    “I would say it depends on who you’re talking about,” Trump said when asked about back pay for furloughed workers. He added, “For the most part, we’re going to take care of our people,” but said, “There are some people that really don’t deserve to be taken care of.” He then said the latter group would be taken care of “in a different way.”

    We’re becoming Russia and I can’t imagine a more depressing conclusion to the American Experiment. Stay away from multi-story buildings if you post memes about JD Vance, I guess.

    Who cares? They will let him do it that way anyway, and we all know they will. Nobody gives a fuck what opinions and platitudes they spew from their filthy pedophile mouths.

    LOL do they disagree though? Or they’ll say they disagree on background to a reporter, but will continue to vote in lockstep with Trump. They don’t get any brownie points for trying to cover their asses in the press while their votes actively destroy the country.

    Once Again, Crypto scammer/casino bankrupt Trump is acting like it’s his money. What gives him the right to pick and choose who is paid what they are owed? Either everyone is paid or nobody should be. this Orange painted dementia patient is again proving how terrible a leader he is. After he’s said this, who does Trump think these employees are gonna blame for not getting backpay? The Democrats? The DELUSION is Powerful.

    One gets the impression that congressional republicans don’t experience even a modicum of embarrassment and humiliation for their complete and utter fear of disagreeing with what amounts to a demented fool. He has taken every instance of their responsibilities from them, and they are left with mouthing his preposterous pronouncements (when they’re cogent enough to be repeated). How can they even face themselves or their families?

    It’s time for the “mostly disagree” GOP crowd to grow a spine, and turn this into moral, meaningful governance that does the citizens some actual good, regardless of their standing. Jackasses!

    Remind me again, did DOGE get our voting records, or Russia? And would he use that to only pay people who voted for him?

    What an absolute motherfucking asshole imagine having to go to work and do your job and not get paid these motherfuckers wouldn’t put up with it for one goddamn minute I’m so sick of these fuckers

    It’s a good thing voter registration isn’t centralized and he can’t find out who everyone’s affiliated with and provide back pay on that metric….

    I’m sure our already overworked and (currently unpaid) air traffic controllers, most of whom work (and live) in blue cities, are taking this news quite well.

    I don’t think ANYONE in charge should get paid during a shutdown! In Canada, if the government can’t agree on an annual budget, the constitution forces them to resign (even the prime minister) and new elections are held immediately. I’m going to start shopping for a parka!

    Another one of these cycles:

    1. Trump says “I can do whatever I want!
    2. It’s all over the news.
    3. Trump does it.
    4. It’s all over the news.
    5. The government is taken to court and loses millions/billions because of Trump’s stupidity.
    6. Crickets on the news.

    Tonight on CNN on Caitlin Collins show, Jim Jordan wasn’t even aware that the law signed in 2019 gives back pay no matter if the employee is furloughed or excepted. He said it’s up to Trump how he wants to go with it. Lol. It’s literally already law. JFC these people are dumb

    The question isn’t whether they disagree but whether they will do something about it.

    Can the Congress not get any pay plz? Then maybe they will start doing their jobs…
