Art of the deal, everyone.
Somtimes I’m convinced Trump has no idea what he’s talking about
He really wants to cut off or raise your health insurance costs. ☹
More BS from Dear Leader, and CBS just trots it out like it’s truth.
Republicans could pass their bill tomorrow. Of course, they’d have to come back from their 6 week vacations, and Johnson would have call the session, and swear in the Rep from AZ. They don’t want any of that. They also don’t want to pass this bill with every Dem voting against it, because they can’t even pretend it was bipartisan when it destroys millions of lives.
“If there is a shutdown … I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He’s the one that has to get people together.”
-Donald Trump, 2011
“When they talk about the government shutdown, they’re going to be talking about the president of the United States, who the president was at that time. They’re not going to be talking about who was the head of the House, the head of the Senate, who’s running things in Washington. So I really think the pressure is on the president.”
-Donald Trump, 2013
I think after Dems win this Tuesday he may change his tune
Why the fuck should the Democrats “give in” to batshit crazy and fucking evil Republican bullshit? That makes no sense. The Democrats should stand firm and oppose the fascist MAGA regime.
I admit to saying this from a position where the shutdown is not affecting me, but I think Democrats should view that statement as a challenge rather than a threat.
Democrats should run non-stop on every foot-in-mouth statement he has ever made on the subject, from blaming shutdowns on the president, to him telling Republicans they can end the shutdown whenever they want (by nuking the filibuster).
It’s a *Republican* shutdown.
I hope Democrats keep holding the line.
I’m strapped in for this to last for 2 more months.
He also Said that he Pardoned a Person who did grave harm to the U.S.A security because “He didn’t know him but heard Biden did it.” This guy is pure $hit..
He blames everyone but himself.
The gal hasn’t been voted in. Shutdown coming to a month, this guy is the biggest piece of sh*t ever. The people that voted for this don’t deserve kindness. They WANT you to suffer.
“It could lead to people starving, but it’s a sacrifice I’m prepared to make.”
Democrats better not give in…
It will be so tasty when he eats his words!
Watching the CBS interview, it was like they were scared of making him angry by pushing back on anything he said.
Republicans don’t want to end the shutdown.
Every damn day I look more forward to a worldwide party when this sack of shit kicks the bucket.
Another paycheck missed will have a lot of Feds (again) looking for new jobs… Dude is destroying public service and research programs. Super sad. First time my life has been catastrophically impacted by national politics. As a well-educated white guy from a very Republican state in the Midwest, farmers are disappointed and I wish the exec could do better.
Republicans:
“Choose: their healthcare, their food, or both.”
It’s like a gore movie forcing a father to pick who dies between his wife and child.
>”The Republicans are voting almost unanimously to end it, and the Democrats keep voting against ending it,” Mr. Trump said. “You know, they’ve never had this. This has happened like 18 times before. The Democrats always voted for an extension, always saying, ‘Give us an extension, we’ll work it out.'”
>Without federal subsidies, the cost of insurance under the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, could double. Mr. Trump called Obamacare “terrible” and said “it’s bad health care at far too high a price.”
>”We should fix that. Fix it. And we can fix it with the Democrats,” he said “All they have to do is let the country open and we’ll fix it.”
>Mr. Trump has talked about fixing the health care system for years, including during his first term in office.
>”We almost did it. We were one vote short,” he said.
>That was in 2017, when Senate Republicans failed by one vote to partially repeal Obamacare. There has never been an agreed-upon plan to replace it, and Mr. Trump did not offer a plan in his interview with 60 Minutes.
The Republicans in Congress have abandoned their post and their constituents. They don’t care if you get a paycheck. They’re being paid. They don’t care if you and your children starve. All that matters is that the white house continues to be demolished, the Epstein files remain hidden, and your health insurance premiums double.
The Republicans in the US government have the presidency, the Supreme Court, the House, and the Senate. And they want you to believe democrats are at fault for the NON-FUNCTIONING government.
Two trillion in debt has been added to the American people. The Department of Education has been disbanded, all social security numbers were leaked, social problems have been closed, funding for science has been revoked and a secret police is brutalizing American cities and suburbs alike.
I’m watching bits of his interview with 60 Minutes but have to keep turning it off, because he’s so wildly delusional that he’s clearly not operating in the same reality as the other 8 billion of us.
Fuck this asshole. He is not a President, just an asshole with enablers.
He’s really the only president in my lifetime who doesn’t even pretend to govern for the whole country.
The Democrats need to add restoring the SNAP and foodbank cuts from earlier this year to their list of demands. The GOP opened that door, now the Dems need to capitalize on it and push to restore those funds!
For someone who claims to being so adept at negotiating, he sure sucks at it.
Democrats stay strong.
These issues are not abstract they affect all of us.
Don’t let the story be in 6 months you caved and allowed it happen.
Leaders lead. Quitters whine
This only benefits Trump.
SCOTUS is nearly eating out of his hand. The Legislative GOP has already ceded power to him. Shutting down the government only furthers his desire to be the king he wants to be.
Democrats need to sweep 2026 and their voters need to escort them into office in person.
When one party is in the majority, they have to make concessions to the minority party if they need their vote to pass something. It’s not the responsibility of the minority party to rubber stamp everything the majority party wants.
Everybody say it with me:
FUCK TRUMP!!!
