Democrats Divided Over Using Government Shutdown to Fight Trump Agenda

[Hollie]

Anyone can see the democats are in panic mode as their grift and theft is being exposed by Doge. It’s almost predictable that their strategy would be a government shutdown in an attempt to shield their sleaze from the public.

At this point, it’s less about fighting Trump’s agenda than it is to protect their syndicate of agencies that are sources of stolen taxpayer money.

Democrats divided over using government shutdown to fight Trump agenda

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries last week indicated Democrats would consider using the threat of government shutdown to obtain White House concessions.

Dems planning on holding the American people hostage…these folks should all be charged with treason

 

[Mac1958]

A standard partisan procedure used by both parties on presidents with far larger popular vote margins of victory than the demigod.

But then, everyone knows that.

Holding the American people hostage is not standard procedure

 

[Mac1958]

Holding the American people hostage is not standard procedure

And I wish both parties would stop it. But they're not.

You're no better than those you hate.

Both parties don’t do it

Holding the American people hostage is a demafasict thing

Demoquacks are shell shocked since January 20th.

A standard procedure by democrats, everyone knows that. They use it all the time and try to blame Republicans. Probably won't work out for you this time.

Holy crap. You are either a liar or spectacularly ignorant. Standard Trumpster.

You will deny this, because you have to:

House GOP launches shutdown battle by voting to defund Obamacare
Rejecting Trump’s demands, Congress averts government shutdown

Good gawd, you people. Go ahead and lie now.

 

[Mac1958]

They don't even KNOW about this.

Who knows what they're told in their universe.

Your link is to a story about house republicans passing a spending bill…what’s your point?

 

[1srelluc]

They know, despite the media spin, that it would not go well for them.

Dem congress critters have been reduced to so many small yapping dogs.

 

[Thunk]

There's no need to fear...FETTERMAN is here!

The only one with legit brain damage is the voice of reason in the democrat party

Except in the past democrats have always been able to pass the blame to republicans regardless of which side they're on.
A lot of what DOGE has uncovered regarding corruption within government spending isn't new, people like Rand Paul have been pointing it out for years. The difference causing democrats to lose their sh!t is Musk has a huge audience.
So it's unlikely democrats will be able to stick republicans with the blame over a government shutdown. IMO it will be one of the biggest backfires.

 

[Mac-7]

No pay for government workers during the shutdown

Regardless, as I said, both parties play this dumb game.

Partisans within the parties can say the other is worse, but that has zero credibility.

Your problem is you only attack one party. What's hilarious it's been pointed out to you numerous times

Except Dems are the party that claim to love government and abhor shutdowns.

As for the MAGA base?

Well....don't threaten us with a good time.

^^ Right after I attacked both parties.

You cannot communicate with these people.
