Republicans shutting down the government while blaming Democrats is like setting your own house on fire and then suing the fire department for being “too woke” to show up. And of course Trump thinks it’s fine—he’s never paid a bill in his life.
Ta, Marcie. None of this would have happened with a President Harris. None of it. Every Democrat and D-leaning independent who didn't vote for Kamala should suffer more than the rest of us, but won't. We reap what they sowed.
“your work has been piling up for you the whole time”
Welcome to life in the private sector, government workers! For years now, staffing has been so thin that when you go on vacation or otherwise miss work, the ONLY things that get done in your absence are what absolutely HAS to get done. All the rest of your work is piled up on your desk waiting for your return.
Even worse, what DID get done wasn’t documented, so you spend most of your first day back calling people to ask “Did someone take care of this for you?” and closing out paperwork.
I retired back in 2019, but I’m fairly certain this hasn’t changed much in the last half-dozen years. How about it, workers? Still getting fucked when you take time off?
This is one of those times we can all breathe a sigh of relief that there is a filibuster. As mush as I'd like to eliminate gridlock when the Ds control DC, can you imagine the hellscape the GOP would unleash needing only 51 senators?
NYT: At today's presser: "President Trump struggled to remember the name of Representative Hakeem Jeffries, the top Democrat in the House, who met with the president on Monday. Trump described Jeffries as a “very nice gentleman who I didn’t really know. You know who I’m talking about.”"

Hey, kids!
You know who knows how to keep the government open?
Democrats.
You want your government up and running all the time?
Only vote for Democrats.
Ta, Marcie. None of this would have happened with a President Harris. None of it. Every Democrat and D-leaning independent who didn't vote for Kamala should suffer more than the rest of us, but won't. We reap what they sowed.
Hip hip fucking hurray…except the evil ones will keep doing evil shit.

Everything is understaffed. That is definitely not unique to the private sector.
Not everything. Upper management is never understaffed.

Good, shut down this disastrous shit show.
God I hate this.
Would a shutdown freeze ICE?
No, but a lot of them might get sick if they have to work with no pay.
Remember all the government shutdowns during Sleepy Joe Biden's term?
Somewhere Newt Gingrich is laughing while stroking his nasty shriveled dick trying to get a hard on!
Thx, I hate it
Smirking chimp Johnson?
Seriously?
Dude, that one hurt.
This stuff The President posts on his social media network, is highly unusual!
Wizard Weed, I stopped shooting that stuff up. I now put it in a hot crucible and snort the vapors!
I guess wacky tobacky would have been too stereotypical.
IF AMERICA AND AMERICANS WERE TRULY EXCEPTIONAL...
Sir would be in a cell.
Calling Jake Tapper!
