Maximum pain to Americans in need of a paycheck

Maximum pain to SNAP recipients

Minimum pain to themselves bc of their lust for power

It's no surprise to anyone

The party is pure evil.

They care more about disrupting an elected president’s term than feeding needy people.

It’s all to get at Trump and appease the lunatics who run their party

Border closed
Illegals being deported
Gas and Eggs are down
Peace / Wars Ended
Only two genders
Wokeism dying

This was their last hope. Manufacture pain and suffering to point the finger.

frick every liberal. Every single one of them.

Wasn't this one of the goals of the MAGA camp though? To dramatically reduce the size of government?

The board didn't seem to care about this when Elon Musk wielded a chainsaw and eliminated tens of thousands of federal jobs. In fact, Americans in need of a paycheck losing their jobs was celebrated. This is such a strange place.

If the Dems really cared about jobs and air travel why are they so vehemently opposed to opening up the government?

No one in Congress cares about anyone but themselves and their campaign donors.

In 2 months the shut-down will start all over again.

If they wanted it to go on forever, a bunch of them wouldn’t have broken ranks.

You think that happened by happenstance?

They were directed to break ranks and protect the rest of the party. Now the rest can claim they stood strong, while a few moderates that aren’t in any real danger of losing their seat can end the shut down.

Wow. Just an incredibly stupid take.

I guess every government job is essential to you.

There is always a demand for a code writer. They can learn to code.

I don’t want people to go hungry, but I stopped at Walmart on my way to a tailgate this weekend and I didn’t even recognize the store with snap shutdown.

Aisles empty, didn’t feel like I needed to check my 6 walking to the car that night… it was wild.

It was clear from the beginning that the democrats in congress did not want a shutdown at all, but leaders like Schumer felt they had to throw raw meat to their base. We all knew that as soon as the elections were over, and the base had voted, they would end the shutdown. So it depends on what you mean by “democrats”. Their base? Yeah, they wanted it to go on. The congressmen? No, they wanted it over before it began.
