Once again, Republicans control everything and can’t even pass a bill amongst themselves.

    Democrats need to not help. If the government gets shutdown, so be it. Republicans will ultimately be blamed. If Republicans want help, they need to get Elon out as a minimum condition and force congress to stand up to the oval office regarding impoundment.

      This is ABSURD! If the Democrats don’t HELP the Republicans they MIGHT lose the Republican Vote that they ALREADY don’t have!

        And they’d definitely hurt even more people than are already being harmed. Republicans can play brinkmanship games because they don’t care about people at all. Democrats can’t do the same without becoming Republicans in the process.

          Nah, we’re past that point. People are gonna get hurt. People are already getting hurt. I say shut the government down just like the Republicans did so many times before. Be as obstructionist as they have been. Filibuster everything. Let’s see how they like it. If the only thing we get out of it is a Democrat congressional majority in 2026, then we can talk about stopping the hurt and stabilizing the country. That’s IF there’s a real election. And IF the Cunt d’Orange hasn’t assumed all power by then, rendering Congress ceremonial, or even vestigial.

      Nope. Nope nope nope nope nope.

      Nothing short of complete dissolvement of DOGE and a reversal of everything they’ve done so far should be accepted. And that needs to be done before Democrats offer a single vote to assist.

      Putting Elon’s removal as a condition would just lead to Republicans saying “Sorry, we asked Trump pretty please can you fire Elon and he said no. What else can we do? Too bad, so sad, but hey thanks for bailing us out again.”

        They’re busy working on their “messaging” to let Americans know they hear you and care, while doing nothing but collecting donations and messaging.

      Seems fine to me. How do we make this the Democrats fault when Republicans control all branches of the government?

        They’ll blame Dem’s and RINO’s and their idiot base will slober their cloven hooves in admiration.

        We dont, but we will be watching for scabs that vote for it anyway.

        • A good list to start would be the ten Democrats who voted to punish Al Green. They are:

          Ami Bera of California, Ed Case of Hawaii, Jim Costa of California, Laura Gillen of New York, Jim Himes of Connecticut, Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, Jared Moskowitz of Florida, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington and Tom Suozzi of New York

    The 99-page continuing resolution, or CR, would increase defense spending

    Showing, fucking yet again, that they are not serious at all about decreasing gov’t spending.
