He’s NOT gonna be happy about this, he’s gonna kick and scream and ask for their asses to be fired.

There’s really no way they can spin this positively for themselves.
Now the Republicans who did this look like traitors to Trump’s base and this guys days are numbered even though he made the right call, Trump and the base don’t get to pretend the Dems caused the shutdown, and Harris will keep gaining momentum while they keep floundering on basic shit like voting on budgets.

Donnie The Rump doesn’t hold public office. The fact that these shits listen to him at all right now is an insult to the American people. “American First” my ass.

>Congress has agreed a short-term deal
This is how they operate. In the short term.

Trump influence and dominance of the GOP slipping? Maybe concerns are moving to their own record and Congress continuance, rather than backing what seems like a losing horse.

Trump: break the economy so I can fix it!
Y’all listening undecideds and swing voters?

>Trump had sought to use the issue to highlight his claims that illegal migrants could end up on voting rolls in November, laying the ground to question the election result, echoing his claim that the 2020 vote was rigged. Trump urged congressional Republicans to shut down the government without “absolute assurances on election security”.
This pathetic person is nothing more than a national security risk and fear mongering degenerate. We deserve so much better than this

Republicans in Congress rightfully recognized, after the 5th or 6th or maybe 12th time they have tried to shut the government down for whatever ransom they demand at that moment, that the public would hold Republicans responsible for the consequences.

“Yeah but if we shut down the government, they’ll blame US for the government shutdown!”
No shit?

At some point republicans have to start worrying about the downballot races and abandon trump
ApolloX-2 on
So this is a bare bones extension, not full funding, which is also bad for government planning and projects but better than a shutdown.
Trump will be livid and threaten every Republican that votes for it, fortunately you only need 5 of them or the majority to abstain and Dems voting for it.
This probably just means the shutdown is pushed until after the election, cause if they lose they’ll want to do it.

Country before Party folks — anyone who doesn’t play by those rules is not a Patriot.
“I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

If stump was ahead in the polls, they would be jumping hurdles for him. But they are worried that if Harris/ Waltz wins, they will be out of a job so they are willing to work with the democrats now. We have all seen their true colors many, many times.
