"Oh no! The one thing that our bankroller Putin wanted stopped, will still happen!"

Fuck off Russian loving traitors.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the MAGA Reps are willngly trying to shut down the government solely to shut down Ukraine’s defenses in Russia’s invasion of their country. The fact that they’re acting so pissy about this lends credence to that theory.

I doubt it’s the only reason why, but I’m also sure it’s a big part of it.

[–] echoplex21 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah solely is a bit of a hyperbole but definitely significant .

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I mean… I get that it feels that way.

Russia is probably a large donor or something.

It was McCarthy who empowered this bunch. He just didn't look past getting the Speakership. He wanted the chair in the worse way, and he got it.

The fact that they can make exemptions like this just further proves this whole shutdown nonsense is all for show.

Why are republicans so afraid of russia? Can’t they just hide behind the democrats and let them do the actual work?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

These hardliners complaining about what gets funded during the shutdown and they are the ones causing the shutdown. Just don’t shutdown the goddamn government and people won’t be impacted.

Why do these shitsticks love sucking Putin's dick so much?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'd ask but all we'd hear is "glchglrglg"

“maga rages”. Yeah, what else is new?

[–] cabron_offsets 5 points 1 year ago

Fucking traitors. Disgusting republican filth.

Now announce all cases against Trump are also exempted from government shutdown. And get me some popcorn.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I hope the DoD also does the same for the Trump judgments. Leave them without anything to win, and they'll loose interest
