    1. Did someone challenge them to see how many times they could use “democrat” in a sentence?

    2. Ah we are back to the ‘hurl buckets of bullshit at the wall and hope something sticks despite reality’ tactic again.

    3. When you control the house, senate, executive branch and Supreme Court, knowing damn well you could end the filibuster and pass your bill without a single democrats vote, but you know it guts federal funding for Medicare and SNAP so hard that you desperately want a democrat to blame when it passes, so you can blame them for killing millions of elderly citizens, veterans, and people who need life saving medications and procedures, so you blame the democrats for not being able to blame the democrats for passing this bill, instead.

    4. I mean why vote for repubs. During Dem majorities if something goes wrong it’s the Dems fault. During repub majorities if something goes wrong… it’s the Dems fault.

    5. Are we just using the veil of ‘humor’ to spread the white house’s propaganda now? At least add another picture and make it a meme rather than just a Pic of the wh webpage.

      Compromise is a cornerstone of democracy. The GOP has control of the senate, house, and presidency… they refuse to negotiate and point a finger at the democrats like then petulant children they are.

      Wow. So you’re telling me Republicans control the The Oval Office, both chambers of Congress, and the Supreme Court and Democrats are still somehow thwarting them?

      Republicans must be some totally impotent and inept little bitches then. If they can’t get shit done even with the deck stacked so heavily in their favor.

      The party of personal responsibility: “This is all the democrats fault.”

      I know the cult is going to believe whatever he says no matter what, but I can’t help but wonder if the “I’m going to hold my nose and vote for him,” and “I just can’t vote democrat” and “I’m going to vote third party” and “I’m not going to vote at all” people – assholes all, for sure – I just wonder how many of them see through the bullshit and understand that it’s his fault in some meaningful way.

    11. Interesting to call holding out for healthcare subsidies to merely stay at the level they are now “sick political games.”

      No, sick political games would be a convicted felon spending half a billion dollars that were donated by billionaires who just don’t want to pay taxes to get himself re-elected, mainly by appeals to racism and faux Christianity, and then setting out to revise history and eliminate any evidence and documentation of the January 6th attempted coup perpetrated by said felon.

      Now that’s a sick political game.

    12. I honestly love this stuff. Keep telling your base how utterly pathetic and impotent you are, even when you hold all the cards.

      The United States of America will never be taken seriously again at this point I fear unless things drastically change in the next 6 months. Who’s the audience for this shit anymore?

    14. When was the last time a president actually tried dividing up his own people and created such chaos? This is just unreal. How do I opt out?

    15. “I can’t afford to buy [list Trump donors’ products].”

      See how donors feel when their income hopefully plummets. Their end game is probably to have the MAGA movement order them to be the single supplier to the entire US; I’m sure that would end the US the same way the Soviet Union ended.

      Want to know what a narcissist is actually doing? Listen what they are saying and invert the direction of where they are saying it. They always seem to blame others for their own actions and blow up when someone sticks them the with the truth.

    17. I thought that the shutdown was a delay tactic to avoid swearing in the Democratic representative (f) from Arizona.

      Supposedly the delay is to prevent her from being the 218th signature needed on the release of the complete Epstein Files to the public. Apparently there are a LOT of names in the files that could have grave repercussions should they become public.

    18. I worked for a major 3-letter USG agency for well over a decade. We had annual mandatory training about the Hatch Act where they hammered us on the penalties for promoting anything political as an official USG employee. Even wearing a red MAGA hat or “Hillary” pin at work would get you in serious hot water. That’s why seeing official WH posts like this are the epitome of hypocrisy.

    19. Where’s the House budget for this?

      They complain about debt and deficits, and debt.. but the GOP has been in control of the House since January 2023. The GOP fired Kevin McCarthy as Speaker for passing a continuing resolution in 2023. Mike Johnson has been Speaker since then. They passed another Continuing resolution in 2024 because it was a Presidential election year. In 2024 they denied knowing anything about Project 2025. But since taking office, Project 2025 has been Trumps whole playbook. And MAGA insists that’s what people voted for.

      But for 3 years the GOP has offered no budget. They aren’t addressing balancing the budget. They aren’t addressing cutting debt. They just pass CR’s and then let Trump spend anything he wants, however he wants, with zero accountability. And they cheer it on.

      I’m confused… Didn’t Donald Dump “win” the presidency? Don’t republicans control all three branches (plus judiciary) of government? Hasn’t it been 9 months since all this happened? Weren’t things going generally okay before all this happened? SO HOW THE FUCK IS THIS DEMOCRATS FAULT?! God damn republicans are fucking stupid. Every. Fucking. Time.

    21. Democrats wont let us destroy people’s ability to take care of themselves!

      Im still waiting for his miraculous so amazing best ever Healthcare plan.

      It’s only been a fucking decade.

      I hope we give huge fines to gop for hatch act violations. Like 100% of all wealth gained in bribes and other fraud during this admin

    23. The “Democrat Shutdown.” “Hey, we have all three branches of government but it’s the Democrats that are doing this.” /s

      Nobody’s buying it Donnie!!

    24. The Republican half of the House of Representatives has literally been on vacation for five weeks, and is still getting paid.

    25. “But Republicans need at least seven Democratic votes to pass any spending bill out of the Senate, where 60 votes are needed to advance most legislation in the 100-seat chamber.”

      This is a *lie by omission* because the Republicans can ditch the filibuster and vote their bills into existence with a simple majority. As the shutdown drags on, frustrated Republicans have already floated the idea of getting rid of the filibuster.

      “Maybe it’s time to think about the filibuster,” said Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio. “Let’s just vote with Republicans. We’ve got 52 Republicans. Let’s go, and let’s open the government.”

      ***Why Don’t Republicans Want to End Filibuster & Pass Bills By Simple Majority?***

      It’s simple. Fear of the future. The majority of Republicans strongly resist calls to eliminate the legislative filibuster, because it would dilute their power *if and when they are in the minority again.*

      Explanation [here](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/what-is-the-filibuster-and-why-does-trump-want-to-get-rid-of-it-during-the-shutdown).

    26. I just want republicans to remember this shit if / when the democrats take power again. No more “let’s move on” I want the dems to go scorched earth on their asses. Sick to death of this shit.

    27. “Waaaaah we don’t have control of our own government”
