      He’s NOT gonna be happy about this, he’s gonna kick and scream and ask for their asses to be fired.

      There’s really no way they can spin this positively for themselves.

      Now the Republicans who did this look like traitors to Trump’s base and this guys days are numbered even though he made the right call, Trump and the base don’t get to pretend the Dems caused the shutdown, and Harris will keep gaining momentum while they keep floundering on basic shit like voting on budgets.

      Donnie The Rump doesn’t hold public office. The fact that these shits listen to him at all right now is an insult to the American people. “American First” my ass.

      >Congress has agreed a short-term deal 

      This is how they operate. In the short term.

      Trump influence and dominance of the GOP slipping? Maybe concerns are moving to their own record and Congress continuance, rather than backing what seems like a losing horse.

      Trump: break the economy so I can fix it!

      Y’all listening undecideds and swing voters?

      >Trump had sought to use the issue to highlight his claims that illegal migrants could end up on voting rolls in November, laying the ground to question the election result, echoing his claim that the 2020 vote was rigged. Trump urged congressional Republicans to shut down the government without “absolute assurances on election security”.

      This pathetic person is nothing more than a national security risk and fear mongering degenerate. We deserve so much better than this

      Republicans in Congress rightfully recognized, after the 5th or 6th or maybe 12th time they have tried to shut the government down for whatever ransom they demand at that moment, that the public would hold Republicans responsible for the consequences.

      “Yeah but if we shut down the government, they’ll blame US for the government shutdown!”

      No shit?

      At some point republicans have to start worrying about the downballot races and abandon trump

      So this is a bare bones extension, not full funding, which is also bad for government planning and projects but better than a shutdown.

      Trump will be livid and threaten every Republican that votes for it, fortunately you only need 5 of them or the majority to abstain and Dems voting for it.

      This probably just means the shutdown is pushed until after the election, cause if they lose they’ll want to do it.

      Country before Party folks — anyone who doesn’t play by those rules is not a Patriot.

      “I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

      If stump was ahead in the polls, they would be jumping hurdles for him. But they are worried that if Harris/ Waltz wins, they will be out of a job so they are willing to work with the democrats now. We have all seen their true colors many, many times.

    16. Immolation_E on

      We need to permanently end this shutdown drama. Maybe budgets should stand in perpetuity until it’s amended?

    17. SmedlyB on

      Until December in the lame duck and held hostage while election is under continuous certification litigation. Because the house will get to name the next president, and it will be nun other than MAGA Mike. And, “it shall be bloodless of the left allows it”

    23. Browns45750 on

      All he has to do is get Cruz or hawley to muck this up in the senate

    24. ggrieves on

      Goodbye Mike, you won’t be missed. Your only value was keeping the position away from someone worse.

    25. CreepyWhistle on

      I’m surprised. I figured that even without a reason, they’d shut everything down to blame Harris.
