trump should do a reverse big willy and THANK schumer for not accepting the spending bill, and announce that we will be doing an extended government shutdown as part of the doge project, inspired by chuck

Proles and swing voters care. The GOP paid dearly after Gingrich shut down the government in '95.

what even happens during a government shutdown?

payments to deep state contractors and ngos stop? good

immigration processing stops? good

regulatory agencies shut down? good

entitlements stop? good, and trump can just say it's libs' fault

national parks close? trump should invite private companies to run them and keep the revenue, and then probably make that a permanent policy

Yeah, but proles will panic and the media will encourage it. It happened under Obama, too.

i get that it's an opportunity for the opposition party to take pot shots on cnn but is there actually any real-world impact on proles who don't work in government? i assume most entitlements are actually not affected. if there's no real impact trump should be working on the perception, he's changed many people's attitudes towards various things in government and public life that we never thought we would have seen in our lifetimes.

I'd be OK with that, especially if we just split the country up and form 2 new countries.

isn't this just an end-run around the constitutional process for doing budgets, coupled with the fact that Dems and MSM realized that this new process is good for libs?

seriously, trump should warn dems that he will use any government shutdown as a gift from dems to send bureaucrats home and to unleash doge onto their agencies with unrelenting force and without oversight while they're away

"two-buck chuck and crazy nancy are demanding that any future spending bill include funding for unlimited trans surgeries for detained illegals in ICE detention centers and another $5 trillion for their new forever war in ukraine. they obviously don't want to negotiate in good faith - they just want you, THE PEOPLE, to suffer, and to blame it on me! sorry chuck, this one's on you! the bill is on your desk, sign it or don't! and while your bureaucrats are home drinking chardonnay we'll use doge to find all their fraud."
