The Republicans are the one's who really caved.

[dblack]

Our whole government is completely controlled by social programs, subsidies government employees and contracts. We will someday learn that what government gives it can take away.

You'd think, if nothing else, THIS would be a "teachable moment" for Democrats.

 

[MarcATL]

Why do you ask?

I don't see the point. The shutdowns are never permanent and just end up costing more than if the government had just stayed open.

So then you're basically a pro-government American, yes?

 

[Rogue AI]

Schumer didn't shut down the government. Mike Johnson did.

Johnson and the House passed a bill. You loons are ignorant.

 

[berg80]

Schumer caved to the radical Marxists in his own party.

Do you just use that term "radical Marxists" habitually or is it actually your belief that elected members in Congress who seek to make health insurance more affordable for those who struggle to afford it are Marxists?

 

[berg80]

Johnson and the House passed a bill. You loons are ignorant.

You know the House was in recess for a record period of time under Johnson's leadership, right?

 

[Rogue AI]

You know the House was in recess for a record period of time under Johnson's leadership, right?

So? They were waiting for the Senate. Schumer and Democrats stop do their job. This is all on you loons.

 

[berg80]

They were waiting for the Senate.

No other business to attend to?

Dodging the Epstein discharge petition.

They need to make sure there are resources form their programs. The argument is not the programs it is the fit and who pays the costs for the sizes of them. And we payout much more than we take in. So, we argue who pays and how it is dealt with.

 

[berg80]

This is all on you loons.

Right. It's just a coincidence that the longest shutdown in history and the longest House recess took place while the orange piece of shit is prez.

 

[berg80]

Dodging the Epstein discharge petition.

Once the House votes it will once again force Senate R's to go on the record supporting the victims or covering for the Groper-in-Chief.

 

[Rogue AI]

Right. It's just a coincidence that the longest shutdown in history and the longest House recess took place while the orange piece of shit is prez.

The President and the House were waiting on lazy Democrats to do their job. Way to point out the historic laziness of liberal trash.

 

[whitehall]

Jon Stewart (born Jonathan Stuart Liebowitz) is a Jewish NY comedian who doesn't even have the balls to admit he is Jewish. His opinion about politics don't mean shit.

 

[MagicMike]

Johnson and the House passed a bill. You loons are ignorant.

They passed a bill with no bipartisan support.

 

[Rogue AI]

They passed a bill with no bipartisan support.

And?

 

[MagicMike]

And?

And Johnson shut down the government.

 

[Rawley]

Keep in mind, this CR is almost the same exact CR that they passed during Biden's term. Stewart is partially wrong here. He thinks the democrats caved. They caved on one issue. The extended ACA subsidies. But this is just the battle.




Every time the GOP passes this CR, they're caving to some BS the democrats put it when Biden was in office, instead of 12 separate, single issue spending bills.
The able bodied welfare sponges are still going to get their $2,000+ per month SNAP benefits. The Dept. of Education is still getting funded. Along with all the other government agencies.

This is a victory for the big government RINO's and democrats. The ACA subsidies are still getting funded. The only thing cut were the extended ACA subsidies that came with Covid.

Grok: Are normal ACA subsidies still getting funded with the new continued resolution?

Yes, normal ACA subsidies (the standard premium tax credits established under the Affordable Care Act) remain fully funded under the new continuing resolution (CR) passed by the Senate on November 10, 2025, and expected to clear the House shortly thereafter.


Also, within a couple of weeks, the GOP will more than likely pass another spending bill that'll include the extended covid ACA subsidies. That's the deal Thune and the RINO's made with Schumer. This is only a short term victory of a small battle. The democrat will win this war, because the RINO's are weak.

OK, You missed getting to the part where the GOP caved in this shutdown.

 

[Papageorgio]

Let’s see from day one Republicans voted to keep the government open. The Democrats voted to keep the government closed unless Republicans conceded to all their demands, in the end, the Democrats got nothing, and eight of them saw how destructive Schumer and their fellow Democrats were to America.

 

[Rogue AI]

And Johnson shut down the government.

No he didn't, stop lying.

 

[Eman623]

So then you're basically a pro-government American, yes?

Go troll someone else.
