Democrats continue shutdown by not paying military and fed

Democrats blocked a Republican-led attempt to provide essential government workers with paychecks amid an ongoing, 23-day shutdown, calling the bill overly selective and incomplete. That bill, proposed by Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Todd Young, R-Ind., failed in a 54-45 vote, where 60 votes were needed to advance the bill over the threat of a filibuster. Only three Democrats, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, and Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff of Georgia, voted with Republicans.

Trump can use the money he's stealing to pay the soldiers.

Dang. These Republicans sure are weak! They have a majority in the House and the Senate but they can't get anything done?

Republicans are in the "Good Times Create Weak Men" cycle of how civilizations fall.

No, they haven't cheated like Democrats did and use the "nuclear" option.

We decided to try it the regular way, like was intended.
