Day 1!!
FirstĀ
I’m tired.
Second
And nothing has changed lol
And here we go
Add it to the list of Trump’s ‘Accomplishments’
Schumer caving in 3, 2, 1….
DAY 1! GIVE IT UP FOR DAY 1!
We taking bets on what kind of authoritarian power grab trump will try now?
Ok
Remember when the government pretended to function properly. Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Mine is the last post you will ever read. Do not be alarmed.
Clown number one on CNN – Mike Lawler (R) New York
Trump was president during the government shut down and the last one as well lmao.
how do you control senate, house, presidency and supreme court and still get a shutdown. lmao
Remember the one during his first presidency that lasted 35 days? Let’s see how long this one will last.
Goodnight USA
Welp, here we go again
Begun, the close wars has.
And so it begins…
thanks republicans! Useless bums
Whatās the over/under on the Truth Social post saying āradical leftā?
Republicans – Hey, weāre going to give ass cancer to everyone
Democrats – Yeah weāre not voting for ass cancer
Republicans – Democrats are evil for not voting in favor of our bill
Trump and govt shutdowns, name a better duo
55th!
Trumps third shutdown. Biden never had one.
We’re basically Bartertown now with Trump being Tina Turner’s character.
They fought the shutdown
And the shutdown won
For the second time since 2018-2019, the government has shut down with Trump and the Republican being in control of all 3 branches of government.
Last time, it took air traffic controllers calling out and air travel shutting down to bring Trump to his knees, so let’s see how long this one will last for.
Imagine living in a day and age where you control all 3 branches and still weaponize the shutdown
šµ weāre in a hostile government takeover šµ
Happy shutdown everyone!
Last Trump/Republican shutdown cost us $5 Billion over 35 days, and a drop in our credit rating. That’s 25 White House ballrooms, or half a border wall.
Here’s where the fun begins.
I kinda like not having a government
lol š Epstein list. Trumps America. Every branch of government is run by republicans currently. They are choosing to shut it down and steal tax dollars.
Would just like to point out that the last time Australia had a political deadlock that could’ve resulted in services not getting funding, and public servants not being paid, the PM got sacked by the Governor-General for planning to hold an election without having the supply bills passed by Parliament to ensure public servants were paid.
This is a tradition by now
