Hakeem Jeffries Threatens to Shut Down Federal Gov't

GOP controls the Budget.

Make them own it, every cent.

Either the can get their caucus on Board or explain to the American people.
 
Seems like right now Americans aren't buying what trump and Musk are selling.
 

"Hakeem Jeffries: GOP Budget a ‘Non-Starter,’ Every Single Democrat Will Oppose It



House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) claimed Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that the Republican budget was a “non-starter” and would receive opposition from every Democratic lawmaker.

Host Jonathan Karl said, “Government funding runs out in less than a month now. We’ve seen over the past two years, Republicans cannot or have not been able to pass government funding without Democratic support. Some of your supporters on the outside are saying you should use as leverage, the possibility of a government shutdown to push back at some of what the Trump administration is doing right now. What will you need from Mike Johnson and from the Republicans to agree to go along with efforts to fund the government?”


He added, “What we have been clear about is that this budget that is working its way through the House of Representatives is a non-starter. Every single Democrat opposed it a few days ago, and I believe that will continue to be our position because it’s out of control.”"



Why does this Democrat want to shutdown the federal gov't? I thought they think a closed federal gov't endangers the people who depend on the govt.
I think this is so funny. Democrats are so against cuts to the federal government that they are willing to shut down the whole government to stop Trump. Bring it on!
 
whys that ? remember .. not every American is as stupid as todays modern democrats ..
The problem with winning the presidency AND congress AND having the SCOTUS pretty much in your back pocket is that you now own it ALL.
Even the dysfunction. You don't have the option anymore of blaming it on someone else because there IS no one else.
You control it all.
If you (Republicans & Donald Trump) are unable to reach deals with the opposition party then that reflects innefficient, incompetent governing and voters will hold you accountable for that.
Especially if your incompetence is messing with their pocketbooks.
If Trump's 2025 agenda winds up wreaking havok in red states and affected voters start burning up the phones calling their elected representatives wanting to know "WHAT THE FUCK?" those politicians are going to have no one to blame but themselves.....or Trump.
"Better to blame Trump," they will ultimately decide.
Then they'll begin, one by one, tossing him under the bus....up to even a third impeachment.....with a REAL conviction this ttme.
I look for the bleeding to start next year when the midterm campaigning really gets going.

That moron must have forgotten he's House Minority Leader.
 
He wouldn't know the first thing about "streamlining" anything. He doesn't have the knowledge. Fire a bunch of people in charge of the nuclear arsenal...ooopss... :)
The low hanging fruit the DOGE cucks have been wading through are designed to get people like you outraged and fired up. But in the grander scheme of making progress
in reducing the deficit and debt....this stuff..is peanuts. But you get yourself all worked up! :auiqs.jpg:
One notices that there is far more outrage from those reflexively opposed to ANY attempts at curtailing government overspending than from anyone else. And yes, it was designed to cause that exact response, because they are now on record as opposing even the smallest of cuts.
 
How many Congressional seats held by Republicans are currently awaiting special election? Four? Five?

I can't keep up. But in a Month, we should have enough seats to thwart dimocrap scum. IF they have the balls to stand up against the Forces of Goodness and Light. Which I doubt.

They'll hide like the cinematic, deviant hunchbacks they resemble and let the DISGUSTING FILTH do the fighting for them.

as usual

Thanks for clearing that up. Good to see you're on board with minimizing Democrats ability to fuck us even more.
 
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

The House can pass a budget based on a majority vote.

With the GOP in the majority they don't need ANY DEM votes to pass a budget.

Well, there are the RINO's

Democrats cannot shut down the government. Only the Majority controlling Republicans can do that. A reminder, the Republicans control the House, Senate, Presidency, and SCOTUS.
 
Well, there are the RINO's

So the problem is within the GOP and that the budget is so bad they can't get even get the sane Republican's to vote for it.

And the problem is with the DEMs?

Trick is to find a couple sane Dems to help carry over the goal line.

That's mutually exclusive.

If they would vote for Trumps budget as dictated to Speaker Johnson, they aren't sane DEMs.

So no sane DEMs would be voting for the budget as any DEMs voting for the budget is by definition not sane.
