I heard a guy on TV saying these shutdowns occur under both Democrats and Republicans, but there hasn't been a shutdown when Dems were in control of all three branches since the 1970s under Carter.

The two parties are not the same.

So the American taxpayer eats it twice, once on tariffs and again on a second farm bailout. I’m glad farmers are getting help, no one should lose their farm, but it’s remarkable how fast “socialism” stops being a dirty word when the checks clear in red counties.

The media is complicit. They both sides everything. They never report the facts. For example the outright lies being told about Portland, they can’t even bring themselves to say No, Portland is Not burning down. It’s only “Drump says” and “Dems say”. Do you not have reporters in Portland with eyes?

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking

Trump: I’ll have to take a look at it.

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

Republicans only lie and cannot be trusted! If you think they will keep their word by passing the CR and then giving us healthcare, you are delusional. #Resist #TrumpShutdown

If you ever wondered what Republican “governance” looks like, this is it.

A government shutdown.
Federal workers who don’t get paid.
A President who golfs during a shutdown.
National guards and ICE deployed to attack and arrest Americans.
Millions of Americans losing their healthcare.
