This is a lie, of course.
There was no debate or vote on any funding bill.
Mike Johnson literally just shut the government down to prevent the release of the Epstein files. Anyone that tells you otherwise is lying to you, full stop.
I would still consider the possibility he did it only due to a bribe, not enough intelligence to lead, DEI hire.
And Americans will believe them and keep voting red
The lies never stopped in American history. From the very first day it was a lie in the creation declaration that "all men are created equal" America is just a nation of lies and will forever be so.
They still celebrate Thanksgiving like it's not the beginning of a massive century-long genocide.
That a government site can be used so obviously for partisan propaganda is wild.
You ain't seen nothin yet! Go and study 1930s Germany. Before the war. Even before the invasions of other countries. Look how they used their government to cement nazi propaganda.
Now look at the USA today. Kinda feels like 1935 Germany I'd say. If that alone doesn't scare the shit out of you, then I redirect your attention back to studying, because you clearly missed everything to be gained by studying history.
History never repeats itself, but it often rhymes.
Exactly this. Everyone jumps to Germany invading countries and the Holocaust, but it all started with propaganda and control.
The US is following the playbook by the letter. The biggest difference between nascent Nazi Germany and the US today? We've had 80+ years to build up military power which we'll use to crush any who stand against us, while Germany was still fighting against crippling debt and hoping not to generate too much notice as they built up their military power. While the Nazi's had to coax, cajole, and bully the media into speaking or reporting on them favorably, this administration has managed to get the media to eagerly accede to demands that haven't been made. The government shuts down, President ~~Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho~~ Mayor McCheese will declare a state of emergency that includes the criminalization of the opposition party for causing the shutdown, then he'll cite whatever war Secretary ~~He~~Pronoun Removed-Man has started as the reason for a full martial law implementation and the military annexation of Canada for "Secure the Borders!". In this scenario US=Germany, Canada=Poland, and we just skip the Sudetenland and The Anschluss (though to the administration, they'll expect that the annexation of Canada will equate to The Anschluss) and go right to the need for "Lebensraum"
Hey now, President Camacho may not have been a terribly smart man, but he definitely wanted to get the smartest person in the room working on real problems to find real solutions. Don't drag his name by comparing him to Trump.
Fair point. I apologize to President Camacho.
We’re farther along masked men are “disappearing” people and they can’t be found. I’d say we’re moving much faster
Hopefully that means fascism crashes and burns twice as fast.
Remember, the nazis died because Hitler shot himself. But he only shot himself because the whole world was ready to do it for him. We put enough pressure that it was the only outcome either way.
Lets take that fight to the GOP. Not trump, the GOP. Because if trump is gone, some other pedophile asshole would be happy to take his place. Remember, as much as it feels like he is, trump isn't THE problem. He's just the current face of the problem.
It's currently breaking the law. The Hatch Act is supposed to prevent federal employees from participating in politics like this. Not that they care. Someone else in the thread mentioned repairing violations of the Hatch Act.
From elsewhere:
The Hatch Act, a federal law passed in 1939, limits certain political activities of federal employees, as well as some state, D.C., and local government employees who work in connection with federally funded programs. The law’s purposes are to ensure that federal programs are administered in a nonpartisan fashion, to protect federal employees from political coercion in the workplace, and to ensure that federal employees are advanced based on merit and not based on political affiliation.

Who is going to read it and would they actually do anything?
To this effect hasn't most of the UN nations voted to recognize Gaza as a nation state but because America is funding the war who gives a shit
Those complaints are going straight into a shredder.
This administration has been blatant about putting right wing allies into major positions of power in the government and basing decision-making on partisan politics in every branch, at every level of government.
Those that play ball are promoted, those that don't, like the CDC director, get replaced.
Rule one for fighting tyranny: do not obey in advance.
Not taking advantage of the legal protections at our disposal is to obey in advance.
Despair is easy. Fighting back is hard.
Hard agree.
I say make them and it then, keep sending
So, an official government channel is saying it's something else's fault.
Very mature and very professional.
Sadly trumps cult will believe this and react accordingly.
Jesus Christ America
I think most people didn’t believe this piece of treasonous shit would win after helping to foment the January 6 insurrection. And yet here we are.
There’s also this fundamental drive to roll back women’s lib bubbling beneath the surface which, apparently, is popular with young men.
I swear I'll never understand this mindset where young men think that 1) they'll automatically be assigned a woman that meets their specifications and 2) that will magically solve all their problems. It's such a juvenile way of looking at the world. It's why some women can't wait for sexbots so these chuds can be placated and leave us the fuck alone.
They don't want a partner, they want a sex toy.
The people orchestrating this shit have told us exactly what they want (Project 2025), and it includes women losing basic bodily autonomy, as well as the right to vote.
I think a lot of them know exactly what it means, and it's what they want.
Goodness.
Further down:
“God blessed us with this great nation, and together, we can increase self-sufficiency and empower Americans to climb the economic ladder toward a brighter future.”
- Secretary Scott Turner
Not much better if you ask me.
And OP wasn't kidding, the very same text comes up again as a pop-up after a while. And again whatever internal link I click. I have no words.
Fucking embarrassing.
They're basically telegraphing their next move. Anyone associated with left wing ideology might as well go to underground ops now.
Or start exercising their second amendment rights.
And non-US leftists should really reconsider using US technology that logs their data.
Fucking gross and embarrassing.
The radical left that the US has famously had at all since the fifties or something.
Fucking gross.
Organize the workers and agitate
ThE rAdIcAl LeFt DiD iT!
Something something ... Bully pulpit
At some point isn't this false messaging just liabel?
The "We and our 4.220 closest partners are using cookies to..." is missing.
Aw did the nasty dems play hardball? Aww. Poor ickle republicunts.
They didn't even get a chance to play hardball. There was no debate or vote on a funding bill at all.
Mike Johnson shut the government down to prevent the newly elected rep from New Mexico from being the final vote needed to force a discharge petition that would circumvent Johnson's stonewalling of the Epstein files being released.
