That barely matters, the ruling party and the sitting president are always blamed for a shutdown, without exception.

 

So the longest shutdown in history was the Trump Shutdown. 

Yeah. But it really does make a difference. The Dems did this without care or concern for the people that would suffer because of it. Trump just stood his ground to their blackmail. It is his fault for not conceding? He is supposed to show strength and determination to make changes that will be better for the people. 

I am not saying the changes for this will be better. But it is his option to try. The Dems thoughcaused this to make him look bad. I hope it backfires on them.

  • How can the end of a shutdown, which was the longest ever in US history, and under a born loser as president, be considered a win when it ends?

  • Another stopgap federal funding bill is NOT and NEVER WILL be a "major win" regardless of what side of the House you squat in.

Clever move by the Democrats.  The 'rebels' who voted with the GOP are the sacrifice needed to reopen the government (none are standing in next years elections).  There's no way that the 'vote' on health care subsidies will go through, which is exactly what the Democrats want for next year's elections.  Prepare for a huge 'Blue wave' next year and then impeachment number 3.

The shutdown has not ended as the politicians in both houses have not voted yet.

 

When Trump "wins", the USA loses.

The Dems finally realized Trump would not be coerced by their tactics to get him to sign the bill the way they wanted.

The shutdownb was because the Dems would not back down on the Obamacare issue. The Dems caused this shutdown. Trump just did not back down to their demands about it. All the REP have been voting for ending the shutdown. 

Trump fell into the Dems' trap. :laugh:

 

The ACA premium subsidies issue has been now widely publicized.

Real class act from the fans.  Booing while President Trump was administering the Oath of Enlistment to the newest members of the armed forces.  I'm guessing you, and others on this forum, celebrated the disruption for these young men and women on a their special day.

Why? The shutdown was not their objective per se.

 

If the subsidies are eventually extended, it's a win.

 

If they are not, it will be a great political argument for the midterms. :smile:

Trump Scores Major Win As 40-Day Government Shutdown Ends

The U.S. government is set to reopen after 40 days of chaos, flight delays, and frozen food aid — marking a major political victory for Donald Trump and Senate Republicans.

 

After weeks of deadlock, Senate GOP leaders secured enough Democratic support to advance a House-passed stopgap bill, ending the longest shutdown in decades. The breakthrough comes after tense bipartisan talks led by Senators Angus King, Jeanne Shaheen, and Maggie Hassan, paving the way for a broader funding package later this week.

 

Under the deal, the Departments of Agriculture, Veterans Affairs, the FDA, and military construction projects will be funded for the full fiscal year, while the rest of the government will receive temporary funding through late January.

 

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R–S.D.) said the new legislation will be voted on Sunday, framing the end of the shutdown as a “responsible Republican solution” to Democratic obstruction. To win enough votes, Thune reportedly agreed to a December vote on extending Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, a key Democratic demand.

 

Democrats, however, were divided. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries slammed the deal, accusing Speaker Mike Johnson of giving Republicans a “seven-week taxpayer-funded vacation” while Americans suffered from delayed paychecks and halted SNAP benefits.

 

Despite the grumbling, the bill’s passage effectively hands Trump a narrative win, showing Republicans breaking the deadlock and “getting Washington working again” after weeks of gridlock.

 

Key Takeaways

  • U.S. government to reopen after a record 40-day shutdown, ending weeks of turmoil.

  • Trump and Senate Republicans claim victory after brokering a stopgap deal with Democrats.

  • Funding covers agriculture, veterans, FDA, and military construction, with temporary funding for other agencies until January.

Love reading the leftists trying to make the victory into something else for their mental health.

Well they certainly weren't booing the soldiers or the Armed Forces, they were booing the fact that Trump decided to grantstand at a public event, and they were just simply showing their displeasure with the wannabe king and circus clown. 

 

He is deeply despised by the vast majority of Americans.

Typical leftist hyperbole.  

Way to go Mr. President.

The people voted for you, to enact right wing policies, to replace the failed left wing ones..

And the left wing will still try to stop the better policies to be implemented.

Now is the time for families to take care of their own, instead of relying on government programs.

Nos is the time to reduce the size of the government, against the failing strength of democrats under left wing policies.

I was there, reduction of the bureaucracy always failed, because bureaucracy protects itself. The bigger it remains, the bigger the salaries at the top.

The people voted for a right wing government.

The left should step aside, and let the people see the results that they voted for....

Anytime somebody mentions something that comes somewhere close to reflecting truth about the huge level of unpopularity of the clown, and is of a negative nature, somebody comes along with their highly uncreative "leftist tripe statement". The world seems to be full of people who simply can't handle truth and reality.

The Democrats shut down the goverment for 40 days and got nothing.  Winning!!!!!

It's going to be difficult for Speaker Johnson to manufacture a new excuse why he cannot swear in the new Democrat Rep, the woman who will be the deciding vote on the release of the Epstein Files. The shutdown was the best thing that could happen to Trump re Epstein, but that's over now.

 

The Repubs tried hard to prevent this, even shutting down the government (though finding money for Trump to fly down south to cheat play golf, where he's already spent over $60 million of the US Taxpayers' money since 20 January playing golf), but now we'll see what actually comes out.

 

The Epstein Files are likely to haunt Trump until midterms, and coupled with the damage the Repubs are going to do to healthcare costs and premiums, Nov 2026 is going to be a Blue Tsunami.

 

A Dem majority House means Impeachment #3, which is probably why all those pardons of the lackeys who tried to overturn Trump's 2020 election loss were done, including the crazed Sidney Powell, she of the Hugo Chavez Resurrection to write code uploaded to an Italian satellite that altered the workings of Dominion Voting Machines.

 

Those pardons might come back to haunt Trump, too (unless he pardons himself), because a pardoned individual cannot claim the 5th and is obliged to answer any question put to them in court under oath. They CAN be charged with perjury if they lie under oath.

 

Now if the Dems also retake the Senate next year, and the impeachment heads there, conviction is likely. It's also likely enough Republican Senators will see the end of MAGA and choose their careers over loyalty to a dying brand, and vote to convict. Put McConnell, Murkowski and Collins in this camp, maybe even Thune.

The Dems, plus Repubs like Massie, get the Epstein Files. Once released, they will monopolize the media narrative for weeks, probably keeping Trump up all night rage Tweeting, which won't be good for his already rapidly declining health and mental (lack of) fitness.

 

Also, now it will be laid bare that Repubs want to take away healthcare and ratchet up premiums even on MAGAs. That won't play well next November.

 

WINNING!

 

8 Dems knew how to play a winning hand. A potential bonus is the Dems might be able to rid themselves of dead weight leaders like Schumer and Jeffries, and install a proper attack dog or two.

The eight dems were not playing 3D chess.  They are patriots who wanted to end the stupid shut that gained nothing for the Democrats.

Your version of the "truth" is your opinion to make your it seem likes it is the truth.  Hyperbole (extreme exaggeration or overstatement), is exactly what you posted:

 

"Well they certainly weren't booing the soldiers or the Armed Forces, they were booing the fact that Trump decided to grantstand (your misspelling, not mine) at a public event, and they were just simply showing their displeasure with the wannabe king and circus clown" - So how can you possibly know what they were thinking?  Your opinion obviously.

 

"He is deeply despised by the vast majority of Americans" - where is your proof, other that a leftist talking point.  

 

For example, hyperbole would be me saying "All liberals support illegal alien child rapists and murderers".  That would be an opinion without any facts....which is exactly what you posted

Now doesn't matter.  They own last week's elections, and, more importantly, are setting themselves to take back control of Congress in a year.

You're getting a bit hot under the collar and acting a bit thin-skinned over something very insignificant. How many posts on this forum do you think are not opinions, and when have I ever said that my opinions are always facts? 

 

Many of my posts are often satire, and one has to admit that Trump is the perfect target for satire.
