  1. Rioting seems kind of extreme TBH. I wouldn’t really call that weak, I’d call it the act of extremists I’m personally not a fan. They were also not directed by a Dem leader that I’d vote for…unlike Don. You love his riots.
  2. Schumer says that the CR they are voting on was written without Dems input. Is that true?
  3. The buck stops with the Prez! If he wants to get into a blame game match with Chuck Schumer I guess that’s his prerogative.
  4. No he should learn how to get things done. Remember “It’s a weak President that gets a shutdown happening while they are in charge” -DJT
  5. No government shutdown under Joe. Biden got Infrastructure bill with 19 republicans in Senate voting. Donald couldn’t do it in 4 years.
  6. Trump can’t figure out a way to outsmart Chuck Schumer. Last time Don found himself in this predicament, Pelosi really stuff him into the locker on that one.
  7. It’s on the Prez to get people in the room and get it done. Who said that
  8. Look. Obama got ACA through. Same voting process. He got it done. Biden got infrastructure through. Trump couldn’t do that. Trump’s in charge an it all goes titts up twice now. He doesn’t seem to know how to do this part of the job.
  9. There are real government jobs, not like your part time mail sorting gig, that have to happen. Those people are getting close to not getting paid. I’m guessing a way will get figured out to pay them if no deal is done. Will end up costing more in the long run. For non-critical gov jobs they shouldn’t be fired because our leaders can’t get things done. Thats crazy talk.
  10. I’m explaining to you what you don’t seem to get - Trump keeps getting these shutdowns while he’s in power. He sucks at this!
  11. This is all part of politics. Up to this point it seems Trump is taking the blame. His own words in the past support that - it’s on the Prez. When people don’t get checks and basic services we’ll see what happens. The point remains…why does this happen when Trump is Prez. Why does he suck at this part of the job?
  12. He can. You need to make it worth his while or give him something. Kind of the negotiation part as he has this leverage. Art of the Deal and all!
  13. Yeah. The government will stop writing checks very soon. This will all end up costing way more. It’s pretty bad. The buck stops with the Prez, like Donald said.
  14. Johnson sent the House home early on vacation to avoid the Epstein vote Trump can’t figure out a way to get like 10 Dem Senators to vote with him.
  15. Who knows? Can’t be worse. Government keeps shutting down with Trump in charge. He can’t seem to figure out leverage, negotiation, etc.
  16. Art of the Deal. Trump can’t figure it out. Has to fall back on freaking out his antics talking to to the media. His perfect cognitive tests where he identified a giraffe, getting pissy when asked about the WH he is blowing up, etc. It’s his main move,
  17. Maybe Trump can call up Biden or Obama and asked them how they did it.
  18. Oh it’s the RINO’s If you know you don’t have the votes you kind of have to give something? Right? That seems like some basic level negotiating. Mike Johnson sent everyone home prior to this shutdown…take a guess why!
  19. Biden got major legislation through a Republican Senate. Obama got ACA done among other things. Crazy how they did this. Must have been magic!
  20. Right! Biden and the Dems give things up in the negotiation. That’s why it’s called a negotiation.
  21. Somehow Biden didn’t have this happen got major legislation through. Same for Obama
  22. Why does this keep happening with Trump as Prez? I thought he was the worlds best deal maker
  23. Right. They all want to keep their gigs.
  24. I like the fine people of Oklahoma. Some congressman trying to keep his cushy gig at all costs…not so much.
