Summary
Donald Trump has rejected a bipartisan stopgap funding plan to prevent a government shutdown, calling for a slimmer bill and immediate action on raising the debt ceiling.
With funding set to expire in two days, Trump and JD Vance urged Republicans to “call Democrats’ bluff” on shutdown threats, warning GOP lawmakers of political consequences if they don’t align.
The bill, criticized for its add-ons, faces pushback from conservatives and some Democrats, while others warn that excluding disaster relief and other provisions could worsen the crisis.
This time he has made it clear that he’s for sale. He’s put oligarchs with grievances in charge of departments with the intention of dismantling those departments. None of this benefits the American people. The wealthy are going to destroy and loot and the people will suffer. This is how capitalism ends. The wealthy make their play and the people rise up and murder them and take their money back.
It’s a good thing The Wealthy don’t know that this is coming, otherwise they’d stir shit up and cause multiple wars around the globe that will eventually pull in every other nation, so that the people will start focusing on winning wars and not focusing on why we’re fighting them in the first place. I’d hate to see what would happen if The Wealthy knew what they were doing.
Ah, an optimist.
