Republicans who make decisions that hurt struggling families need to understand that the public is watching. When election time comes, voters have the power to decide whether those leaders have truly represented them.
There is no more politician than Johnson who is so frivolous that when he is lying he smirks. A disgusting clown reveling in the demise of the American people or his little power games. Change is coming in November.
I wish the Republicans could feel even a fraction of the pain that struggling families are about to face during the holidays. When people can’t access food stamps… when parents are forced to choose between paying a utility bill or taking their child to the clinic… when families stand in endless lines for a simple bag of groceries just to put something on the table.
But they will never truly understand the reality that poor and working-class people go through day after day, year after year. They will never feel that fear, that humiliation, that heavy pressure of trying to survive in a system designed against you.
That’s why they can make these cold, careless decisions — these backroom deals and political games — without giving a damn about the lives they destroy. They do it with a smile, as if the suffering of others means nothing.
It hurts to watch people in power treat human beings like bargaining chips. It hurts to know they sleep comfortably at night while families suffer for choices they made.
And that pain… that pain is real. And it deserves to be heard.
Since DOGE exposed the Democrats for funneling billions of dollars behind Americans backs. They have now resorted to holding the Government hostage for $1.4 trillion dollars, using their old USAID plan sending money to NGO's and nonprofits. That is what this is all about. They do not care about Americans. They want money. How many overseas accounts? Corrupt Democrats in the Government.
Hardly… what’s really being voted on…?
CLOSE SANTUARY CITYS this is why they are demanding MILLION s for. Stop paying any wages to. Democrats
Also in the bill the republicans are trying to push through:
-removing regulations for oil and coal industries
-removing ability to regulate the crypto industry at all for 10 years
-massive tax breaks for the ultra wealthy, with cuts to infrastructure paying for it
-sale of over 25 million acres of national parks and forest to lumber and oil industry
The AMERICAN PEOPLE will only be pushed so far! If I remember correctly there was this guy in Germany with a funny little "mustache" that started out with an agenda in 1933 that that set forth a plan to Control The People's freedom.
👑 King DEMOCRATS SUCK
The Sign at the Forest Park said
“DON’T FEED THE BEARS, IT MIGHT MAKE THEM MORE DEPENDENT AND UNABLE TO FEED THEMSELVES” 🤔
but that’s how Democrats get Votes ‼️
We elect people to serve the people of the United States. Need to open the government, holding Americans hostage for your own special interests. Open the government now, the American people demand it.

#Speaker bring up this bill: "Stop all congressional paychecks until congress reopens."
Thank you democrats for improving the lives of millions of obese SNAP recipients and showing millions of non amaricans can't afford to live here without SNAP and might have to leave.
IMPEACHMENT SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON! HE NEGLECT AMERICA THAT DAMAGE THIS COUNTRY!
Oh no not the poor TSA "agents" 😢 Who's going to get paid to throw out my water bottle?
PLAYSCHOOL hammer
I hate to say it, but until people start being decent humans again, this bickering is going to continue on forever. If you wear a political color, and think you are saintly, you are wrong. Red or Blue.
In these times, what's needed is a reset.
It’s funny how some folks blame Democrats without realizing what’s actually on the line. The fight isn’t about politics — it’s about keeping healthcare subsidies, SNAP benefits, and basic social programs alive past November 1st. If the government reopens without those protections, millions will lose coverage or see their costs explode. Maybe learn what’s in the bill before pointing fingers.
Trump is evil. He needs to be removed asap. God help us all. Johnson is pitiful
All salary payments to the democrats as well as the republicans in congress must be stopped.
Stop lying
SHAME ON ALL YOU!! STANDING THERE
They are all getting paid they don't care
Mike Johnson is twisting the Lord's words to his own benefit That's just not the most evil demonic thing to do Don't be fool people
In Matthew 7:15, Jesus delivers a warning during the Sermon on the Mount: "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves". This verse is a direct reference to people who deceptively twist God's word, appearing harmless and trustworthy while secretly harboring destructive intentions.
The democrats party is getting paid for Hurting the Americans people
All of the ones responsible for the shutdown are causing suffering that is unexcusable.
I think Schumer wants to destroy America as badly as his predecessor, George Soros.
The ACA enhancement will expire on December 31 2025. A date the Dems set themselves!? Guess what!? It's just a matter of time and the insurance premium are going to increase anyway bc the Republicans are ok with the ACA expiring. So the throw people under the bus strategy is in vain is for nothing bc Dems don't have a leg to stand on. The Republicans have the upper hand in this dispute. Tell the Dems to open the budget and stop with saving the face at the American people expense. SCREAM!!! At this point I heard that the Dems used the phrase "leverage" all this is EXTORTION on the Dems behalf. STOP SCREAM!!!!
GRINDR BOY is delusional.
Which of those seven Democrats are going to cross the aisle and get the government reopen? Those five get honorable mentions. God bless america
Give the communist left NOTHING. Dont budge.
THEY’RE THE ONES CAUSING YOU THE PAIN AND DON’T EVER LET THEM FORGET IT!!!!
See that's where you are WRONG this administration and Government now then and yet to come don't give two sh@ about the working class. No morals, no dignity, just greed
The midterms will lose for hurting the Americans that love this country dem will be in the gutter once again.and I can't wait 🎉
Seems to me that the Republicans are the ones responsible for the shutdown. The control the executive, house and Senate and to a great degree the courts. Democrats ain't got nothing. Who's fault is it with a monopolization on power!?
This shutdown is not about budget, but is about the Epstein files. The shutdown is just a distraction!
MIKEY JOHNSON-
"THA THA THATS ALLLL FOLKS !!"⚠️🚨📢
Little Mikey Johnson the worm 🪱 is putting off Adelita swearing in, and now the Republican party
Has the government shutdown. There's got to be a reason for pushing these delays.
I know one is the release the Epstein files,!!!⚠️🚨📢
The other is the sudden destruction of the White House
And building of the arch,!
Republicans are responsible for this shutdown. Please don’t let health insurance premiums skyrocket. GOP is responsible for. Period.
The weak, big mouthed journalists could never be a law enforcement officer.
Democrats have wasteful spending. Urban blue states. Suburban middle-class workers are paying high taxes. It is unaffordable . They need to feed their families, too.
EPSTEIN! EPSTEIN! EPSTEIN!
THIS tRUMP SHUTDOWN SUCKS.
No one believes this guys BS.
Why don't you negotiate with them. Your hardlining is what's keeping the shut down going. You have a job to do and that's to work with everyone to come to a compromise on both ends Mike Johnson you have failed at your duties as a government official. Facts are facts it would be best for America if you give up your position to allow someone that would actually do the job to do the job
THANKS TO THE FEW DEMOCRATS THAT VOTED TO OPEN THE GOVERNMENT
