Trump never even wanted to keep it open. Shutting it down keeps any new financial data from being submitted or processed. It keeps whistleblowers from being heard. He can ultimately grab more power, illegally obviously, but breaking the law hasn’t stopped him yet. I think this is going to be a long, painful shutdown.

As the non majority of neither the Senate, Congress, and the judicial branch, how on EARTH did the democrats shut the government down??

Trump said it in 2013.

The government can’t vote to release the Epstein files if there is no government!

I’ll still never understand with how easy it is to see the truth they still blatantly lie like this….then again there are people who truly believe the earth is flat 😮💨

All this to not release the Epstein files.
Jk it’s for a lot more reasons but I’m sure that’s one of them as well. They really are setting every room on fire, so hard to keep track of what’s more dangerous.

So I don’t have to pay taxes for the days the government is shut down right?

Be careful of negotiating with a terrorist that really just wants to shoot the hostages anyway. The Trump administration will declare everything except releasing the Epstein files as an essential service.

It is time for the dems to say, take this out place an apology and admit it was the Rep shutdown, and until this is done, they wont negotiate nothing.

Republicans have the presidency, senate and house. How is this the Democrat’s fault?

>when they talk about the government shutdown, they’re going to be talking about the president of the United States, who the president was at that time. They’re not going to be talking about who was the head of the House, the head the Senate, who’s running things in Washington. So I really think the pressure is on the president. – Donald Trump

Republicans have the majorities. They have the votes. Republican’s OWN THE SHUTDOWN

He’s literally claiming he’s weak. Despite Republicans holding the presidency, senate, house and judiciary, he’s saying it was the Democrats that shut down the government. In a way that gives us hope in that the opposition has power, if only it were true.

“A shutdown falls on the President’s lack of leadership. He can’t even control his own party and get people together in a room. A shutdown means the president is weak.”

Republican Politician’s out of control exemptions for billionaires are raising cost for Americans. What are people suppose to do? Just let everyone’s healthcare costs go up radically and let a bunch of Americans lose healthcare altogether? That would would be crazy.
If Republican Politicians don’t want to bring down costs for Americans that’s on the Republicans. Their fiscal irresponsibility is out of control.

Not only do Republicans control the Senate and the House, they also refused to even show up to pass the budget… but it’s somehow the Democrats fault
Can someone please make this make sense

Like everything from Trump and the pedophile protecting GOP, this is a lie.

The Republican party has just proved what an absolute disaster they are. They shouldn’t be in charge of making dinner reservations. And our criminal president needs to go. By a landslide, he’s been the worst president ever.

No. Republicans have shut down the government. They control the house, the senate, the presidency. They OWN it . Them saying it (ESPECIALLY them saying it!) doesn’t suddenly make it true.
They are so ugly and mean-spirited that they want the ACA provisions to expire. They WANT people to suffer, it’s their whole platform and their governance specialty. Keep reiterating loudly and often: the Republicans did this

The Hungry Hungry Hypocrite and the red sycophants control all 3 branches of govt. Democrats couldn’t do squat.
He wants chaos so he can say everything is broken and he’s the one to fix it, and therefore move to change the government to an authoritarian state.
I’ve seen it a thousand times…

But here in the land of reality, everyone is aware that it’s the Republicans who have shut down the government.

With apologies to everyone nearby, I need to nerd for a second.
It’s “shut down”, you illiterate fucks. The verb is “shut down’. “Shutdown” is a noun. The propoaganda you are trying to spread is “Democrats have _shut down_ the government.”
Also, give me a break. This isn’t even _good_ propaganda.

Republican run White House. Republican run House. Republican run Senate. Republican SCOTUS.
But yeah, it was those pesky Dems.
