Going out on a limb to say that those 100k "resignations" are most likely the DRP employees that are finally being separated as of 9/30/25.

Any word on the number of people who will die if Government is shut down...by Republicans of course.

Who will still get paid during a gov shutdown? DOD? VA? SS?

It couldn't have happened at worse time of the year as we are working on closing out the fiscal year.


Uhhhh hate to be the one to break it to you but the entire reason for the shutdown is that it's the end of the FY.

Shut it down, no pay except for military. No back pay either.

I'm fully aware of that. That said the end of the fiscal year was pushed out a couple of weeks because of Trump changing our performance plans. Don't get me wrong though, I won't complain about the time off.

I hope Trump starts firing people at 12:01am. I saw a video that he can fire almost 750,000 unessential employees and defund more left wing NGOs. Potentially gutting the progressive movement apparatus. We would have a budget surplus if this should happen. Someone needs to have the list ready to go.

Amazing enough for Trump to hold out signing anything they should agree to. The Dems have entered the FAFO point. I would do it if I were Trump. You got them on the chopping block - finish it.

I don't think that dog is going to hunt. The R House passed a clean funding bill. The R's in the Senate voted for the same and Trump would sign it.

The Dems own this one. They are the ones refusing to fund the government.

None of this matters on the big picture as the midterms are far too into the future for memories of this to weigh in.

Now, a warning to Rs not to try and play these games 12 months from now. Keep any debt ceiling / continuing resolution horse poopoo at least 6 months away from November 2026.

R's are going to get blamed for the shutdown no matter what. They always have. I'll be shocked if they don't. Don't really care about the facts of who has done what; that has never mattered before.

And the only people that are going to believe it are the people that hate them no matter what.

Everyone with common sense knows who is at fault.


The last election let me know that people aren't listening to the media or the spin nearly as much as they used to.

Poll put out to try to get the Republicans to give the Democrats everything they want.

And Morning Consult is one of the lower rated pollsters out there.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

So Fetterman says he is a Yes so we are now at 53? 54?

That parks this hard into the D column regarding the blame game.

Fettermans reasoning, as pointed out above Trump has a lot of opportunity to make changes and cuts during a shutdown (I am not familiar with the details on this). Fetterman speaks in plain terms that people understand, common people.

He's still against Trump but believe a shutdown will be a huge win for Trump.

10,000 died already today from Trump's mean Truth social posts about it according to figures from the Gaza Health Ministry.

Shut it down. I'm tired of illegals getting free benefits the rest of us US born citizens have to work and pay for.
