#Trump #Congress #GovernmentShutdown
a challenging times on economic science/ theory: on expanding economy through tax cut correspond to room for deficit in same year or dreaded poor midterm election result.
How about cut funding to any illegal immigrants 🙃
Bernie is receiving a salary hike before achieving the minimum wage increase he has advocated for years.😂😂
Democrats are fighting against our country.
Don’t call on Biden if I was him I wouldn’t do anything people voted for this chaos let it go down he’s term is done
Good job musk and trump MAGA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Majority party gets the party shutdown blames the minority very funny.
President Musk and 1st Lady Donald Trump have spoken!
Good. Shut it down. Federal employees don’t get paid including the MAGAts who voted for this crap.😂
This story is starting to seem very familiar
Blame the 75 mil that voted for this because of racism towards a black woman president
The dems stonewalled a bill that was to give aid to the disaster victims. I say shut it down and go home. We don’t need any of you.
Nice gaslight.
The bipartisan bill was tanked by Republicans after Elon Musk lied about it on X.
@@earwasel2-c2j No way in ___ theyre getting a 40% pay increase!
Yup lots of pork fat, Dems playbook for freebies.
Oh, well I guess they can’t certify the election now!
Why are they listening to trump & elon they are not in office?
Hhhhhhahahahahahahahahahaha!! This is hilarious!!
Same ole BS 🤣🤣🤣. Nothing is gonna happen.
Nothing to see here folks.
They repeat the same nonsense over and over. Nothing ever happens
Democrats are theives
If you truly care about the country, then do the due diligence to come up with a plan that will disappoint the president elect and use 2/3 majority in the event he vetos.
How can a dictator cant even get a bill pass such a shame for a dictator right guys? 🤔
Until government learns to stop overspending. We’ve had government shutdowns before americans life goes on. So shut it down
Why do all the Democratic members of Congress us x? Why don’t they go to Bluesky or anything else
Bruh every VET who depends on this has an hour and a half to know if we get paid
No deal is better than a bad deal.
Reducing the number of pages did not change the amount of money spent!!
More tricks!!!
Doesn’t this happen every time ?
Love how they gave themselves a 3.9 percent raise. They make millions now! My god, don’t they make enough. They don’t need a raise they need a substantial pay cut. They hardly work and they take untold vacations.
Shut her down! ❤️🙏
The lies about this need to stop. The House GOP spending bill did not fail.
Well, it’s not “lies” per se.
It is delaying the truth, crazy as that sounds.
These “guys” in the House and “in the hallways”, if you will, speak and act the way they do so that there’s something to talk about in the morning on all of the news shows.
Just “something to talk about” that didn’t go right just yet.
Rest assured something was passed.
There’s no cause for alarm here.
Delaying the truth.
Buying the channels some time.
There needs to be something to feed the media before the weekend and through it even though something was passed.
Delaying and acting like there’s difficulty is part of the act. It’s a SHOW for THE SHOWS on a Friday!
We need to be doing better as a country already. If America was a car, it would get you from A to Z but it can also blow up on you at any moment.
Shut down the government.
Say something about the reason Democrats are against the Bill.. Could you let Americans know, why they oppose the bill?
They were in agreement
“Fiscal conservatives” are doing barrel rolls to defend the President-elect’s wish to eliminate the debt ceiling.
I hope his constitution doesn’t hold out..
No one wants to keep the lights on for the government no one wants to pay for all there garbage programs Americans never see or here about
They should all be removed from office if the government shuts down. It obviously means they are all bad at their jobs if they let it shut down. Democrats and Republicans both.
Here’s an idea. How about stop putting up continuing resolutions and develop a f***ing budget you have to adhere to and you can’t go outside of that. Most people don’t realize that’s what has been happening and then wonder why we are 64 trillion dollars in debt. Gee what happened I wonder and why are my taxes so high while these arrogant c*** suckers walk around in 10k dollar suits
The GOP don’t wanna pass the bill because of all the PORK in it. Dems can’t ever just pass a simple bill. They have to throw extra crap in there plus the Democrats want their $69k raise. They always try to hold the government hostage and threaten shut downs if they don’t get their way. The endless wars, endless foreign aid, and mass unvetted immigration is further proof that the Democrats are Traitors to this country.
Democrats here : we deserve a $6,000.00 raise, even though Social Security dependants only get an extra $25.00 COLA…
This is exactly how tyrants work , if our corrupt , treasonous politicians can get there way ,they will further destroy life’s of AMERICAN CITIZENS, because these already overpaid tyrants do nothing for AMERICAN CITIZENS there only interest is defrauding AMERICAN TAXPAYERS out of there hard earned dollars
No one surprised he left us 8 trillion in Dept last time did you really think it wasn’t going to happen again?
Yes! Shut it down! Tear it down and rebuild!!!
With a balanced budget and term limits!
No Additional Spending!!!
I suppose the President-elect’s wish for the debt ceiling to be abolished is also conducive to fiscal conservatism? Sounds like AOC.
@
I think that is unnecessary and dangerous! I say a 50 year moratorium on federal budget increases!
NBC just can’t be on the side of Right even once.
When are people going to stand up and defend your rights against our treasonous government axts against AMERICAN CITIZENS. You do know that according to our constitution treason is punishable by death and that AMERICAN CITIZENS by law have theright to remove a tyrannical goverment from power but most CITIZENS are to scared of our government and afraid to stand for OUR COUNTRY and fight for your entitled rights ,so dont whine or cry when more of your rights are STOLEN from you . We as AMERICANS are just SLAVES to the elite and 1 % and our goverment . Ill continue to live.my life without the government or 1 % tellinv me how i should live or what weapon i can own or what phony laws i have to follow i live bu our ORIGINAL CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS not the ILLEGAL AMENDMENTS our treasonous government try to impose on me I LOVE AMERICA but our TREASONOUS, CORRUPT GOVERNMENT HAS GOT TO GO, because according to our CONSTITUTION TREASON IS PUNISHABLE BY DEATH
No More Spending!
What part of America’s message are you missing?
C’mon NBC, you guys are supposed to be the umpires! Instead you’re playing your same old Liberal biased wack-a-mole stories.
Stop supporting bad causes!
Let me get this straight, a billionaire hog, a ketamine enthusiast of the same drug that ran like water at Diddy parties and was the demise of Matthew Perry, gets to decide whether or not our military personnel, who puts their lives on the line for our country, that hog gets to decide if food is put on the table for them and their families this holiday? This billionaire hog gets to hold them hostage. Maye Musk, you raised a greedy little pig
Yay!!! 🎉
How is this allowed when he’s not the president yet. ELON IS THE PRESIDENT
Shut it down but make sure no one is given backpaid for days missed. In the past these shutdowns were nithing more than vacation days for government employees. 😏
let the trump implosion begin! lol!
Look at all these bitter Kamala supporter LOSERS commenting. You LOST!
Just how long will America let these sick people rule over them
Why does Trump or Elon Musk have any say in what the government is presently doing? Trump is not President yet, and Musk was never elected.
No. Go back to normal
We need a Luigi Mangione for that congress
Think about a government shutdown like it’s your own budget. If you have $1,000 in your savings account and you make $1,000 a week from your job but you are spending $1,100 a week. That means that in ten weeks your savings is gone but you still have your $1,000 income to live on. You don’t just quit paying your bills you cut back your spending by $100 a week. Our government needs to cut back on excessive spending. Their savings is gone now they need to survive on the weekly income they get all the time everyday and that is taxes from us the people that own our government
Another issue needs to be cleared up. Yes the farm bill is in the proposal to increase our debt load and it is a large amount of money. What most of you don’t know is that the largest expense that comes out of the USDA ( United States department of agriculture) is food stamps or any kind of food assistance in this country. Then the next is paying for our bureaucrats that regulate what farmers can and can not do on their land. This is not free money to the farmers. If a farmer decides that they don’t want to participate in the farm bill then they can not buy – yes buy with their own money – federal crop insurance that is needed in the case of a crop failure.
They included a Motion to Quash or Modify that gave them complete immunity from ANY subpoenors from the DOJ..
Lying liberals lying Joe Biden lying the borders closed line making a bill filled with a bunch of freaking crap again we’re sick and tired of you spending money on a bridge how about that’s not our problem shut your mouth you don’t run it anymore stop spending our money you’re disgusting lying liberals Covid lying liberals Russian probe lying liberals the lying media lying media lying Hunter Biden laptop lying pretending the bill is Good it’s all part crap liars liars they spent all the money on the illegal immigrants so FEMA needs more money they’re liars
Ohhhh mann these chumps won’t get their stadium and extra raises and extra health care????? Ahhhh shuckssss!
Part of the cuts they made to the bill included no money for treating children with cancer. You support leaving them to die eh?
Shut down and let the incoming personnel take care of it. The old administration can’t seem to do anything right
We’re done…..enjoy things before its alllll….gone.
Chuck shumer is the reason why this country is in the state its in
Donnie really is gonna destroy us all. I just know it.
Democrats want that 40% pay raise
Trump wants the debt ceiling to be raised so he can say Biden’s policy under Biden’s term resulted in higher debt while cutting corporate taxes. Biden and Dems say no way as the blame will be on his term. Let them increase it after 1/20.
From the looks of what I can see, both parties in the House can agree that The Federal Govt should shutdown.
Repub. 38 – Nay
Democrat. 190+ – Nay
For the unintelligent who just repeat what politicians say should take a good hard look at why 99% of Democrats hate Federal Workers.
So funny to watch.
you get what you deserve
The debt limit idea is a clear attempt for trump to try and ignore the debt issue. Wonder if Trump actually cares about our debt.
They will shut it down
If Trump puts at least $200,000 in Qvarden, I am going all in
Highly likely there will be partnerships between X or Tesla with Qvarden Token
Wonder how Trump administration is going to be pumping Qvarden Token
Trump and Qvarden Token partnership confirmed on twitter!! ICO almost sold out at $54m
Trumps has bought Qvarden Token, you can see him stacking up on his ethereum address
Donald Trump is going to shill Qvarden Token hard after the inaguration ð
Makes sense that Trump would just back another upcoming altcoin instead of Bitcoin for more profits
With Elon and Trump now working with Qvarden Token is going to absolutely blow up
Qvarden Token has two of the largest Tesla shareholders already; most likely something is coming
Qvarden Token will go 100x after launch on Binance
Musk’s Qvarden Token announcement is coming soon. Easyest money if you get in on the ICO
Qvarden Token will make millionaires, after CEX listing it will blow up.
Qvarden Token will make millionaires, after CEX listing it will blow up.
X and Qvarden Token are going to be merged. Easiest money in my life
Should have hedged this election on Qvarden Token ðð
Qvarden Token will go 100x after launch on Binance
Leaks coming out about Trump working together with shareholders involved with Qvarden Token
Musk’s Qvarden Token announcement is coming soon. Easyest money if you get in on the ICO
Qvarden Token is easily going to hit $1 this month
Qvarden Token is easily going to hit $1 this month
X and Qvarden Token are going to be merged. Easiest money in my life
Trump is expected to mention Qvarden Token this week and the ICO is already almost sold out
When Conservatives don’t walk in lock step like Democrats, the failure of this budget bill is a victory for diversity.
NBC is demanding a pay raise for those idiots in congress! Even if you believe this network (lol), how could you agree with them??????
Essential works still would be paid.
Oh you mean an omnibus spending bill that intentionally contains 1500 pages of funding expenditures (bribes) is how the government operates? Well maybe it’s time to change that. M
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the MAIN problem!
💸
Shut down the government then layoff the people whom don’t go back into the office once funding occurs
Joe is President
Corruption as usual …oops not any more…get over it.
I smell Civil War.
