AP: Trump says he won’t negotiate to end the shutdown

[Conservative from Georgia]

Just where did I pretend it "was a one year"?
If you can't produce that, you're just a two bit liar.
Which you are.

And I think I busted you again. Let me ask you a question regarding that money you say we would spend on healthcare if Democrats have their way… Would it be an increase over last fiscal year spending?

Or are you being sneaky and comparing that spending to spending that hasn’t even happened yet? (The spending levels in 2026 if Republicans have their way instead.)

Looks like it’s a clean Democratic bill if you’re not being sneaky.

 

[Marener]

This "problem" is 100% Democrat leadership's making and it's their responsibility to solve it.

Republicans don’t know how to solve problems.

 

[el midgetron]

Democrats have been doing this same shtick for 8 years.

 

[Rawley]

Republicans don’t know how to solve problems.

THe problem is that your cult's filibuster of a clean CR is unprecedented in the history of the country.

 

[Rawley]

Republicans don’t know how to solve problems.

Democrats only create problems,

 

[talksalot]

That’s fine, but don’t be saying that Democrats should accept any CR made by Republicans because You agree negotiations suck.

It's the same CR they signed off on several times before. It's Biden era spending.

Well, well well. And all this time, my fellow conservatives told me the inflexible ones were the democrats:

First of all:

1. You have no fellow conservatives. You are a deluded bunghole progressive who likes to jerk off.
2. If Trump's flexibility were the problem instead of the democrats, then the democrats could end the shutdown tomorrow by simply voting and being flexible. After all, they'd only be voting for a CR not any new budget deal. It isn't Trump who has refused to vote 13 times.

Trump's inflexibility is not in question; Trump doesn't even play any role in the Congress passing a budget.

All this proves is how bad things are really going for democrats under Trump and they have simply staked an all or nothing position now trying to save their necks, figuring that if they somehow win, they win, but either way, whether they lose due to Trump's actions or due to a new budget getting passed, they are going down hard, so, why not try?

You keep it up and Trump is going to get the Congress to do away with the filibuster, block all payments to the recalcitrant democrats, then he and the republicans are going to push through a series of national reforms that will leave democrat's heads spinning that'll take you 100 years to recover from.

 

[toobfreak]

Democrats only create problems,

Democrats ARE a problem. Their entire MO is to create sedition in the midst of confusion and turmoil they created.

Well, well well. And all this time, my fellow conservatives told me the inflexible ones were the democrats:

AP:
President Donald Trump said in an interview aired on Sunday that he “won't be extorted” by Democrats who are demanding negotiations to extend the expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies. Echoing congressional Republicans, the president said on CBS' “60 Minutes” he'll negotiate only when the government is reopened.

Government shutdown could become longest ever as Trump says he 'won't be extorted' by Democrats

The government shutdown is poised to become the longest ever this week as the impasse between Democrats and Republicans has dragged into a new month.

Sounds pretty flexible to me.

Government opened and SNAP back on stream.

What do the democrats need.

Oh, yeah...they keep saying.....leverage.

So all those federal workers might have a pretty crappy Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Gonna love that come midterms.

 

[HikerGuy83]

The national air system is shutting down over this. Its a CR. If losing ACA subsidies is bad the MAGAs will be punished for it. Let it happen and quit screwing the US for it.

All the democrats think they'll skate?

Don't be stupid.

 

[drudge X]

HAHA.. look at this piece of shit. Even leftist CNN is calling out Jeffries for his bullshit.

Dem leader becomes flustered when challenged on shutdown narrative

CNN's Dana Bash challenged House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries over government shutdown blame, pushing back on his claims that Republicans are responsible.

www.foxnews.com

"Mr. Leader, you guys are voting no on opening the government," Bash responded. "Not Republicans. I know you’re asking for specific things, and it’s much more complicated than that."

Pretty much sums up why Trump has just broken his own record for the longest shutdown ever.

Before Trump got into office, there had been 53 days of shutdown EVER.

Now Trump is at 75 days of shut down.

He's the WORST shutdown president ever, so bad, he's worse than the other 45 PUT TOGETHER.

How did Trump shut down the government when Democrats voted no for 13 times?

 

[frigidweirdo]

How did Trump shut down the government when Democrats voted no for 13 times?

Because Trump KNOWS he needs those votes.

Imagine you're in Germany and you have 34% of the votes and you want to pass a bill. How do you do that? By treating all the other parties like dickheads?

No, you negotiate. The "Fart of the Deal", literally, the guy who says he can negotiate with anyone and everyone is reverting back to how he did things as a prick in charge of his businesses. He bullied.

That's what Trump is doing now. That's why OTHER PRESIDENTS (like, all other 45) didn't have such big shutdowns, because they NEGOTATIATED rather than bullied.

Trump wants HIS PLATFORM to get through, he needs to NEGOTIATE instead of saying "I'll bully you and get the right wing media to tell all everyone it's the Democrats' fault for not voting for something I DEMAND they vote for"

It's called POLITICS.

When does he get a medal, man of the year, and all those other accolades for doing a good thing?

If it never reopens...I won't cry.

Did Trump tell Democrats that negotiations will happen after opening the government? Yes he did. What I am seeing here is Democrats believe a victory against Trump is far more important than serving the Americans they were put there to serve.

What's more important to you? The needs of fellow citizens or a victory lap against Trump?

You're right. It's called politics.

Oh my word. Trump's "Fart of the Deal" is "give me what I want, and then when you're in no position to negotiate, I'll then negotiate with you and get everything I want because.... hahaha"

Do you think Democrats are that ******* STUPID?

What you see is the typical "Republicans good, Democrats bad, ugh, ugh".

You haven't made an argument. You've taken an argument made by some lacky who was told to give Trump supporters a small reason to keep believing and you're keeping believing. Well done.

Do they need to "follow citizens"? Which citizens would that be then?

More than 50% of the citizens who bothered to vote, voted AGAINST Trump.

And of the 350 million or so citizens, only 77 million voted for Trump. 22%. So, 78% didn't vote for Trump.

I can't believe the con man conned the (R) Congress.
The CULT owns this, you are correct.

Why is trump willing to risk starving SNAP recipients? Why? Just cruel.
All to feed his base and his own EGO. Terrible Human....djt.

Why is trump willing to force MILLIONS off insurance?
All to feed his base and his own EGO. Terrible Human....djt.

Because Trump doesn't care less about these people.

Trump's hierarchy isn't race, it's money. The only people better than Trump are those with more money, everyone else can go fork themselves in the eye.

Trump wants a legacy of Rich and Powerful Man.

Reality will be a legacy of Con Man and many other choice descriptions.
Worst US POTUS in History.
