Yes it is

It's about hurting some of them

state of emergency incoming

the soldiers are already in place

How enthusiastic are ICE agents deployed to whereever going to be without a paycheck?

TACO

I’m quite confident Schumer will continue to display the backbone of a sea cucumber and capitulate with no meaningful opposition whatsoever.

I'd imagine "troops refusing orders because of lack of pay" is one of the first problems they've worked out with any shutdown

If there's one thing this country cares about, it's keeping the military industrial complex running

I honestly don't think he even knows what shutting down the government actually means. I'm betting he thinks it's just the poors not getting access to essential services, which he's probably fine with. I'm positive he doesn't realize that it cuts off literally every perk except for secret service that he gets as president. The entire White House staff will be sent home except for executives and unpaid interns.

Mass rapist demands human beings give up their rights just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Trump rounds trans people up into death camps

"another attempt to distract us from the Epstein files!"

Yeah I'm pretty positive that he himself was a trafficker. Not just a client. Also a lot of the girls are likely dead.

I bet that is what is being hidden. Because it's worse than what people think it is.

Maga is already ok with him being a pedo as long as it was girls.

So it has to be much worse than that.

It would bar federal funding from going to any hospital or medical facility that provides gender-affirming care, including HRT. Like a Hyde Amendment for trans healthcare. Basically, no medical facility that wants to take Medicaid or Medicare would be able to provide gender-affirming care. Oh, you’ve got an entire hospital? That’s nice, but you have a single endo who prescribes HRT, so no funding at all for you.

Thought this was gonna be a 2026 thing.

yes, but also maybe take the threat against trans people seriously? like, Trump just said he wants to ban trans healthcare. it seems like that should also be a big deal. saying that everything is a distraction from the Epstein files has become a distraction from some serious shit.

The other stuff is also bad–the fascism and stuff–but it might be useful here.

good to know the forced death of people like me is just a distraction to you.

It would be an insult to garbage.

I'm in one of those, fucked either way cases. If the government doesn't shut down, I lose my healthcare, if it does shut down I potentially lose my job since I work for the government.

He's trying to convince his very stupid followers this is a shutdown he started over transifa. They will overwhelmingly accept this.

Rapist, child rapist.

Diabolical sabotage...

Just now?? His third term and beyond aren't jokes. He never makes jokes that's not a veiled threat. The dude has such little empathy at his age that he isn't able to feign anything without revealing his real intentions.

Not for trans people. They are for white straight guys only 😤

Fingers crossed… up next, dei hired professionals all lose their license.

I wish it were that simple. But they passed that budget for ICE already, which funds them all year.

Things that help people? Yeah, those are what's gone.

That would require the democrats to act as an actual opposition party, which they have basically never done.

EDIT: I apologize, I must make a correction, the democrat party did act as an actual opposition party from approximately 1861 until the early 20th century, but I don't think anyone should cite that as a proud example.

Meaning he will spend Wednesday and Thursday on the toilet?
