“Trump, he’s had it with these people, because he knows they’re playing politics,” said the second person. “Nobody thought it was going to last this long.”
Trump and his top aides thought that unpaid federal workers, closed and limited federal facilities and threats of ever-more job cuts from Russ Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, would be too much for Democrats to handle
“I don’t know what’s wrong with them,” he said of Democrats Friday. “They’ve never done a thing like this. They’ve become crazed lunatics. All they have to do is say, ‘Let’s go. Let’s open up our country.’ And everything snaps back into shape. So there’s something wrong with them… It’s their fault. Everything is their fault. It’s so easily solved.”
Look, honestly, I kind of am too. Though for much different reasons.
To be fair, I think everyone is baffled that the Dems haven’t caved by now. I didn’t think it was possible to regrow a spine.
I think it’s just theater. Both sides pretend they our outraged by the shutdown while using it to cut all the things their donors wanted to cut for a long time. They will keep cutting social programs and firing federal workers as long as they can and when they finally re-open the government to great fanfares the programs and jobs will still be gone. All the money the government saved will then be funneled to the rich.
I said something similar and got destroyed
Schmuck Schumer thinks he is punishing us as much as the Republicans. He should have shut the government down in the Spring, and he took a LOT of heat for not doing it.
So he let it go forward this time, and probably expected Dems to chicken out by now, only to be surprised that the citizens are demanding that he hold the line.
High health care costs and SNAP benefits hit the Red states much harder than the Blue states, despite the nonsense from the Conservative Propaganda Machine. All the Dems have to do is remain steady, and the MAGAs will either fold, or get destroyed in the Midterms.
Unless they cancel Midterms for the first time in American history, and then it’s on.
And BTW, it’s LONG past time for Schmuck to go. He’s rich enough, time to disengage him from the Congressional Insider Trading Club. Leave some for the rest of them.
He’s always baffled, the only thing that gets his full attention are little children. The fucking nonce.
Addled Terrorist Confused That People Who Have A History Of Not Negotiating With Terrorists, Isn’t Willing To Negotiate With Him.
FTFY.
This is a game of pigeon chess played entirely by pigeons.
If Trump and his cult make the slightest concession the Dems will fold immediately. Then both sides will knock over the remaining pieces and fly back to their flocks to claim victory.
Not just pigeons. Pigeons with diarrhea who have been shitting all over the pieces for years.
In his defense, I’m baffled too! Dems usually cave immediately.
I really hope this means they’re becoming a real opposition party.
“It’s their fault. Everything is their fault.”
A malignant narcissist’s mantra.
Well, sure, can’t blame him for that. After decades of the weakest appeasement shit imaginable, why wouldn’t he expect them to fold? It’s what every Democrat has done since Carter - without a single exception.
“Trump, he’s had it with these people, because he knows they’re playing politics”
The irony of that statement is so thick you can cut it into pieces.
Trump is as self-aware as a bar of soap.
Nobody has ever said “no” to him before
Not even his own daughter.
They did, he just didn’t listen. It’s the literal definition of the crime he’s convicted of.
