Watch, Trump is going to claim to be the SNAP savior now. And that it was “only with his tireless hard work” that “the evil Democrats that were trying to take your food away were forced to release this money”.
“Now worship me, pay more for your healthcare, forget all about the East Wing, the ballroom, the Epstein files, Argentina, selling your soybeans, selling your beef, the tariffs, the prices of food, and every other way I’m screwing over the American people! So much winning!”
Republicans hate Americans, their actions show this.
I think it’s very likely that enough Republicans are implicated that it will grant democrats majority over at least one of the chambers.
Only five more days and this shutdown is the longest in our history.
There are no negotiations to be had. Republicans deem “compromise” as you capitulating and caving to their demands… there is no give and take, only take.
🤯🤬
It’s always easier to blame someone else than to take responsibility for your own actions.
I hope every single person who voted for Trump is getting what they deserve.
Cue dump cultists saying how it’s all the dems fault…
Lol, tbh, both the Dems and Repubs are just playing a tiring game of tug-o-war at this point.
Republicans have the gall to claim that Democrats are “holding the country hostage” while they are abusing their trifecta of power to not only prolong a shutdown, but to avoid a vote on releasing Epstein related materials, and Mike Johnson is using this shutdown as an excuse.
For weeks leading up to the shutdown, Republicans were cancelling votes, refusing to negotiate or participate, forcing recesses, and not even showing up to votes on funding bills earlier in September.
Then at the last minute they tried to push a stopgap CR bill forward, pretending like this wasn’t part of a plan to control the narrative and blame Democrats for a shutdown that Republicans deliberately created the conditions for; an effort that was clearly insincere considering how GOP representatives were absent during key votes leading up to the shutdown.
When Democrats offered a CR bill counterproposal of their own that included healthcare protections, Republicans rejected it outright. And Mike Johnson had the audacity to recently say that Republicans care more about healthcare than Democrats.
The original CR measure failed because Trump and his GOP lackeys refused to negotiate—up till the very last moment—on rolling back their massive cuts to healthcare for millions of Americans *citizens,* and all while dismissing the reality that healthcare costs for Americans will increase considerably if ACA subsidies are not extended.
It’s worth noting that Democrats could have made far more demands of Republicans when you consider the widespread ramifications of Trump’s other policies and his so-called “big beautiful bill,” but they chose to narrow their focus on healthcare; giving Republicans the opportunity to compromise on a single issue, which they’ve continuously refused to do in their obstinacy.
Then of course came all the hysteria and lies about Democrats wanting to give healthcare to “illegals.”
At the same time, Instead of cooperating with Democrats to help avert a shutdown, Trump told them to “go fuck themselves” and chose to capitalize off of the shutdown by prohibiting important funding for Democrat run areas, imposing mass layoffs, threatening to permanently disrupt government services and operations, restricting access to aid and benefits, and all while he’s stated himself that this government shutdown is advantageous for him, regardless of who it impacts.
Trump’s spitefulness and negligence was on full display when he needlessly halted funding for SNAP as a means of bullying the democratic party into surrendering their fight against unaffordable healthcare and Medicaid cuts.
And just like the CR counterproposal that Democrats tried to pass before the shutdown, Republicans have also stubbornly rejected a recent proposal to provide funding for food assistance.
Who’s “holding the country hostage” now?
Trump is hanging these things over the heads of Americans while he continues to taunt Democrats at the expense of the public.
Trump is showing the American people where his priorities lie, especially as he continues taking a wrecking ball to the White House so he can forge ahead with his invasive and ridiculously expensive vanity project while the government remains shut down.
As long as it doesn’t affect him personally or financially, he couldn’t care less, everything else is just collateral damage, and the GOP is faithfully following along.
Trump also insisted that a shutdown will benefit him politically, implying that he doesn’t give a damn about the harm his actions will inflict on Americans, their families and the federal workforce.
But apparently Dems are the villains in this scenario. Go figure…
This is “the democrat shutdown” according to Mike Johnson—who is obviously toeing the line for Trump to prevent the release of what is very likely information that could implicate him in Epstein’s heinous crimes.
Trump exploited the inevitability of a shutdown—without any regard for the consequences—to dominate the narrative and blame his political opponents for his own inaction, cruelty and his pettiness throughout this whole fiasco.
According to recent polls however, most Americans will hold him and the GOP responsible for this outcome.
The claim that Dems are to blame because they’re demanding that Republicans expand healthcare to “illegals” is an utter myth.
The Dem proposal includes nothing about giving healthcare to immigrants and merely asks that some healthcare cuts affecting *millions of American citizens* be rolled back, and that subsidies be extended so American healthcare costs don’t skyrocket.
Republicans have consolidated power throughout every branch of government. They are trying desperately to control the narrative and blame their political opponents; choosing to focus most of their energy on politicizing this outcome rather than resolving it.
Sadly, their voters have taken the bait…
Over and over again I hear, “Democrats want to spend your hard earned tax dollars on healthcare for undocumented immigrants.” This is right-wing propaganda that has been packaged in many different forms over the years.
The Democrat proposal wants to extend healthcare subsidies and roll back the Medicaid cuts included in Trump’s “big beautiful bill.”
There is nothing in the proposal about offering healthcare to immigrants. In fact, undocumented immigrants are barred from most federally funded healthcare programs.
What’s more, a lot of these immigrants pay taxes, and taxes that go towards funding for public healthcare programs. In other words, while immigrants help to pay for American healthcare, they are also prohibited from receiving any coverage of their own.
Democrats are not “shutting down the government because they want to give healthcare to ‘illegals!'” They have only asked Republicans to come to the table to help protect healthcare costs from surging and to rein in their massive cuts to Medicaid that they unanimously decided to deprive millions of Americans of under the guise of some bullshit, xenophobic narrative about immigrants stealing tax dollars. A tired narrative that they’ve relied on so often in the past.
