I don't think the GOP yet realizes that they own this- the spin machine to get them out of that pocket is in overtime. FOX and all the conservative outlets are on hyperdrive trying to re-label it, but it's ok. Their moment to claim a lap due to getting the government re-opened is part n parcel of this type of thing.

It's going to come back to haunt them again in January when the CR runs out- and if they have NOT done their part- (this shut down will be considered the second longest shutdown in history.)

American's don't give a fuck who fixes the subsidies- but when the DEMs have stood up for Joe America- and the GOPs are still working on a concept- the end will be that regular ppl in the world are fucked out of healthcare they can afford. Sadly- it's because fearmongers like the REDHATS are saying it's all going to illegals- when that isn't the case or proven; All government programs are rife with fraud- by the nature of the beast, but tossing babies out with bathwater to have a political win is what this current administration is all about doing. I've never seen such a destructive piece of shit doing any damage they can; whenever they can. pathetic.

Hey eye!

It appears that Mr. Gristle is (predictably) incapable of answering the question(s) I posed to him in my post #134. Wanna give it a shot?

Thanks in advance!

And here's your boy Chucky in 2019:

"Shutting down government over a policy difference is self-defeating. It can never hold American workers hostage again."


Can you spell H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E?

Does this fool not know his past statements are forever recorded on video?


Now pray tell, Mr. Gristle, was Chucky Schumer right in 2013 & 2019? And wrong in 2025?

Or was he right in 2025? And wrong in 2013/2019?


Or... are you a moral relativist? Does something that was wrong when the GOP did it suddenly become right when the Dems do it?

Which is it?

The lunatic Left is trying to take out Fetterman after he voted to end the shutdown!!!!!!

BREAKING��: Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., was hospitalized on Thursday after he fell near his home in Pennsylvania, a spokesperson for the senator said.

"During an early morning walk, Senator Fetterman sustained a fall near his home in Braddock. Out of an abundance of caution, he was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh," the spokesperson said. "Upon evaluation, it was established he had a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that led to Senator Fetterman feeling light-headed, falling to the ground and hitting his face with minor injuries."

The spokesperson added that Fetterman is currently "doing well and receiving routine observation at the hospital."

But it was the Republican shutdown!!!!!!

BAHAHAHA

What isn't a conspiracy in your mind. Jeezus- everything is nefarious and conteptuous- which is more telling about you than the reality of things. John F., whom I found to be actually a lot more agreeable in his later interviews- (saw him on Laura Trump) seemed to be less about kissing rings, but also more about doing the right thing for the public and didn't agree with any shutdowns.

My feeling is that it's likely a mindset that would have worked in the past where you could trust the people across the aisle to be of their word, and not just about tribal politics- BUT....that's not the case today. You cannot trust either side- but I find it increasingly hard to trust RedHats due to them standing beside the outright lies that stream from the Whitehouse. As far as Fetterman's fall, it was likely due to him actually wearing a suit the other day vs. his Bill Belichick look of a hoody and shorts. Likely damaged his Herman Munster head a little with the tight tie- and subsequent blood flow issues. They are saying it's A-fib, or the like---but in reality- he likely caught a wiff off Trumps diaper upon return the whitehouse.

Demonization 101- always blame the other side. What's more stupid in the comments is the " not gonna pay my bills". I find that to be absolutely ridiculous since congress still gets it's money and most of those affected by the shutdown will be made whole (not 100% on hourly contractors, but likely them also)

What's not surprising to me out of either of the quotes- is that one thing is common and also more prevalent. Why do both sides need a shutdown to make a point, or to get to a discussion. I know that you and a few on the board think they need to cut out all of DC and the agencies, but if this taught you nothing more than this- there are real impacts for removing actions and offices- IE ATC, SNAP and other things like paying military etc.

there isn't much leverage for the party that is Not in majority these days so I'm neither shocked or impressed by any shut downs. The duration is stupid and the fact that tribal politics- MOSTLY now by definition of MAGA- aka REDHATs is so entrenched. Its like there isn't any other way than Trump- and the guy is a fucking train wreck of a POTUS>

So to that end, hostages are what made the GOP agree to atleast a vote on ACA subsidies. NOT what I would have stopped it for- but rather a guarantee of another 12 months minimum. The power of waiting it out- means you got to have the balls and stamina to do exactly that. Chas Schumer has neither the balls or the stamina or the guts to do that. AND - he should have told the GOP to go fuck themselves if he really wanted to escallate power. He won't get re-elected anyway- but by throwing himself on the sword would have been a good way to go out as a political martyr.

Now he's just a washed up coffee boy mouth piece.

This is awesome..

Kristi Noem handed out $10,000 bonus checks to Houston TSA workers who showed up to work during the Democrat government shutdown

Don’t yell at me, but I can’t help but notice the lack of diversity. ��

I really don't have a problem with the 10k bonuses. I have a problem with Sean Duffy pretending that shutting down air traffic under the guise of safety vs politics. And everyone else should do too. That's just absolutely a loss of all ethics when you bow to a political whim under a falsity of safety. 10k now makes it safer???

Nah. We all know it doesn't. It's inversely related just like a line worker who makes 4x the base rate when they are on storm duty working overtime ,vs being safe at the same base rate. The safety is the same...the money isn't

The truth summed up.

Stephen Miller, the real Story…

“Democrats got NOTHING! Chuck Schumer went to the wall and got NOTHING! Hakeem Jeffries went to the wall and LOST. The Democrat party is DEAD.”

He is my spirit animal… lol

So myopic and short-sighted of Stephen Miller to say that. Democrats just ensured a blue wave in the midterms next year. The MAGA party will soon be over. Much like Stephen's hair, MAGA is circling the drain.
