Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

No matter how hard you try to spin it, Democrats chose to shut down the government to give illegals health care. 💯

It's a fake shutdown. We want a real shutdown.

You Sir are an iDIOT.

Trump's shutdown tantrum proves he's still the chaos king, starving families and gutting healthcare to fund billionaire tax breaks, because nothing says "winning" like screwing over America on day one.

Trump won the electoral college and the popular vote. This is what we voted for. You aren’t resisting Trump, you’re resisting the will of the American people. That’s undemocratic.

Yeah, you assholes want to give money meant for Americans to illegal aliens while we don’t have health insurance.

MAGAs are going hungry but they’re getting steady diet of mayhem, destruction and violence against minorities. So far they’ve been satisfied, because they’ve been mostly lied to. Do they even know that Trump is mocking them and using them? But for how much longer?

It's been shut down so he can funnel funds. That's why he's made over 6 billion dollars in less than a year.

Agree💯 This isn't normal. The shutdown is being used as a smokescreen for a dictator's takeover. A shutdown can't legally become "permanent" but it can be dragged out & repeated until it works like a permanent collapse. Even if funding comes back later, the damage is done.😵‍💫

You can blame people like Pritzker who expanded Medicaid for gender affirming surgeries. Tax payers shouldn't have to pay for illegals health care or healthy people to get their D and Breasts cut off while unhealthy people are denied.

Since you’re not in the Senate, let a Senator explain it to you Bob…

I'm assuming you got to where you are due to dementia.

!!!

Exactly — this one’s not business as usual, it’s a full-blown hostage situation. Normally shutdowns are just budget tantrums, but this time the swamp is deliberately strangling the system to ram through trillions in woke garbage, foreign aid, and healthcare for illegals. They want chaos so they can use fear to force Americans into swallowing their poison bill. This isn’t a “normal shutdown,” it’s political extortion with your country held at gunpoint.

Were you in favor of keeping the government running when your party created this mess by allowing 20,000,000+ non-citizens to enter and collapse our healthcare system, or was that an oversight?

😂😂😂

I'm sick of paying for foreign aid when we have our own TAXPAYING CITIZENS struggling here and our debt is 114% of GDP. Shut it down and cut the foreign aid until we have our own house in order.

Robert PLEASE be honest. Medicare cuts are just tightening and enforcing eligibility requirements for illegal immigrants and able bodied men in the BB Bill. You owe it to your low information Dem voters. You know that Chuck Schumer has to do this to not be primaried by AOC

He will fire 100k that we dont need today

I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention but foreign aid is just about the last thing on most people’s minds.

Robert you are smack on. I’ve been through a few government shutdowns as well. It ends up costing us in the billions, but at this point, I don’t care if it’s the trillions. Democrats have got to find a way of keep him away from the purse and as long as possible

Democrats have no leverage, your party is basically over as it stands. Republicans are not going to continue funding radical leftist policies. Yes, Democrats need 7 signatures, which they refuse, so effectively they are shutting down the government. Doesn't really matter, the days of radical left policies are over. Trump has been running the government just fine. Not perfect of course, but has done everything the majority of American voted for - importantly a crack down on corrupt left agencies, illegal immigration and restoring law and order. Getting rid of leftish woke ideology. Close to everything you said Robert is hogwash and you are losing your audience. As I said, Democrats do not have leverage as Americans no longer support leftist wack job policies. Have a good day, and good luck.

No its not a normal shutdown, we have some business to attend to while it is shut down though. We are about to clean house, big time. Some folks will not see the light of day. You really Pissed off the GIANT, all 77 million of them. We tried to work with ya, now we want revenge for the shit you brought into OUR Country.

A government shutdown was promised to @RBReich 3000 years ago.

Republicans need the deficit to prove government doesn’t work that’s a lie. We are getting left behind as other countries have ~0️⃣Individual healthcare costs ~0️⃣homeless ~0️⃣prison population Most happy citizens Greater infrastructure Budget surpluses >Sovereign wealth fund

Watch this space - all this is part of Trumps plan to defer Mid Term elections to keep himself out of prison

The federal government needs to go on forced spending fast "before" it has a major heart attack.
