Nah, It's Y'all!











Every. Freaking. Time.

President Bill Clinton, President Barack Obama and President Donald J. Trump have headaches. The headaches are Republican lawmakers hell bent on driving the country into the ground. The Republicans love war, austerity, culture wars and giveaways to the elite.

Y'all voted for this.

Guess what?

Y'all gonna feel this, big time!

Americans blame Republicans for the latest political crisis. This latest government shutdown is different. Many Americans who rely on the federal government are now fucked. Given the uncertainty with the economy, Americans view the Golden Age of Trump to be a bunch of bullshit.

Republicans want to shed off the Affordable Care Act. The damn law was passed over 15 years ago. They vowed to repeal and replace Obamacare. Under a budget reconciliation, the Big Beautiful Bill was passed. 

The law will take affect in 2027 but funding for the 2025-26 fiscal year must happen.

Since Trump’s first chaotic term, Republicans have passed short term bills to keep the federal government open. Even with President Joe Biden, Republicans have nearly shutdown the government.

EVERY FREAKING TIME. The Republicans forced a short term budget for the fiscal year. They keep pushing for federal cuts to the safety net to keep the 2017 Jobs and Tax Cuts Act permanent.

The tax code is so fucked up. 

The continuation of military and financial aid to Israel is fucked up. Israel gets $3.8 billion with additional funds every year. It has to end.

Republicans also delayed the swearing in of Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) because she vowed to release the Epstein files. The Democrats are not accepting these things.

Republicans are blamed once again for the chaos in Washington, DC.


Democrats facing a civil war within their own party are demanding an end to support of Israel. They demand Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer stop being a bunch of pussies. 

The Democrats demand that Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, Tim Walz, Pete Buttigieg and any 2028 potential candidate stop backing Israel.

The Democrats want an end to Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillabrand, John Fetterman, Ritchie Torres, Wesley Bell and any AIPAC backed candidates. They are tired of Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema and Fetterman stalling progressive agendas and siding with Republicans.

Democrats want a fight.

Republicans resort to dog whistles yet again. They claim the Democrats want to keep the government closed because they "want to give free health care to illegal immigrants."

This is Hamas all over again for me. You say it so many times, hoping this will stick in the minds of voters. In reality, we are the only country in the world where if you get a medical bill, it could bankrupt you. 

White elites can travel to Mexico, Canada, China or other nations to get affordable health care.

The rest of us, work. We fear that a medical emergency could put us in debt or make us homeless. Those who can't afford insurance still get medical treatment and we the taxpayer foot the bill.

We should have the federal government pay for healthcare coverage. Instead of funding wars and a fucking genocide, the federal government could help its citizens.


Republicans adjourned until Oct. 13. So to inflict more pain on federal workers and constituents, Congress takes off for vacation for the Columbus Day (Indigenous Honor). They will also return to honor white nationalist Charlie Kirk's birthday (George Floyd honorary birthday).

A Washington Post poll conducted on Oct. 1, the first day of the shutdown, found that 47% of U.S. adults blame Trump and Republicans in Congress, while 30% blame Democrats and 23% said they're not sure.

The survey found that independents blamed Trump and Republicans over Democrats by a wide margin of 50% to 22%. And one-third of Republicans were either unsure who to blame (25%) or blamed their party (8%).

A New York Times/Siena poll taken in late September found that blaming both sides equally for a shutdown was the most popular answer, chosen by 33% of registered voters. Another 26% would blame Trump and Republicans, while 19% would blame Democrats, and 21% said they hadn't heard enough to say.

A poll by Marist, PBS News and NPR in late September found that 38% would blame Republicans, while 27% said they'd blame Democrats. Another 31% said they'd blame both parties equally, and 5% said they'd blame neither or were unsure who was at fault.

The Golden Age. Endless chaos in the United States by a former reality television star turned politician.

In a Morning Consult poll taken in late September, 45% of registered voters said they'd blame Republicans in Congress for a shutdown, while 32% said they'd blame Democrats. Another 16% had no opinion, while 7% chose "other." Independents blamed Republicans over Democrats by a margin of 41% to 24%.

The shutdown began at 12:01 a.m. on Oct. 1 after Congress and Trump failed to reach a deal to fund the government. Republicans control the White House and both chambers of Congress, but they need 60 votes in the Senate to pass a funding bill, and they only control 53 seats. That means they need Democratic votes on any measure to reopen the government.

In exchange for their votes, Democrats have demanded an extension of expiring Affordable Care Act funds, a repeal of the Medicaid cuts and changes in Trump's "big, beautiful bill" and assurances that Trump won't unilaterally withhold money directed by Congress in a government funding law as his administration has done a handful of times in recent months.

Republicans say they won't grant any concessions to Democrats simply to keep the government open. They're willing to negotiate on the expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies, which will cause health insurance premiums to skyrocket if they are not renewed — but only once the government is funded, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said. Many GOP lawmakers want the subsidies to end entirely, however.

Polling on the health care subsidies is sparse at the moment, but the Washington Post survey found that 71% of U.S. adults want the ACA subsidies to be extended, while 29% said they should expire on schedule at the end of this year.

Both parties appear dug in on the shutdown. A clear majority of poll respondents who want to extend the subsidies said Congress should demand that extension, even if it forces the shutdown to drag on, while a clear majority of those who want the subsidies to expire also wanted their side to stick to that demand, even if it prolongs a shutdown.
