Jeffries dismissed the video in a social media response, saying "Bigotry will get you nowhere."
Really? From my perspective, bigotry can send you to the Presidency....
It's super effective.
Just imagine how well we could all be doing if we just treated each other like subhuman garbage.
I'm told by some that Biden should have staged a (successful) coup to prevent this.
Working as intended. Every federal employee and many, many contractors being held as pawns. How do government shutdowns benefit the working American? Please let me know. Is this what winning feels like?
Senate Democrats have refused to back the spending bill in an effort to force Republicans to negotiate on federal health care subsidies.
Naturally, this is all the Democrats fault for not letting the republicans steamroll them with their anti-American (and frankly, anti-human) policies. Great job, media.
I'm starting to think the American people put the wrong party in power.
Oh man, the Nazi machine won't have funding? Guess it's back to individual states for us.
Unfortunately, I think the parts they care about would continue as "essential" while the parts everyone else cares about would shut down.
Is that actually what this would mean?
There's provisions for various parts of the govt to continue.
Don't worry. Schumer will find a way to bloomberg out.
REALLY hoping the pushback of "What if we give trump everything he wants and ask him to let us vote on the ACA in a few months?" was large enough.
The people charged with coming to an agreement should lose their positions when they refuse to do their jobs.
They could pass a continuing bill that keeps things as they are. All agreed. Govt stays open.
Why wouldn't they do that instead of let the government shut down?
If only pragmatism could prevail, perhaps the elected could do the good work they promise the electorate.
First time?
Last minute breakthrough: Trump to be removed from office
They mean Ted Cruz is going to cool-aid man directly through half the members of Congress, like when A-train ran through Hughie's girlfriend in The Boys.
