BREAKING: Senator Kennedy just introduced a resolution that would PREVENT members of Congress from collecting a paycheck during a shutdown. "This resolution is about SHARED SACRIFICE," and says that he doesn't want to punish anyone by offering this, but Democrats LOVE to punish everyone they can if they think... it hurts Trump too. The left has USED the leverage of pain trying to beat Trump. Their TDS is so severe that they have NO REGARD for how their actions hurt us.show more

Imagine how quickly they would get a funding bill passed

@congress you fuckers shouldn't be receiving a salary at all.

Get it done. Let them know what it feels Like to suffer like these government employees who work tirelessly for our safety.

If federal workers, TSA agents, and our troops go without paychecks during a shutdown, Congress shouldn't get a dime either. Shared sacrifice means ALL of us feel the pain—not just the people actually doing the work. Pass S. Res. 526 NOW!🇺🇲

Shared sacrifice makes sense, but the real solution is stopping shutdowns in the first place, not just blaming the other side when they happen.

Great idea

Are we making sense now.

Honestly though the democrats deserve to be punished for Always going against Trump and what’s best for America… JS☝️🤷‍♀️

Get rid of their lifetime pensions!

Better to deduct from their paycheck and give it the citizens they hurt.

Thats right! Shoulda been like that already

This should have already been a thing.

They will never pass it! Hopefully he can get it to a vote so we can see the no’s 😎

This is the way.

Should be mandatory.

@SenJohnKennedy Don’t you realize your democratic colleagues hate our Country and our citizens almost as much as they hate President Trump? Your Resolution needs to be introduced and reintroduced until it gets passed in the Senate. It needs to be put on state ballots for a vote?

sounds fair... if you all as leaders feel it's justified that people don't get paid for you to make a point.. get a vote trough or whatever.. you are not a leader if you yourself are not ready to face the same consequences.. no pay for the same duration imo. And plz remenber that this is "normal" hardworking people.. it's more than likely that some can't make the mortgage, rent or loan payment and your "powerplay" are the direct reason that the bank now move in and claim all they own and they find themselves on the street with nothing but a hungry and cold family.. and a towering debt hanging over them like a damocles sword.. how is that in any way moral ? .. just asking cuz i could not find any ethics and morals in it.

Agreed!!

@magaforce24 fthedemocrats they are NOT Americans

Absolutely. If you’re going to shut down the government then you’re are shutting down yourselves. You are cutting the funding for your own paycheck. Correct?

I give him credit for trying. But I doubt any of the members of congress would agree to that any more than they would agree to term limits!

Sounds good to me.

Democrats do not care about anyone or anything except themselves and their own ideals for control.

Democrats and Rinos won't allow such a bill to pass. They should have term limits also.

God bless this man!

Great idea.

It won't matter if you don't cut off the bribe money they all receive.

Mike Pence is the man that God wants Donald Trump to be.

Now pass one where every military member's paycheck gets the same percentage raise as members of congress and make it retroactive to 1960..adjusted for inflation.

I’m sure all the principled Republicans will vote for that.

Never be another Senator Kennedy! Love this guy

Shared sacrifice” sounds fair, but does it actually change incentives during a shutdown? Members of Congress missing pay doesn’t necessarily resolve the underlying gridlock. So what problem does this realistically solve?

That's a roose to look like they've done something upstanding. Congressional pay is Not their bread and butter. FINE THEM O.25% daily of their net worth. They make millions in kickbacks & insider trading & lobbiests.

and then a Democrat Senator yelled I object and ran out of the Chamber. What kind of kindergarten bullshit is that?

👏🏻
