General Political Fúckery Thread: 119th Congress - Resignations | Will Hakeem The Dream Become SOTH...?

And people can afford to pay double to quadruple their health care premiums?

If you're going to start something like this then finish it. If you won't finish it then don't start at all. This shutdown was pointless. It should have never happened.

The reason the republicans have the presidency, the supreme court, and congress is because when they start something they're getting their way period. If this situation was reversed they would have not caved in. You can't fight against a person that's willing to do whatever it takes to get their way when you simply aren't.

The reality is there is no fight to go on. The democrats have no way of getting anything from the republicans.

It can’t be overlooked that these premium subsidies were additional discounts that were in the Covid relief bill

People are going back to the pre Covid ACA premiums

Dems fought for them but they did not have any leverage and no one thinks temporary covid relief should continue to hold up people getting paid

Fresh off a victory over the pathetic dems, Trump takes his victory lap, threatening and belittling workers. Or as some would call it, Monday.

Dumbass really determined to snatch back and possible negative perception out of this situation.

 

[GhostoftheMan]

So when the republicans don’t comeback to negotiate the ACA, what will the dems messaging be?

"they did exactly what we thought they were going to do this whole time. which is why we let those eight votes go across the aisle."

You happy now @Robbie3000. SNAP is funded until next fall so Trump goofy azz can’t weaponize starving people. If they don’t come to an agreement by January, you’ll get your shutdown.

A bipartisan group of Senate Democrats and Republicans reached a deal to reopen the government after the longest shutdown in U.S. history, voting on the first procedural step on the measure.

The agreement would fund the government through Jan. 30 and include full-year funding for a trio of appropriations bills, including full funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, through Sept. 30, 2026, or the end of the fiscal year.

[Ozymandeas]

He has no political ideology or education. He doesn’t believe he is a mindless rube since he votes Dems only. There is no difference between their thinking and blindly voting republican thinking.

America has a problem with political ignorance, particularly among those who think they are more aware than they are.

Quote me next time you little hoe. It’s easy to be an anarchist when other people are starving and not getting paid. Not you. But other people making sacrifices You’re so goddamn blinded by your default factory setting to hate Democrats that you can’t understand they took away Trump’s ability to starve people. Dumbass.

 

[Rigby.]

You cannot compare America today to getting shoved in makeshift shower gas chamber, brutally murdered, then getting disposed of like an animal.

This is also like saying you think Dump is worse than slave masters and slave traders. He is a true PoS but chill

I’m not saying he’s done worse acts, because he can’t at this time do worse acts. I’m saying that I think he is a worse person. As bad as everything they did was, at least Germany and Hitler operated from some delusional revenge angle post WW1 disenfranchisement.

Trump and America being absolutely loaded while actively partaking in a similar genocide, terrorizing Hispanic citizens, seemingly lobbying for increased imperialism, and the acts they’ve done this year? It is worse to me from a motivation standpoint to commit the atrocities they have and will for the sakes of increasing personal profits and racial superiority. As you can probably tell, I only believe it will get worse for the US and Trump’s darkest desires from here. Hard not to when you have a cabinet with that guy, Peter Thiel’s fukkbuddy and Pete Hegseth as top dogs.

Silicon valley ro agrees with me that schumer is behind thos capitulation

I couldn't be in politics.

I'm a bytch

Yeah that computes

 

[Ozymandeas]

Imma bytch azz nikka who wanted Trump to collapse the government last year to teach Dems a lesson. Now this year, I’m complaining that Dems aren’t fighting enough to stop what I started.

Sounds about right

You really the Dems will shut down the government in January?

What’s to stop Trump from not paying SNAP?

What other government service will have the Dems too shook to hold the line?

Breh, if this was Game of Thrones, would you feel confident fighting besides Joffrey Schumer?

1) They’re not going to shut the government down from January to September. That’s enough runway to protect SNAP benefits. Unless Trump has another evil tactic up his sleeves, Republicans will have to vote to extend ACA subsidies.

2) If Republicans don’t extend the subsidies, we’ll be inside of a year to the midterms, and they’ll get eaten alive.

 

[Loose]

People talking about the midterms is nuts, we have a party full of DINOS who can't even use the leverage they have now, what benefit is it if they actually had power? We already saw them use rotating villains on BBB
