Republicans are so tedious. They need to do their work. Voters need to stop voting for the ones who only want to hurt the functioning of the gov’t to help the Repubs. Change your policies if you want to run the gov’t. We’re tired of the foot-dragging obstruction and silliness. Don’t run for office if you don’t want to work.
What’s the problem with no illegals voting then?
All of you calling for a shutdown are idiots! If it happens, please go around your neighborhoods knocking on the doors of retirees; go stand in the parking lot of the VA; go stand in front of the locked door of the local military recruitment office, with a sign that says, “Go Ahead And Thank Me For This.”
LMFAO the VA and Military budget is separate, so is social security.. The only people who don’t get paid are federal employees. Recruiting office never close, you’ve obviously never been a recruiter LMFAO
@IronskullGM Effects of government shutdown: active duty military – work without pay; TSA and Air Traffic Control – 25% reduced workforce and work without pay; all departments that process government subsidies – closed. This includes student loans, small business loans, farm subsidies – all at a standstill. 25% of Social security Administration staff furloughed – delays in processing payments. WIC and SNAP benefits stop. Head Start – closed. VA – closed. IRS – closed. National Parks – closed. FDA inspections furloughed- which means that restaurants scheduled for inspection are closed because of the delay in that happening. Infrastructure projects that are funded by federal funds – halted. Furloughed federal employees may be able to recoup 60-75% of back pay. But the private citizens who can’t work because their business ties to federal funds, lose out. This is not my opinion. All of this is easily available with a little research into the domino effect of the impact of a government shutdown. OBTW, all of you who are angry at congress for infighting and not getting stuff done, and think this hurts them…WRONG! They don’t lose a dime. (Not that it would hurt them anyway since they’ve all become wealthy from insider trading).
Will a government shutdown hurt Trump?
Shut down the government.
Shut down the government until these politicians fix the deficit! They created it! Shut it down, no more spending until you pay off the debt first!
🎉😢 shut it down
The MSM will never learn. The left leaning view isn’t relevant.
so the dems are gonna run up more debt? The credit cards are maxed out, but I bet they find a way to make our future even more in debt
Vote all Republicans out that support him .
Looks like the Loomertics have it!
Let it expire if Dems vote no on GOP bill
I sure hate the Democrats saved Mike Johnson’s job.
From now on all bills need to completely be shown to America. Tired of this hiding thing in bills
Mike Johnson no ILLEGALS VOTE in Americas election at any level
Pass the Save Act or shut down the damm government until the Save Act passes
It won’t happen
@@skyemac8 then shut it down. Illegals must not be allowed to vote
So Trump wants to shut the government down. Just like he would run the country. How stupid. He doesn’t care about our country only himself.
Close it no way we let noncitizens vote this is treason again by the Biden administration if they let them vote they all need to go
they keep bringing bills they know even some of them say they don’t support. We keep telling you all the GOP can’t Govern in the end the Democrats have to clean up their mess Wake up.
SHUT IT DOWN IT DOESN’T WORK FOR AMERICA ANYWAY.
A lot of ignorant pretend right wingers in these comments. GOP is losing.
Good bye.
