the administration miscalculated the Democrats’ will to keep the government closed

No, Democrats will isn't about being the government closed. It is the Democrat's will to stand up for affordable healthcare.

The Republicans, with majority control of all three branches of government, have proven themselves inept, incompetent, irresponsible and generally incapable of successfully governing? Surely this is just a one time thing and not part of a continuing cycle that has repeated itself numerous times through the lifespans of the same voters who elected them! /s

Donald Taco, overseer of the greatest longest biggest shutdown in US history. Congrats

Says the guy weaponizing the DOJ against his opponents right after accusing the other side of doing the same.

Hold the line until he’s dead

"frustrated"?! People are literally starving because of their greed, their ego, their complete lack of empathy

Frustrated they can’t just steamroll everything, the dems are forcing the republicans to own their shitty policy they are trying to get the dems to vote for.

“Trump, he’s had it with these people, because he knows they’re playing politics,”

Lmao.

Basic human rights is a hill to die on, and Republicans are trying to take everything away.

Who the hell can even support them anymore? They would have to be living in a bubble.

Oh well. Too bad about their frustrated expectations.

But I won't really be happy until justice is done, to each and every one of them, and everything that Trump has corrupted has been rooted out and rescinded.

My prediction is that it will end this week when federal ATC employees stop showing up for work, thus directly affecting the quality of life of republican lawmakers and their billionaire donors. That's exactly why the last "longest shutdown in history" ended too.

Starving people? Hardly an inconvenience to the ultra rich. Can't fly their private jet? One phone call to Trump and the shutdown is over that afternoon.

Trump lost the last shutdown in one of the most humiliating political defeats of his Presidency. Did he think this one would be different?

Democrats' plan: we'll pay half so you only have to spend all of your life savings on healthcare

Republicans' plan: die you fucking plebs

As this continues, I would highly recommend folks support their local food pantries as they are able. Cash is better, but there's nothing wrong with a food drive to collect cans from your neighbors. Some pantries also accept fresh produce, if you have some left from your garden this year.

No they aren't.

Three days tops.

the left

Lol.. Thae what now ? Jow about centre right.

What a rag

Who'd've guessed the Democrats would refuse to vote in favor of cutting health insurance subsidies for millions of poor Americans in order to fund tax breaks for billionaires?

One side wants to keep health insurance affordable for millions of hard working Americans, the other side is willing to starve children to keep that from happening.

they need democrats to cave, so they blame them. all REPUBLICANS need to do is remove the filibuster and push the shutdown to end anyways, of course its to prevent the release of epstein files.

Well, democrats are backed into a corner by a violent mob called the GOP. All they can do is wait it out and refuse to negotiate while the GOP voter base goes broke and gets angry. The hope is that the GOP mob goes after their GOP leaders and votes them all out, but that probably wont happen.
