The title of the OP indicates that Sapper blames the democrats for shutting down the government but the comments of the conservatives amongst us indicate to me that it’s the Republicans who actually want the government to fail.

Are conservatives the new purveyors of insurrectionary anarchism?

Democracy takes work, knowledge and understanding.

It seems as though they believe Congress should do whatever the prevailing sentiment is on some fake account on Musk Social.

I got nothing against being pro-USA, but it's not like it has to be US or them mentality. Being part of the bigger picture was what led the US into all the greatest allies. Not hitting other nations over the head and demonizing them.

It's like calling your grandmother an ugly bitch at the christmas dinner table. That may be true, but sometimes, the craft of diplomacy is what makes everyone better in the end. Think what you want, but making everyone uncomfortable is just how this narcissist works. He has to make everyone else, less to feel better about himself.

Dems have been trying to get deals done left and right throughout the year, and the latest was no different. Trump was just trying to get one last punch in after the bell to make Dems look bad- and his republican members told him to stuff it up his ass.

Trump has never been capable of forming his own opinions because he's fundamentally ignorant and very possibly illiterate.

He only reports what he's heard. From Leon!

I think House Republicans sent him a stronger message on the spending bill fiasco than the Democrats did. He's already clapping back at GOP members who blew up his (Leon's) replacement bill.

Trump would shut down the government for the third time because he's too ignorant to understand what it means.

As I indicated above, I'd love to have a part time gig that paid 174k, but they are legally limited on how much they can raise their pay...and they haven't had a raise since 2009. Just random rants almost completely based on falsehoods from social media.

They can have a pay raise when they balance the budget. They aren’t performing so why reward them for drawing breath.

I don't disagree, but why are you avoiding a FALSE statement fan boy made and was included in the first post? Elon LIED and he was blindly followed as evidenced by this thread. Are you going to believe everything you hear for the next 4 years??

Proof positive. Musk is far more dangerous than Twitler
