  1. It’s going to be impossible when the president sees working together as a sign of weakness.

  2. “Stupid Dems who control 0 chambers of congress and the presidency are really going to shutdown the government to *checks notes* keep Americans on Health Insurance as well as not spike their premiums. They must really hate america”

  3. Fascist govt is funded, fascists dismantle govt and American institutions. 

    Fascist govt shuts down, fascists dismantle govt and American institutions 

    Might as well shut it down. 

  4. I didn’t expect one.

    Trump and his cadre of economic hitmen feel like they can win a shutdown. They can not. Eventually, air traffic control will have enough of doing their jobs without pay and airports will shut down causing massive ripples in an already precarious situation and Republicans in the Senate will come to the table. As usual, Republicans will need to inflict a lot of pain on a lot of people before the reality of the situation will set in.

  5. Okay say it with me now. MAGA CONTROLS THE HOUSE, THE SENATE, AND THE WHITE HOUSE. THIS IS THEIR FAULT!

  6. Mercifully, since the only thing worse than a shutdown would be what the GOP wants to make the government into.

  7. Trump wants the shutdown to happen, and the democrats need to make that clear to voters. They need to have daily pressers over trumps response to their negotiating attempts.

  8. I mean trump doesn’t want to deal, he wants to take away healthcare from vulnerable people. It’s the republicans shutdown. And everyone should call senators and reps, even the shit maga ones, and hammer them on why they are shutting things down.

  9. Meanwhile on the pedophile sub they’re all going “this doesn’t matter no one cares PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT IT”

    Good. Protect Medicare protect healthcare funding. 

    And communicate to America why you are doing so

  11. Apparently JD said ““You don’t use your policy disagreements as leverage to not pay our troops”

    The longest shutdown was 35 days, because Trump insisted on $5.7 billion in funding for his wall.

  12. Trump’s 2013 remarks during appearances on Fox & Friends, Trump criticized President Barack Obama’s leadership, saying:

    “A shutdown falls on the President’s lack of leadership. He can’t even control his party and get people together in a room. A shutdown means the President is weak”.

    He also stated that a shutdown would be “a tremendously negative mark on the President of the United States. He’s the one that has to get people together”.

    Trump also said, “The problems start from the top and have to get solved from the top. The president is the leader, and he’s got to get everybody in a room and he’s got to lead”.

  13. Why the hell is this framed as a bad thing for the Democrats? When is it ever the Republicans fault? It would literally be framed as a bad thing if there was a Dem president in the WH right now. “The President can’t get a deal done”. Im tired of the double standards.

  14. GOOD! Trump Always Chickens Out. Harm reduction is not really a viable strategy under this administration. Straight up obstructionism is the only thing that will do any good.

    I will never understand why the US has this shutdown panic every year instead of having the current budget continue until a new one is agreed, or at the very least the amount needed to keep the government open.

    It seems to (a simple armchair politician) like such an easily avoidable problem.

    Why would anyone think Trump would ‘make a deal’? It’s all performance for him. Everything is. He has no understanding of policy nor does he have the requisite intelligence to see America that way. His grand fantasy is to rule America alone, by military force if need be. If the midterms in November 2026 are preempted by him then either America is folded into full on dictatorship or there will be civil revolution.

    Did the top republicans also leave the White House with no deal? Why is the press already blaming the democrats for this?

  18. The headline should read “Republicans and MAGA morons continue to destroy our Nation”. It’s not on the Democratic Party to fix this right wing fiasco

  19. Chuck: keep your spine straight and don’t fold this time. Your fantasy left-wing republicans don’t exist and your actual constituents need you now.

  20. Dems should be on a media blitz to make sure the public knows that this is all Trump and the GOPs fault
