Timed perfectly with that insane San Fran judge who declared, as if by royal edict from a queen, that Trump can not fire federal employees during the shut down. This, keeping the bureaucrats on the payroll who can continue to screw the American taxpayer.

imho, dems realize that the only way they can fund all their kickback schemes is to get that pork in the bills. otherwise, their party is toast and all the institutional and resistance measures hinge on the theft they’ve institutionalized over the decades through pork laden resolutions.

They need to at least get through their “no kings” protests. Maybe they’ll get lucky and something will develop in their favor then, but even if not, the dem leadership needs to keep their mobs angry at Trump and not turning the pitchforks against other democrat politicians.

Who cares? The only people who seem effected by this “shutdown “ are government employees who are pathetic self-important parasitesmany more of these pathetic degenerate losers need fired.

Ouch. You’re right. Not even a cane would have helped that. He just flat out fell.

That was difficult to watch.

After J6, I would not put it past the Dems to kill their own during this “No Kings” farce, just to pin it on Trump. Lying is all they have left.

The Demonicrat senators will continue to shut down the federal government until there are seriou economic repercussions (for which the Enemedia will blame Trump and the Republicans) or until the Demonicrat senators are charged, tried, and convicted for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

It’s difficult to be aware that half (or more) of your country’s “leadership” have been there far too long, are far too old, and that their daily life and life experiences are far removed from the people they allegedly “represent”.

Wonder how the regular demoncRATS on the street feel about seeing their leadership deny them opportunities to return to work go down the drain for the 10th time? Or do they even care?

The Democrats and Sunsong - who says Trump has the power to “end the shutdown now” without any explanation to justify the remark, despite being asked repeatedly to do so...also says that the Supreme Court being majority Republican appointees is also somehow relevant.

If he gives the democrats the BS free medical to illegals and millions in other free benefits.

They are dodging the facts to blame Trump while he ending wasting tax payer money

Trump told them it isn’t going to happen deal with it.

Dems divide, they need division to keep the hatred burning in their voters as they have no real policy that is widely popular. This will spark their No kings riots.
