Former President Trump urged Republicans to dig in as a shutdown looms over Washington, arguing Sunday that President Biden will take the blame if the federal government closes. Congress faces a Se…
Yes. Biden pushed the shutdown button he keeps next to the gas prices lever.
Do you think he has a different button for each Trump indictment, or just an all-in-one button?
It’s hard to know… are we talking about crafty and conniving Joe Biden? If so, it’s a whole console. Or are we talking about Sleepy Joe with dementia? In which case, it’s just one button and someone has to move his hand over it so he can press it.
Damn that senile Biden, he’s controlling everything with his senility/mastermind!
Trump presided over the LONGEST GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN A IN HISTORY. And his party controlled all three branches of government.
We all know the Republicans are 100 percent to blame for not having the basic competence to keep the lights on.
I feel like intent to undermine the functioning of the whole US government should be a crime
Does anyone else think the public is smart enough to blame the shutdown on the guy who keeps loudly pushing for a shutdown?
There’s a good chunk of the public that is unbelievably dumb, so they’ll give whatever cheato Mussolini tells them to believe.
Most of the public will blame the Republicans, but Trump and the Republicans don’t care about “most of the public.” They only care about their base.
Their base will definitely believe that the government shutdown is not the fault of the Republicans who refuse to accept any deal, but instead is the fault of the Democrats/Biden for just giving the Republicans 100% of what they demand.
At the same time, they’ll believe that the Republicans caused the shutdown, but that it’s a good thing that they did. Yes, it’s contradictory. No, they don’t care.
The base that will blame biden is in on the lie though. You can ask pointed questions like “so you believe biden vetoed it” or “why cant the house gop vote on a spending bill”. The ones that actually follow politics know enough not to sound stupid. They will keep side stepping the issue until the subject changes. They are disciplined.
He is right, average joe republicans will blame Biden for this, because they have to to protect their identities as republicans, that requires blind loyalty.
Maybe if republicans actually passed a stop gap or something, even if it’s bat shit insane. As of right now, it’s all Republican infighting. The question right now is whether it’s McCarthy or Matt Gaetz fault. Biden isn’t even in the picture right now, it’s not like Republicans can say Biden isn’t giving into their demands or whatever. There are no demands, it’s just Republican on Republican bickering.
