“Trump, he’s had it with these people, because he knows they’re playing politics,” said the second person. “Nobody thought it was going to last this long.”

Trump and his top aides thought that unpaid federal workers, closed and limited federal facilities and threats of ever-more job cuts from Russ Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, would be too much for Democrats to handle

“I don’t know what’s wrong with them,” he said of Democrats Friday. “They’ve never done a thing like this. They’ve become crazed lunatics. All they have to do is say, ‘Let’s go. Let’s open up our country.’ And everything snaps back into shape. So there’s something wrong with them... It’s their fault. Everything is their fault. It’s so easily solved.”

"They've become crazed lunatics."

Does anyone remember when McConnel broke the Congress and drove it into as much of a dead standstill as possible, during basically all of Obama"s first term?

The Dems grow an iota of a backbone at the actual last possible fucking moment, to attempt to run the clock on an actual fascist takeover, by a convicted felon con artist rapist pedophile treasonous demented fat fuck...

And now the Republicans call this 'lunacy.'

Its maybe 5% of what the Reps did during Obama's first term, in terms of actual political obstructionism.

These racist idiot fucks truly cannot fathom anything other than lying, and naked force and oppression, and they appear to be actually baffled by even the idea that anyone could use a very, very mild version of their own tactics against them.

They truly have no conception of nor capacity to actually negotiate anything.

Their idea of negotiation is dictation from a position of overwhelming superiority, and then every underhanded lie, dirty trick and obfuscation possible to ensure they have that overwhelming superiority.

Beat the shit out of your bullies, kids, otherwise they grow up to be Republican politicians.

Aim for the jaw, pretty hard to be a public speaking figure if they physically can't speak.

I mean is LAMF for the voters , but not for the political party. Federal spending is being slashed. Federal handouts are stopped and the ACA is ending without an inconvenient vote; all while making Epstein a long forgotten memory. This shutdown is exactly what the party wanted, they just wish it was permanent.
