Congress faces a Sept. 30 deadline to fund the government or risk a shutdown.
Hmmm, shutdown a non-functional government that you made non-functional? Seems like a you and your party problem.
I still think every time the government threatens a shutdown workers should start organizing to threaten a general strike. If the government saw union leaders organizing to strike once the government shuts down, they’d never let it shut down again. Exploit their weakness, if they want to stop governing, we should stop making the capital their owners desire.
Oh, this is actually really smart. Too bad basically all the media and social platforms are owned by oligarchs.
Too bad government workers can’t legally strike. That must be done by the unions.
Id wager most government workers wont need to strike during a government shutdown as most government jobs won’t be functioning during the shutdown, they could march with the unions easily. The cops will be the largest group of gov employees still working and we don’t wanna see them at the marches anyway.
The GOP should shut down.
“Why isn’t it functioning, JD?”
Why have a functioning car if you can’t go out and slash your own tires?
What the fuck kind of thinking…
I don’t believe a government shutdown ever occurred at least in recent decades without the majority of the population blaming Republicans. Thinking back particularly to the times Ted Cruz orchestrated them.
As third worlder the idea of shutting down a government is just crazy to me. I only heard of government shutdowns as a US thing. Any other countries do this?
The fact that they can even shut down as often as they do is honestly ridiculous. When I don’t do my fucking job I get fired.
Why even have a JD Vance if he’s broken and fucked couches?
Why fuck a couch, Couch fucker?
I agree, JD. I mean, why shouldn’t you kick yourself in the balls? Go on! Show those people! Do it!
It’s actually kind of smart for the presidential campaign to push for a government shutdown. Republicans will get blamed, but not Trump specifically.
And everyone looks bad in a shutdown to median voters. The immediate reaction is “just make a deal” which means Biden-Harris admin looks bad too…not as bad as Congressional Republicans but also bad, surely there are people who will (incorrectly) not think Voter ID laws are important enough for all this fuss either way.
Of course, the problem is that the Trump team are being too obvious with it so they WILL be blamed if it happens, now.
Same thing happened with the border bill…would have been genius if it failed without Trump meddling.
Could say the same thing for Vance’s brain
Welp, we’ve already seen plenty from these folks about how they would “lead”. No thanks.
Leave it to Vance to milk some more couch time.
