Republican Speaker Mike Johnson predicted Monday the federal government shutdown may become the longest in history, saying he “won’t negotiate” with Democrats until they hit pause on their health care demands and reopen.

I honestly don’t understand how
Americans are this god damn stupid to realize Republicans are literally saying “fuck you, we won’t back down from you dying in the streets.”
How bad the Democrats are that they’re failing to capitalize on that message.
because republicans and establishment-dems are still on the same side, that of Big Business (and AIPAC).
these establishment politicians still believe things can “return to normal” (read, unsustainable ratfucking) after trump croaks, which…won’t happen, but as long as they still think it’s possibility they’ll why get in the way of the money printer?
The survey results that I’m seeing show that Americans do understand what’s happening and that Republicans are shooting themselves in the face. But there’s not an election happening tomorrow so it takes time.

63%/67% blame Trump/Republicans respectively.
63% also blamed Democrats for the shutdown.
63% also blamed Democrats… That’s just a failure of America and a indictment of Democratic leadership ineptitude in my opinion.
And they have short attention spans so it won’t even matter when it gets to an election
Ah yes the short attention spans conundrum. They’d almost need the administration in power to do/say absolutely crazy shit every single day…
That’s where the fish gallop comes in. There’s such a firehose of fucked up fuckery that no well-adjusted mind can keep track of it all!
Literally? At least that’d be doing something worthwhile for the American people.
Where’s Dick Cheney when you actually need him?
Well, you see, Republicans are such a terrible party that they make Democrats look like they’re worth voting for.
The Democrats love giving the Republicans rope to hang themselves, but this time they might have given them so much the rope is touching the floor.
