Republicans keep waiting on Democrats to accept their clean CR bill and move on with a vote to reopen the government, but they won't do it. They want perks in there.
Well, JD Vance is here to give the "Dad" explanation as to why Republicans aren't going to cave on this one.
🚨 BREAKING: JD Vance just said it PERFECTLY on the federal shutdown
"This is how a CHILD BEHAVES!"
"They are trying to take a hostage. IF WE DO THAT - give them everything they want? In 3 MONTHS, they are gonna shut down the aviation industry and deny SNAP unless you give us… pic.twitter.com/D4hifke4to— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) October 30, 2025
If we say, 'yes, of course, we'll give you everything you want if you reopen the government,' you know what's going to happen? In three months, they are going to come back to the administration and they're again going to say 'we're going to shut down the aviation industry, we're going to deny SNAP unless you give us exactly what you want' -- that's how a child behaves! That is not how a responsible governing party behaves in the United States of America.

Got that, ladies and gents?
Democrats -- not ordinary Americans, but the politicians -- are acting like children. They're whining so they can get what they want.
And JD Vance just told you why that's not gonna happen.
Good luck, Democrats!
A little context: Even Jake Tapper knows that Senate Democrats are holding the country hostage by not helping Republicans hit that 60-vote majority number they need to open the government.
CNN’s Jake Tapper: “This is... a choice by Senate Democrats to not vote to open the government.”
Democrat Rep. Melanie Stansbury: “No it is not.”
CNN’s Tapper: “Yes it is.”

JD is not your dad, Democrat theater kids - but he’s gonna act like it for your own good.
IF WE DO THAT - give them everything they want?“
I find that quote a bit troubling. It implies a willingness to give the rats some concessions when they should get none of their demands, not a single one.
It was an interrogative, not a statement...........

When the ‘RATs have lost Jake Fapper ... it’s time for them to surrender ....
Tempting as it is, in reality there is no 100% purity in politics. There’s always give and take. Now, how much you get and what you let go to reach it is part the nagotiaton and power you hold.
This was a stupid stunt from the beginning.
They are stuck with a Hobson’s choice, cave and pass the CR and be humiliated, or stay obstinate and suffer the wrath of their voters..............
Democrats: “I won’t stop screaming and crying until you buy me that candy bar I want”.
Republicans: “If you don’t stop crying, we’re leaving right now and you’re going straight to bed”.
And they do it because it has always worked....
There’s always give and take.“
In this instance l disagree. There should be no “give and take”. It is the same CR the rats agreed to when their President had control. The Republicans are not asking for anything.
Just remember: Chuck Schumer is taking food away from poor little children and disabled veterans.
“Chuck Schumer is taking food away from poor little children and disabled veterans.”
I’m pretty sure I’ll still get my check.
Just like a Democrat...
 Even the leftist media is beginning to turn on them. When SNAP goes at midnight tomorrow then it will all break loose.
It’s a low down dirty rotten shame that so many Americans are so reliant on government for their existence. 😕
Maybe put AOC across his knees and spank her.
 On second thought, not good optics.
“How a child behaves”? You give them too much credit J.D.
Agreed. Not one damn thing.
