it's 100% intentional. break the entire government, so they can say "seeeee! it's broken!! we need to replace it with trump dictatorship!!!"
and privatize it all. It is redic how obious they are with this and that there are people out there who buy their bs. They literally had postal machines destroyed to try and make the usps not work. they kicked out one leg of obama care.
Louis DeJoy is the moles name. He's working for Republicans to destroy the USPS and is currently the Postmaster General. Post his name where you can, the more people that know his name the better. Fuck Louis DeJoy
unfortunately im bad with names. when I hear them I get the feeling of the association I have with them but its hard for me to call them up when needed. thank you though for bringing it. I need folks like you.
I'm not faulting you man. Just trying to get the name out there. It's rare that the bs goes directly back to one person but this is case it does. Removing DeJoy is essential and to get that done people need to know who he is.
And it'll work. Democrats will compromise, Republicans will be able to govern from the minority, the public will lose some vital public service to another round of budget cuts, and then we'll do this again in another few years. And it'll probably cost them, too. Just like Gingrich after '94 and McCarthy after '18, they'll end up squandering their position in both House and Senate. Democrats will come in with a mandate to make sure this never happens again.
And the Democrats will have an opportunity to change the rules of the game, so Republicans can't hold the government hostage indefinitely, and they'll... just not do it. They'll have the ability to stack the deck in their favor, with DC Statehood to claim two free Senate seats or an expansion of the number of House seats to dilute gerrymandering or just budgetary rules that automatically run continuing resolutions when Congress deadlocks, and they... won't. They'll have an opportunity to add new liberal judges to the courts, but they'll pass.
Then the 2026 midterms will suck. People will be angry. The majority party will get flushed out in a referendum on Government Generally, and the anti-government types will crawl back into Congress again. And we'll be back here again, shouting "VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO!" while the country falls another rung down into full blown fascism.
Incidentally, you are never going to see a liberal caucus shut down the government in Texas or Florida. They can do all the crazy ass shit they want down there, but god forbid anyone interrupt a budgetary motion.
Republicans:
breaks government
look at how broken our government is!
Republicans:
grabs a gun, shoots the govt
why would democrats do this?
rides bicycle, puts stick in wheel spokes
why would democrats do this?
Repeat ...
That's okay; their supporters also don't believe in the fundamental concept of progress.
You'd think that would be a requirement to hold office, but the desire to improve things is definitely not a requirement.
They've been on vacation for six weeks. When they return today, they have three weeks to provide government funding.
Yet again? Been like that for decades. Seems like a useless article. 🤷♂️
LOL, delivering for the American people? The cons are only there to work for the elites.
Republicans say the same exact thing about Democrats. And they're both right. Imagine that, common ground we could all get behind. But no, it's not those elites that are our enemies, it's definitely each other. The elite controlled corporate media I consume makes that very clear.
I wish I was a Republican Politician so I could get paid HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, even MILLIONS if you coun't Bribes, of Dollars for doing Literally Nothing but complain about Freeloaders. Unfortunately Democrats have to ACTUALLY Work 😣
