Who cares.

This is entirely meaningless as is every headline about Trump suffering a "legal blow" or some other long past normal nonsense.

"More Blame GOP and Trump than Democrats"

Why wouldn't The Party of Responsibility welcome this responsibility?

Dems are morons

They picked an issue where if they win the save Trump from a massive political hit.

Just plain stupid

Shut the government down until he is impeached and removed from office.

"Republican leaders reject ending the Senate filibuster despite Trump's call to nuke it

4 hr ago

The top two Republicans in Congress are showing no interest in taking the unprecedented step of ending the legislative filibuster, just hours after President Donald Trump made a fresh demand for the Senate to do so to end the government shutdown."

www.cnn.com

Moses Mike go a little pouty about it all and blamed their DISOBEDIENCE to King Trump on Dems:

""They would pack the Supreme Court, they would make Puerto Rico and DC states. They would ban firearms. They would do all sorts of things that would be very harmful to the country," Johnson said, stressing that Trump's late-night Truth Social post on the filibuster was an "expression of the president's anger at this situation."

FEEL the anger! hahaha!

There are literally YEARS worth of SNAP funding available, and Emergency Funds available for a Gov Shutdown. But Trump and Republicans have decided not to use them.

And they took this info down from the Gov Website.

"But still, Donald Trump's policies are
more and more terrifying.

There are years worth of funding
available for the SNAP program, our tax
dollars that we have already paid to the
federal government to facilitate this
program.

And the Trump administration
deleted this language from the website
this morning.

They are hiding the fact that not only
is there more than enough funding to pay
these benefits, that we have already
paid our tax dollars into, but that
there was contingency language to ensure
that even in the event of a government
shutdown, that SNAP would go
uninterrupted.

The Trump administration and the
Republicans supporting him are using
food as a political weapon.

This is a choice. They chose to delete
this language. They are choosing to
force children to go hungry."

Republicans controlled Congress then too.

Why are they so irresponsible?!

And why aren't they in D.C. earning the paychecks they're still getting when other government employees aren't getting paid?!

#24 | Posted by AMERICANUNITY at 2025-10-31 06:21 PM

MAGA can literally end the shutdown at any time. MAGA controls all 3 branches of government. The Democratic Party is not responsible for the shutdown.

#25 | Posted by chuffy at 2025-10-31 06:28 PM

All Trump has to do is say, "OK, use the Emergency Funds that were provided for this."

And then call his Billionaire Buddys and tell them their tax cuts will be like a day late.

#26 | Posted by Corky at 2025-10-31 06:41 PM

All Trump has to do is say, "OK, use the Emergency Funds that were provided for this."

And that would benefit him personally how? Not going to happen.

I was thinking that if he did, we could offer him a gold statue of himself in the DC Armory.

Or a genuine replica of the Nobel Peace Prize... I mean, it's not like he would know the difference.

#28 | Posted by Corky at 2025-10-31 06:53 PM

Beside, two Fed Judges have ordered him to use the Emergency Funds, and he has to respond by Monday.

(another fine Front Page story)

This is the republicl0wns still doing butthurt over Obama.

How many years has the republicl0wn pigs had to come up with a better plan than "Obamacare"?

They are up against the wall again with this. To come up with something better... they have nowhere to go but socialized medicine... and they did it to themselves.

Now watch the ex-military DR numbskulls with access to government fully subsidized healthcare 24-7 extoll opinionated wisdom on a subject they know nothing about.
