Or even regular left.

Yep. They might actually do something.

According to the very special imperial political spectrum created by the USA, they are leftists! Of course this has no bearing on reality, a perfect fit for our country the United Scammers and Assholes.

Do you know the way to Shell Beach?

Except a government shutdown doesn't shut down the entire government. It shuts down Congress and many executive agencies while expanding the powers of the president; and one of the heads of the executive branch, nominated by Trump, is one of the authors of Project 2025.

Schumer et al: "best we can do is write some sternly worded letters"

They need to shut it down AND call for a nationwide general strike. And then we don’t stop until every Republican has been removed from government, gerrymandering has been outlawed and fixed, and RCV is the law of the land.

They're going to let the shutdown happen but they're not going to point the blame where it needs to go. They're going to be spineless and let the Republicans blame them for the shutdown.

They absolutely have to shut it down. That said, if they lose the messaging game (they will) they will absolutely lose this fight.

That's exactly what Republicans want. They've already proven previously that the people don't actually care about a shutdown occurring. And that just lets t hem further reduce government expenses. The things that get shutdown are things they can't grift from anyway so they don't care about them.

Shutting it down would be giving him what he wants: expanded powers and no one to answer to (because the government is shut down).

Pots been boiling for years, the right just put a lock on the lid like a pressure cooker.

The other subtext is coloring Schumer and Jeffries as terrorists.

More evidence for the next Nuremberg trials.

They're going to do all that that anyway. Trying to argue that we should give them what they want because they might do bad things otherwise is a quite absurd position considering all the terrible and illegal things they've done already and helping them in their pursuits is exactly what the Democrats have been doing this entire time.

Everything left of themselves are radical to Facists. Alex Jones got a lot of leeway back in Bush days because people thought him being against Bush meant he was closer to center, but it was the opposite. Bush wasn't terrible enough for Jones.

Same with Fuentes and Kirk really; groypers attacked TPUSA mostly for not being racist enough to Jews.

The Chuck that comes crawling to "find a compromise". With Nazis.

Anyone left of "Shooting the homeless for sport" is a radical leftist.

It's the new woke.

I bet he'll even follow it up with a strongly worded letter with at least 3 very strong points addressed to whomever will pay attention to him.

It's called Propaganda.

I know that was Schumer's excuse last time, but I'm not sure that really adds up. The federal courts can still fund themselves for a few weeks after a shutdown. Also, the lower courts are slowing Trump down, but the Supreme Court is consistently ruling in his favor. If anything, he should want the courts to be running as quickly as possible so he can keep appealing and getting the Supreme Court to overturn all the restrictions the lower courts are placing on him.

Plus, while ICE is being designated an essential agency and ICE agents are expected to fulfill their full duties during a shutdown, they do it without pay (and get back-pay when the shutdown ends). That's not a big deal for a week, but if you stretch a shutdown out for a month, that starts to hurt. I'd like to see how loyal Trump's dogs are when they're not getting fed.

No pay for ICE et. Al.

Because all those precious checks and balances work right?

The judges are helping him push P2025...
