In a repeat of Trump 2.0?
We have a Budget problem generated internally by Republicans that could shut down the government and cost some of the very people that voted Trump and his sidekick Elon Musk….
Last time Trump fronted this?
It took 45 days….
Biden ‘s people are ALREADY making notifications for a partial government shutdown….
This could ace out the Trump promise to do ‘Mass Deportations’ on Jan. 21?
Democrats can NOW break a smile….
And watch the Grand ole Party politiocal knife fights among themselves…
The 2026 Midterm elections are LESS than 2 years away, eh?
Punchbowl News: “In some ways, this lame-duck drama is the best thing that happened to Democrats — although maybe not the country — since Election Day. A demoralized Democratic Party has been grappling over its failed campaign messaging, pointing fingers at President Joe Biden and wondering whether it can still connect with blue-collar Americans.”
“But after Wednesday’s CR implosion, Johnson and the House GOP Conference are in disarray, with the speaker facing questions over whether he can survive this debacle. Trump is threatening to primary Republicans who don’t vote for a debt-limit increase. And Democratic lawmakers are looking to hype up a rivalry between Trump and mega-billionaire Elon Musk, who spent all day trashing Johnson’s CR plan before the president-elect joined in as well.”

CNN: “The sabotaging of Johnson’s funding initiative triggered shock and confusion on Capitol Hill. But for many of Trump’s supporters and boosters in the conservative media who are anticipating massive cuts to federal programs, the mayhem is the point. Even if the impasse leads to a damaging government shutdown, that may represent progress for some since the government itself is viewed with disdain on the populist right. And by taking aim at the Washington status quo even before he takes the oath of office, Trump is doing exactly what he said he’d do on the campaign trail.”
“But the sudden imbroglio also highlighted one of the key issues facing Trump in his second term: If he wants to pass his tax cuts, push through his immigration overhauls, defend the country and leave a meaningful legacy, he will have to find some way to govern – even if that draws him into conflict with base voters and MAGA ideologues who seem happy to burn government to the ground.”
