I mean, of all the things that were going to happen with Trump as president, this was going to happen the most.

I stop at a little curvy if the chest is holding firm.

But you get the fatties.

The Dems should let people’s healthcare costs go through the roof. Sometimes a little pain is necessary for change. Meanwhile:

"But it really depends on who you're talking about," he said. "For the most part, we're going to take care of our people."

Trump added, "There are some people that really don't deserve to be taken care of, and we'll take care of them in a different way."

When asked why he said some workers should not get their back pay, he said, "Ask the Democrats that question."

So what, federal workers from blue states are the next to lose funding?

He'd limit backpay to only republican government workers if he could

her, of all people in her party, is making sense?

Republicans control majorities in the Senate and the House, not to mention POTUS is a Republican. They hold no responsibility?

Honestly, I think the Dems got their message out at this point. End the shutdown and let the insurance premiums shoot up.

i'll bet sloth's next paycheck that trump will blame the dems and biden when the sheet hits the fan.

c'mon, who has $250 to bet with?

MTG and AOC have grown up in a hurry. They may have been jokes coming in but it's hard to find anybody in congress making more sense both in substance and messaging than them right now.

MTG has proven that if nothing else her convictions are pure, something the rest of MAGA world abandoned a long time ago.

I'd love to think MTG is maturing and starting to recognize and push back against partisan BS regardless of party lines, I really would. But I'm way too jaded for that. I think it's much more likely she likes the attention of being a dissenting opinion and since everyone in the Republican party has taken the mushroom deek balls deep, the only way she can do that is by zagging left from time to time.

I hope she proves me wrong.

Trying to expand beyond "rac*st" for everything? 🤣🤣🤣

They're speaking for you. You should be embarrassed by their responses.

In a lot of areas undocumented children can get limited Medicaid benefits. It pretty much covers just generic antibiotics and other emergency meds. Aka keep you out of the hospital kind of stuff. Which even aside from the moral arguments, is a reasonable cost/benefit decision when you weigh the cost vs the cost of ED visits. So her point still stands, but the lies aren't always pure fabrication. They're just gross exaggerations and manipulations of something real.

The ones pushing this crap are not stupid people. They're just good at manipulating stupid people.

Why the shut down this time?

They need to do something.....

Pretty crazy how they just straight up lie and we see that the cult believes it even when shown proof. Exhibit A: this thread

Let me guess. This is all the Democrats fault. They made Trump-appointed, Project 2025 creator, OMB director Russ Vought fire all those federal employees.
