Even HUD is hyper-partisan now

[Mac1958]

It takes a lot to shock me at this point, but this one came pretty close. HUD is the Department of Housing & Urban Development. HUD's current home page:

I know that MAGA will defend this because it speaks their language, but there was a time when federal departments stayed completely out of partisan politics. For obvious reasons. Now, it's just another partisan organization.

Our Founders warned against this kind of division, but We the People evidently just don't care about that any more.

I honestly think that's one of the government's responsibilities, to let the people know who or what led to the shutdown. The Democrats are to blame here, and it doesn't really matter if it's "hyper-partisan" or not.

Nobody loves expanding big fed gubmint power more than the GOP over the last 50 years. MAGA most of all.

How did an idiotic organization come to exist in the first place? The Dept. of Education should be shut down first, followed by useless HUD.

Yes, because neo-cons hijacked the party.

MAGA's putting neo-cons to shame over how massively they're growing the national deficit and the power of big federal gubmint

Wasn't it Obama who said elections have consequences? You mean to tell me the democraps did not have anyone better than Trump? Well, then it seems we are better off with Trump. Until the democraps can produce a better option than Trump the people will continue to choose MAGA. It seems logic like that evades neo-leftists. And I must say, the democrap bench looks really bad for the midterms and 2028. AOC? Crockett? Newsom? Maybe you neo-leftists might want to emigrate to a country with socialist neo-leftists in charge, like Cuba or Venezuela.

 

[Mac1958]

There is no excuse for a department of the United States government to refer to Americans as "radical" Left or Right. None. Zero. Ever. There is no excuse for a department to engage in rhetoric like that.

If a person really can't see that, then they are lost in a myopic ideology. That is weakness, not a strength. That's a lie, not the truth. There is no deflection or trying to change the subject. Any decent adult should be able to admit that.

More liberal whining and total BS. Every government agency became hyperpartisan the moment liberals introduced unAmerican ideas like DEI and racist concepts like critical race theory.

Considering what the government did during Trump's first term, and then during Biden's term, you neo-leftists really can't take the high road. You wanted a war with Trump and you got it. Now beat him or STFU. What you neo-leftists really just fail to understand is that no one cares about your whining. Trump doesn't, most of America doesn't, and I don't. No one even likes the left anymore. A lot of the left doesn't even like what the left has become. So why should we listen to you whine all day long?

As predicted.

 

[Dorian Mode]

As predicted.

So what exactly do you want from the members of this forum? For them all to stop believing what their eyes tell them and believe you? And then what? Do you want MAGA to revolt against Trump because you think they should? Do you want them to tell you that you are right and go register as a democrap? I can't imagine what you are hoping to accomplish here. Moral superiority? Good luck with that, you offer nothing to demonstrate it. Trolling? Hmmm.....

Bullshit. The Democrats are holding the federal government hostage because there is not enough spending on Obamacare for their liking.

Those two are a good start, but many federal departments need to be shut down and transferred to the states. The best way to keep the neo-leftists from taking over the country is to reduce the excessive reach of the federal government and decentralize its authority as much as possible down to the states.

Bullshit, this is propaganda 101.

The Progressives in near every agreement in D.C. even if not in power come through with huge perks for their side over the decades. This is why they are so arrogant. They are used to getting paid off. Republicans are used to giving it up. Republicans of course when in the minority are not so fortunate.

Yes, the other side uses neutral language like "FASCIST!" and "NAZI!"

Marking my comment as "Fake News" doesn't change the reality of the matter.

Democrats didn’t “cause” the shutdown — they refused to cave on cuts that had the potential to increase Affordable Care Act premiums by 75% and gutted Medicaid. That’s not partisan games, that’s protecting millions of families from losing affordable healthcare. Easy to shrug off if you’re not the one paying the price or losing access to healthcare.

Many of us don't think of it but when you lose your job, you also lose your healthcare unless you're covered under a spouse, but not everyone has a safety net.

This is the previous banner before the shutdown actually occurred and is still there:

Neo-leftists screamed about the BBB which had a lot of pork in it for republicans, and now the neo-leftists are screaming because the republicans won't give them all the pork they want. Republicans treat the left just like the left always treat the republicans and the left cries foul. My guess is the government shutdown will affect the left much more than the right. Shut it down and keep it shut until the left are on their knees begging Trump for forgiveness. I hope it takes a long time. Conservatives are resilient and understand self-reliance, neo-leftists have no clue how to function without government handouts.
