Of course they're blaming the Democrats. And MAGA asks, "Well, what were the Democrats wearing?" to validate the victimization.
WE DID IT. WE STOPPED THE GOVERNMENT. IT'S A GREAT, GREAT SHUTDOWN. PLAY GOLF. GOOD FOR AMERICA.
And I'm sure they'll blame the Democrats for all the government employees they're going to fire.
why didn't they just try changing senate rules lmao, or just ignore the parliamentarian? are the fascists this incompetent?
So... ICE isn't getting paid right now?
The way it works is some people work regardless, like the military or ATC for example. Idk if ICE falls into a similar category but it wouldn't surprise me.
Anyone still working won't get paid right now but when the politicians are done with their games and the government is reactivated they'll get back pay...eventually.
with interest?
because that's what all your backed due payments are going to have.
Government shutdowns have been happening for years, they should just make it an official holiday week
Of course it’s also one of the biggest causes of “waste, fraud and abuse” in government. So far they have always paid people retroactively. They need to. But that means that congress screwing around not doing their job, causes millions of workers to sit at home doing nothing while still eventually getting paid.
I know this time they’re threatening permanent firings but they’ll always find something worse to threaten. It’s time to stand our ground.
If MAGAts care enough about depriving millions of healthcare, let them shut it down. If MAGAts care about illegal firings that will bog the government down in lawsuits for decades, let them shut it down. If MAGAts care enough about denying medical rights to any marginalized groups, let them shut it down. If MAGAts want to impose martial law, let them shut it down
probably part of the plan to let programs and agencies they couldn’t legislate away die by attrition.
A reminder that absolutely none of this shit would be happening if people just dropped their bullshit virtue signalling faux care for Palestine and voted for her.
Even Palestine and the rest of the Middle-East would be better off.
We knew this would be the case, but so many millions of leftists cared more about virtue signalling than reality.
