Too late the decision has been made....side with Trump
Another opinion piece in a lefty rag that takes three or more people to put together.
So much WINNING...so much SCHADENFREUDE...
I took a nap after dinner and just woke up and checking the news
Schumer caves and President Donald John Trump Wins
How humiliating for the RATs to grandstand that they were not going to support “Trump’s budget” and then later that same day fully reverse course.
Beautiful!!
Today the Democrats acted like congressional Republicans—pumped up their base and then stabbed them in the back.
Lol.
Do we know when they are actually going to vote?
It’s up to the Senate to pass the bill and get it to President Donald Trump’s desk before the 11:59 p.m. deadline on Friday.
Don’t care if the gummit shuts down or not, I might care if 1,000,000 worthless employees were trimmed off for good. Might make a difference then.
Trump is the one with all the momentum. Shut down the government, he might lose his momentum.
Article 1 says that no money can be spent that was not approved by Congress.
Nothing in Article 2 says that the President has to spend money.
This is kind of the best of both worlds. If the democrats get most of the blame, that is a plus. And honestly, once most of America realizes life doesn’t end because some fat, lazy bureaucrat doesn’t get a paycheck, the real cuts will begin.
In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled Divided Democrats must decide: Side with Trump or shut down government, Pontiac wrote: They pointed out that the funding bill lacks directives included in regular appropriations bills that dictates how money can be spent, which would enable President Donald Trump and Elon Musk to lay off government workers and seek to eliminate programs without congressional input. Article 1 says that no money can be spent that was not approved by Congress.
Nothing in Article 2 says that the President has to spend money.
If the CR is approved, then Article 1 is fulfilled. The money will have been approved by Congress. Normally appropriations bills dictate how the money can be spent, but this one does not.
I’d love for the shutdown to happen. Then Trump can provide essential services and show nothing more is needed. Then fire them all!
Schumer caved. He’s now supporting the CR.
And they went after Schumer...and told him so...IMOW...."Look Old Man...You think you're going to come up with some Grand Plan which the Republicans will support. You're on your way out...most of us are not...we'll support it."
Democrats must know this: If they side with Trump then Trump wins. If they shut down the government, then Trump wins.
LOL!!!
I would rather see it shut down and let Trump and Musk run wild with their cuts.
Well Reddit (aka DU) is losing their 💩.
