New record!! 🎉🎉🎉
Longest in history, so far!
Dump Trump breaking records.
Trump’s beats his failure record! 🍻🥂🎈🎉🎊🏅👍✨
Now he could get his cronies to end this shit but I feel like he’ll give it a few more days for safety. At his age, he may not have many more shut downs in his future so he needs to make it count cause he hates Americans
Dens, don’t choke this away.
As the Republicans don’t even bother to show up, we see you..
Not gonna lie, ignoring all the bad stuff going on… >!I kinda want to see what happens if all the air traffic in the USA stops and no one still budges!<
I hope every Republican is calling on Johnson to end this shit today. They are cooked.
The Republicans don’t care. They don’t want the ACA (thank the special interest and lobbyist), and the shutdown will ultimately give them that.
They’re going to make it look as good as they can, but they have no reason to budge.
The Dems folding this week after there victories today would be beyond stupid. I feel any deal will be immediately dropped by the GOP when the government reopens.
the Guardians of Pedophiles just got swept in the elections, this shutdown is hurting them badly. The Democrats have literally no reason to fold whatsoever.
