[Samori Toure]

They not releasing them files til the heavyweight names are dead.

They won't have any choice because at some point some of those fools in the DOJ would have to decide who is going to do prison time for Trump.

Not happening at all my man. They will ride this thing to the end.

I had a dream years ago the Baron Samedi took me a tour of the USA and I saw cities on fire. People were rioting..

I'm telling you if them SNAPS benefits not released they keeping the GOVT shutdown.

Trump will not ease up in this and as you see the Dems are letting the Republicans hang themselves with this shutdown.

Neither side has a bleeding heart for Americans and thus neither will fold.

I'd be shocked if we open up the GOVT in November. They staying closed til Spring 2025

I think the goal is to prevent the Epstein files from becoming public. The Democrats now have enough votes to get the files, but they can't get them if the House is closed down. The House is not even in session and it is not clear when or if they will ever meet again. On top of that MAGA Mike still refuses to swear in the new congresswoman from Arizona, whose vote will be used to acquire the Epstein file.

It really is just that petty. It’s also the reason Carriers are going to the Caribbean.

It is pretty obvious what is happening. That is also the reason Iraq was bombed and Los Angeles, D.C. and Chicago were invaded. They are trying to create diversions to prevent Trump's crap from becoming public.

I can’t believe people are estimating this goes on until next November when we get to vote on Midterms.

It really can happen which is crazy.

The official .gov site is crazy, giving the statistics and numbers of the damage this thing is doing AND blaming Democrats for it when it’s really Republicans/MAGA doing it:

Government Shutdown Clock

Track the imminent government shutdown as Democrats' demands risk federal services for millions. Americans don’t agree with Democrats’ actions.

www.whitehouse.gov

You know how crazy it is rubbing those numbers in people’s faces while knowing it’s you who’s causing it?

 

[The God Poster]

honestly, SNAP getting cut off on november 1st might be that thing. i can't remember americans getting directly impacted like that in a while

and republicans are about to find out just how many fat, white MAGA americans are really on welfare

From everything I’m seeing they’ll go into the stash to pay out November. They’d be foolish not to.

No only does it effect SNAP recipients but possibly other federal programs with ties to it. I fully expect an announcement SNAP benefits will be paid & them to frame it as if they’re saving the public from Dems

That's exactly what they're going to do and because Democrats can't message for shyt, it's gonna work.

Maaaan the folks I know who are still in are married so their households are still doing fine financially, but this shyt is crazy

Idk….. I think you are giving then too much credit. They seem perfectly fine being the bad guys

They don't need to convince/fool Californians tho. I agree with you that they're happy to be the bad guys, but that won't stop them from still lying to convince people in WV that Democrats withheld SNAP benefits from them. They know how gullible these people are and they're masters at the pivot. That's why they're lying about what's going on now.

True. Folks in WV get it. A lot of ppl lost their jobs when they shutdown all of those agencies in dc and across the country.
A lot of folks lost good govt jobs in WV, and a lot of ppl tried to stop DOGE from getting in the buildings.


Still, there are def a lot of Trump supporters all around this place.


Every damn day at work someone whispers about finding out some white person they’re cool with is a “Trumper”. Lmao I assume they all voted for him unless they expressly state they didn’t. And even then they’re probably lying that’s why I didn’t say one thing about the election when I got to work the next day. Lol I know the white folks who own my practice don’t like Trump, and that’s all that matters lol

This is why I'd never work for the government

And some federal judges blocked them from trying to fire furloughed people during this shutdown. No easier way to trim the workforce than making people quit cause they haven't gotten paid for months. They want this shyt to last.
