political skirmishing around the looming government shutdown has obscured the critical reason for it in the first place: Republicans have essentially stopped saying they want to repeal Obamacare, but quietly, they are doing exactly that.

    Over the past nine months, Republicans have gone a long way toward dismantling key Obamacare provisions under the misleading guise of reforming or improving our health care system. As a result, more than 20 million Americans face higher insurance premiums next year. And almost 14 million Americans could lose their health insurance altogether over the next decade — an estimated 3.3 million in 2026 alone.

    That’s more than 70 percent of those who gained coverage since Obamacare went into effect.

    You may be forgiven for missing this headline. There wasn’t one. In 2016, Donald Trump ran on a promise to abolish the program and kept up his crusade throughout his first term, only to have the effort deep-sixed by Senator John McCain. This time around, Mr. Trump has rarely — if ever — mentioned the Affordable Care Act by name. Nor have his fellow Republicans.

    But they never stopped trying. And this year they have made substantial progress. The outcome of the looming shutdown will determine whether Democrats can gain back at least a modicum of ground.

    60 votes are needed in the Senate to prevent a shutdown. Republicans only have 53 (a few were likely stolen by fraud).

    Dems are blocking this and own the shutdown. Now it's time for the reduction in force. DC's real estate market is going to get UGLY.

    Democrats are minority parties in both Senate and House.

    Voters do not want to see their neighbors being ripped off the streets because they’re the wrong color or speak the wrong language at home.

    Voters want affordable health care.

    Voters do not want random tariffs placed on the whim of a demented relic of the past making their costs of living sky rocket.

    Voters want affordable housing and utilities.

    Voters do not want government officials creating new ways to accept bribes.

    Voters want clean air and water.

    Voters do not want mass expansion of data centers driving up their utility bills.

    Americans deserve better than what the Republicans can provide.

    Republicans do not want to spent $1.5 trillion covering illegal immigrants' health care bills. What liberals cannot grasp is that this will provide an enormous incentive for millions of illegals to attempt to enter the USA (again). Incentives are everything. Liberals also don't realize how running budget deficits creates inflation -- just like Biden wiped out the middle/working class spending power with his devastating inflation.

    Republicans are restoring order to government size and spending levels. Shut down government until Democrats learn the lesson. Oh, and move government jobs out of DC (one of the lower productivity labor pools in the country).

    Yet the majority voted for the worst option possible. Give me Bush, Cruz, Haley, DeSantis hell anyone besides this orange scumbag and we would have been alright. They voted for him so **** them, we’ll all suffer now, some less than others though. Glad I’m in the latter…

    Democrats own the shutdown because Democrats VOTED DOWN the clean funding bill that would have kept government open. Democrats tried to pressure Republicans into giving free healthcare to illegals and are holding the government hostage until they get their wish. Never has a party been more directly responsible for a government shutdown that the Democrats are here.

    WATCH: Democrats reject GOP funding bill, setting up government shutdown
    WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats have voted down a Republican bill to keep funding the government, putting it on a near certain path to a shutdown after midnight Wednesday for the first time in almost seven years.

    The Senate rejected the legislation as Democrats are making good on their threat to close the government if President Donald Trump and Republicans won’t accede to their health care demands. The 55-45 vote on the bill to extend federal funding for seven weeks fell short of the 60 needed to end a filibuster and pass the legislation.

    Excuse me but have you ever dined at a Chinese restaurant and ordered a Doggy Duck Pot?

    I can tell you with 100% certainty that immigrants are eating pets.

    Not all the pets, just the cats and the dogs.
    I believe parrots and iguanas are safe.
