  1. We all know it’s the MAGATS. It’s becoming a threat to the Republic. They only want chaos and notoriety. Toddler caucus indeed.

  2. Government Shutt down or close the border? Republican's hold strong on Close border at all costs!!

  3. Quoting Nostradamus today is as meaningful as quoting the famous moron Trump…using the lie he told 2 minutes ago.
    None of it deals with truth of today, none of it leads us to a better place in our future.
    We'll have to do it, decide it ourselves…..and get it done today if we want any change to occur tomorrow!
    Republican's are trying to reconstruct the past, doing it now, all-day every-day to make themselves look less criminal. While they do nothing but tear our nation down.
    It's time Republican's get to work for America….and not Trump.

  4. Republican's are doing "nothing" for all American's!
    They weren't elected to save Trump from his criminal indictments!
    " Get off your azz Kevin and fund our nations government!"

  5. Joe needs more money to continue his assault on U.S. citizens and the taxpayers.

  6. The democrats are trying their best for a shutdown. And blame it on the republicans, and the corrupt news media will back them up.

  7. Why, pray tell me why, can they not agree on some spending cuts? Why is it that they want more spending than what was planned in July this year?

  8. Hmm, already back to the shutdown, get to the precipice, and then pull it at the last minute cycle again? I don't care, if you've been alive long enough you don't care either.

  9. The federal government doubles spending faster than we can blink. How much does it cost for 10 million uninvited, illegal immigrants? How much is Ukraine costing? …Shut the government down! Stop all this DEBT SPENDING! Balance the budget and stop using COVID spending.

  10. Democrats should use this in the 2023 elections.

  11. They. Ar Looking like like like fools

  12. Fake Republican, Kevin McCarthy will do whatever his Deep State handlers tell him to do.

  13. Shut down Congressional salaries!

  14. Why cant our government govern in good faith??? Can we just overturn Citizens United already because that case led to partisan gridlock being a thing unless you are a Hamptons baller

  15. I really wish some of these hackers would find a way to hack and keep Congress from getting paid while the government is shut down. That would solve the problem.😮😮😮😮

  16. gee – another budget year schedule and possible shut down. business as usual as congress can NEVER do their job….it's been like this for the past 40 years

  17. Chaos Chaos Chaos Chaos!!!!

  18. They have 1 job to do. If they cant do it, should they get paid?

  19. Remember when the president shut down the government! 😅

  20. I wonder how likely the shutdown is this time vs the last few looming shutdowns we have had.

  21. Shut it down F the government hunter is going to be a girlyman for 15 long and hard years

  22. Same crap different year..nothing ever changes because the GOP always wants to hold the country hostage to get their way

  23. They sent a pallet of $15 billion in cash to Ukraine to make sure all government employees salaries healthcare and pensions were all paid during the unwinnable proxy war with Russia. $700 per family in Maui and $1200 for citizens during the lockdown. Ukrainians get better benefits than the American tax payers The famously corrupt country of Ukraine.

  24. We could borrow $6 billion from Iran!

  25. You have got to be kidding me😡

  26. These clowns just don't stop. Meanwhile Americans are becoming homeless in droves. This administration has destroyed this country.

  27. Just a PR opportunity for the dems spending more money we don’t on their pork barrel schemes that only benefit them and simultaneously blaming republicans by saying they are cutting grandmas benefits… it’s a no win for the gop.

  28. Good shut it down. Screw the rich politicians

  29. This country is the laughing stock of the globe

  30. Lots of Russian bots in this comment section. A government shutdown is never good. Just look at how the US’s credit rating has been slashed.

  31. Congress should be the first to NOT GET PAID

  32. Republicans going to lose again vote donate to democrats gop sucks garbage trash move on already from trash garbage trump Republicans

  33. Shut it down, dock their pay. No reason to pay them for doing nothing. It's not like they'll read the bills any ways.

  34. Contrast the "reporting" on this to how the media reported on the last looming government shutdowns in 2022 and 2021. The liberal media could not be any more biased and corrupt.

  35. Shut it down and shut off their PAY as well 🤨

  36. …this time dont start back up!…

  37. It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.

    Thomas Jefferson

    You can’t tax baby boomers enough to pay their fair share.
