Let us hurt this amount of people or we will hurt even more is quite the strategy.

King Pedophile has proved that he will illegally divert available funds during the shutdown to pay for his personal priorities (military deployments against American citizens in cities, ICE, & Border Patrol). If he wanted to fund ATC, DOD civilians, and SNAP, it would get done. He clearly does not. Those who starve will starve while King Pedophile says, “Let them eat cake” & continues the construction of his $300 million vanity ballroom for himself.

There’s no reason to starve those on SNAP. There’s a whole contingency fund for SNAP specifically for when appropriations run short. Trump and co are deliberately not accessing it out of deliberate cruelty, not because they can’t. Just like they approved disaster relief for red states but denied it for blue states. Just like they delayed pandemic relief when it was primarily affecting blue states. In fact, the USDA deleted the specific language on their website saying how they have contingency funding and will continue paying during a shutdown just a couple days ago.
Jesus is disappointed in yall.
And I don’t what to see any shocked pickachu faces after this is finally over and you’re charged leave or not paid for the days you were on furlough, cause I nearly guarantee they’re going to try to do that. They’ve already signaled that intent.

Probably because he’s already doing Congress’s job for them by doing the little he’s already done in terms of paying certain federal employees. Kind of a joke that the president has to step in and handle certain appropriations so that at least SOME people can bring home a paycheck because the Dems that are supposed to handle this stuff want to put their agenda first.

Which individual said the following quote?
"If there is a shutdown ... I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He's the one that has to get people together."
Someone during a completely different government regime than we have now lol.
I mean damn, your party will carry on and filibuster uselessly for 8 whole hours just to delay a certain majority vote. And you want to act like they’re the ones who get shit done. 😂

You do know it was Trump who said that right? In 2013.
And Dems had a bill last week to pay all federal employees, furloughed or not, but republicans voted it down because it prevented any RIF’s.

Lmao brothers and sisters were fired in the 80’s in droves and you act like a few hours of leave being forfeited involuntarily is Armageddon.

wat? I am merely pointing out this administrations often and blatant disregard for the law, which quite clearly states we should be back paid, and that was signed into law by Trump himself.

Nope. It was someone who is currently the head of the government regime in power.

Decided to peek in after ignoring this member for ages... and holy shit am I reminded why. The most disingenous of arguments you can come up with to try to defend...
Person A: "don't be surprised when you get leave charged"
Person B: "you're talking like that'd be the end of the world"Da fuck? If that ain't gaslighting, it must be a mental deficiency. I'll give the benefit of the doubt it's the former.

Ok, thanks for admitting he has had the power to pay all FAA & DOD air traffic controllers this entire time and fucking CHOOSES not to do so. One individual has proven that he has the ABSOLUTE power to pay all of us without Congress even lifting a finger. I think I’ve made my point.

Hey, we’ve been told the Republicans will introduce their great alternative to Obamacare “IN 2 WEEKS” since Donald’s first term. Two weeks is always the magic number.
