    “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.

    Former President Donald Trump, who has claimed that he would personally be able to end the Russia-Ukraine war “in 24 hours,” has demanded that Republicans “defund all aspects” of the government as the September 30 deadline fast approaches.

    You’re not president dude. You’re a traitor, a rapist, and about to have a bunch of felonies.

    You don’t get to demand shit.

    And hey, loser, you lost the election.

    And hey MAGA GOP, keep going down this rabbit hole and you may end up in prison too.

    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.

    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.

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