Republicans don’t need a single democratic vote to fund their regime. Here’s why. Please share widely.

I sure hope you’re right because about day 45 of the govt being shut down, shit is gonna come unglued! So many people won’t have money for groceries, let alone rent. They’ll riot, and he’ll call martial law. I can see this playing out. Millers grand plan.

Yeah, but the assumption here is that the 🍊💩 is either ousted or💀, to get to Vance. Beyond that, Vance doesn’t have the cult following 🍊💩 has, so I don’t think things will go the way they are now when 🍊💩 is out of the🏛️.

Most voters don't care about filibuster rules and/or have absolutely no idea what a filibuster is. The Republicans CAN pass the CR with 51 votes, but they haven't changed the rules to do so. So your premise is false. The Republicans at this moment require democratic votes to pass the CR.

I agree, were not hearing all the details story. If the Republicans could bypass the filibuster as they did just recently why haven't they. They could bypass the filibuster and pass the CR than thumb their noses at the Dems. But they haven't. Theres more to this story

oh it's worse than even what you are explaining Trump owns the fed one way or another come July 2026 Fed can be ordered to buy assets once that happens, Congress isn't needed for funding remember, capitalism doesn't need democracy, they aren't going to fight for it, look at Singapore as example

The Dump absolutely MUST lie. Shutting HIS government down can only be mostly good. Remember, when this POS says a thing, the opposite is usually the truth. Expect Dems to realize they MUST start messaging about WHO is in charge and decided on a shutdown.

Democrat things? Like clean air, clean water, national parks, healthcare, affordable groceries, help after natural disasters, a stable economy, unbiased data and science, national security, etc.. You know, democrat things.

It wasn't COVID. It's Trump. He is the disease. He took the Obama economy (the longest economic expansion in US history) & destroyed it. In 2021, Trump left office with the worst jobs record in modern times, & almost 25% of national debt in our entire history. One reason, tax cuts for top 1%. Greed

talking points should be no democratic votes without democratic involvement in the process no democratic votes to gut medicare a vote for the cr is a vote to gut medicare republicans control the house, the senate the white house it only takes 50 votes to end filibuster

What Trump is going to end up getting rid of is The United States Of America. The Union will not survive this Administration. I don't know when, but these 50 states (and our possessions) will eventually shuck off the DC government, split into new nations, and look more like ex-Yugoslavia or the EU.

I'm speculating it will make somewhere between 5 and 10 nations (not 2), depending on which states band together with each other, and none of them giving a shit about the others. In fact, I would expect early trade and mutual recognition negotiations. It could be one of these maps:

What kind of president says “..they want transgender for everybody?” A free iPhone? Maybe. A free 75 inch OLED television? Maybe. An extra week of vacation? Maybe The unreacted release of the Epstein files? Absolutely. Literally no democrat wants “transgender for everybody.” None.

Sorry people, we’re taking all those democratic things away. He doesn’t understand the difference between democratic things and things Democrats are requesting. People seeking asylum bs those from an asylum. Applying for visas vs applying for a Visa. Just a regular day of threats.

The Republican agenda is 'Unaffordable Healthcare'. They are in favor of medical bankruptcies. He essentially just said it. Democrats are on the polar opposite of this issue. People should know this when they pull the lever on Election Day.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CALL HIS BLUFF agree to his terms, but add one condition. Release the epstein files. Why cant we play smart and dirty like they do? We need new leadership that is ready to tell oligarch donors to go fuck themselves when it comes to compromising our Democ and were taking names.

How are Dems fighting this? They need LOUD, raucous, ridiculous, funny, angry, attention-getting moments to be on media EVERYWHERE. The message needs to be how this is all Trump's fault and he wants nothing for the American people. No cowards, no compromise.

He is going to keep this going because of the things he can get rid of that are “democrat things” such as “open borders” and “freedom” He thinks he’s such a savior “I have to do that for the country!” He will call martial law when people get really angry. I give it til the 45th day of the shutdown.

May this man grow boils that cannot be cured. May the flies of a thousand camels swarm his genitals. May his sweat draw ants, and may they never stop biting. May he walk forever in sandals that betray him. May his sons forget his name, and his daughters curse him. I need more curses.

Things trump wants to get rid of: -healthcare -the Constitution -decency -human rights -Medicare -Medicaid -social security -entitlements -illegal immigrants -legal immigrants -minorities -democrats -laws against bribery kickbacks & crony capitalism -votes -voters -democracy

Democrat things, like caring for OUR Country, OUR Freedoms, OUR Welfare as a people, OUR very Lives! Those who voted for him were deceived, or they think that tyranny over them will excuse anything and everything they want to do to gain more Power and Money for themselves at everyone else's expense!

And another thing to contemplate ... a 'lib' mega-donor could finance a recount of the paper ballots in several of the swing states (even just partial/several counties) that had DEM 'down-ticket' wins, but blank on the President level race! Especially those that voted straight DEM party on them!

What’s absolutely astounding and incomprehensible to a non-American like me is how a country can have this state of affairs on the regular. It seems, well, crazy. My country, the UK, is very, very far from ideal but at least we know govt. won’t just shut down, causing damage to systems and people

welp, add that one to the evidence & messaging files. thanks, dipshit. the'll be able to see the merch bonfires from the international space station. p.s. how many times does he have to say dems want "transgender for all" before anyone in the media has the guts to ask what the fuck that means?!

I just think if people hurt enough, for some, politics won't matter. I prepped the day he got elected so I've done all I can and hope to ride the financial part out. The MAGAs I know are a lot more dependent on government largess than they realize, and the wealthy ones don't want lawlessness.

None of it makes sense. Nobody wants men in girls sports. We don’t want men around girls in a lot of situations. He seems to have a problem around girls (allegedly) and women (convicted). He keeps saying that because it’s on his old dirty mind. Just like Kegsbreath talks about men in dresses.

"Well, very simply, you have to get everybody in a room. You have to be a leader. The president has to lead. He's got to get… everybody else in a room, and they have to make a deal. Unfortunately, [the president] has never been a dealmaker.” - Donald Trump

Good point, Republicans only use the nuclear option when Trump orders them to do so! Trump WANTS a shutdown and Republicans are happy to accommodate him! THIS IS A REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN! 🤬🤬🤬

I hate the Democrat in me! I scream in my head to let them pass R's damn budget! R voters should suffer, suffer, suffer! To feel what happens under R's Regime Rule they chose. Live with the high costs & loss R's will impose But, Healthcare funding benefits all, so let's fight on. Shut it down!

I used this on FB about 1 hr ago when my Senator Raphael Warnock posted he would not support the bill and the repubs descended on my support. Funny how they got all silent and quit clapping back at me after I spoke of this. 🤔

Maybe “Blue States need to UNITE” and create an America that serves Democrats, Independents and all Americans who believe in Democracy and Democratic rule… Let Republicans and the Oligarchy rule over themselves and their resources… it’s no surprise that the most successful states are Blue states!

MAGA/GOP damage the economy knowing that they'll get voted out and the Democrats will fix it. Then voters get impatient and vote MAGA/GOP back in. And so the cycle goes, on and on. 😠

Why is this message not being broadcast all over? I’ve not seen anything except here. This is the message everyone needs to be posting! The shutdown was planned.

Trump & the Republicans are responsible for shutting down the government. They aren't even in session to deal with keeping the government going. Republicans DO YOUR JOB & STOP HIDING! #RepublicansGrowAPair

Except they will fire mass amounts of employees either way then be forced to beg them to come back because the idiots in charge realize they need them. The Dems need to wake the fuck up and start playing the same game as they are woefully out maneuvered at every turn and its embarrassing for all

Shutting down the government gives Trump almost unlimited power its exactly what he wants. SCOTUS just gave him control of the checkbook, with that and the Emergency Powers act a shutdown can give Trump exactly what he needs to declare himself King.

Like here's Mikies statement.. says they have "two choices" when they have three.. not an utter about the option the GOP has to change the rules: bsky.app/profile/miki...

Mikie Sherrill@mikiesherrill.bsky.social

Trump and the Republican majorities in Congress had a choice between: a) shutting the government down b) working with Democrats to lower costs and prevent health insurance premiums from skyrocketing.

Mainstream media doesn't cover Democratic press conferences. Every time someone confronts a democratic congressman member on the Thom hartmann show about not speaking up more, that Congress member can names multiple press conferences that they gave that did not get into the mainstream media.

This is what Schumer and Jeffries should be telling people. Instead they are playing tight into the Republicans' hands and lots of voters will believe they caused the shutdown

In short, GOP can dispense with 60 vote requirement in Senate to pass the funding bill and can fund government with simple majority 51 votes (Senate has 53 Republicans). They did the same thing 12 days ago to approve mass appointments by Trump.

Has the US ever lived through a time when the President and the Administration not only wanted to defeat the opposition but destroy them? Literally destroy - like take away their citizenship, their livelihood, their savings? What’s next? Jailing Democrats and Democratic NGOs?

He & the administration & the regime & the Gestapo have ALL been lying since well before the 1st round. What’s different this time is trump is surrounded by republicans who are yes men, yes women & who will do whatever it takes to make sure his ego is stroked. So shut it fucking down.

Has that "nuclear option" been used on a bill before? Seems like it's just for nominations. If they don't change that precedent they can still simply say they were blocked by the Dems, which seems to be their endgame anyway. Shut it down and let the reds piss off more voters who are paying attention

Time to seriously consider secession of blue states. The legacies of the civil war have never healed and it is difficult to consider healing the division between red and blue. Better to do this now and avoid civil war and deaths and destruction. Country is ungovernable

This is the Republicans. Before MAGA, it was the Tea Party. Before the Tea Party, it was the John Birch Society. Before the JBS, it was the America Firsters. The GOP has always been this. They just come up with a pithy name every few years.

Thank you for your voice and sharing with us the importance of getting the correct facts. Here’s my problem, where’s the Democrats and why aren’t we hearing this from them?

Summary: They are lying and they know they are lying and anyone who understands authoritarian regimes and loves democracy needs to wake the F up. (Thanks for all you do, Allison. You are a force.)
