Another Government Shutdown Thread

[WoodsmanVol]

This will bite them in the ass so fast. I think back to 2018 when they laughed at Trump when he told them they would be dependent on Russia for natural gas. This time will be much worse for them.

Trump created the situation that will push Europeans to drop sanction against Russia and buy Putin's gas to kill Ukraines.I'm sure Putin is thakful for his Russian asset in the White House.

Europe has been and will continue to fund Putins war in Ukraine, they never stopped buying Russian gas/oil.

Amnesty for illegals started under Ronald Reagan. Republicans have been in power umpteen times since and done nothing about it. Let's not ignore history.

Not ignoring. Didn't like it then either. But do you disagree with what I said ?

Europe has been buying Russian oil for the past several years now.

The EU leaders in Europe are like the left here. They will cut off their own nose just to spite Trump. I'm not sure there is any hope for them. If they had any sense, they would start to develop their own gas and oil reserves. Natural gas can be found almost anywhere. Of course, they would rather die than do that. Future generations that occupy Europe will be glad it was left untouched. They won't be Europeans though.

Won't make a difference. People don't have sense enough to live in peace. Let the aliens or an asteroid put an end to the whole thing.

You MAGA assume much as usual, I don't like the View. Bunch of hens clucking about stuff they don't really know about. But, nevermind, a MAGA gotta MAGA, you know.

So do you then agree that Europe has been buying a lot of Russian oil in the past several years WITHOUT Trump starting a war to force them to as Putin’s stooge?

Biden removed the sanctions on the pipeline that moves the product. That seems pretty putin puppet like . Kind of ironic that obama said gas needs to be 5$ a gallon , and now they are anti trump champions for lowering gas prices.

Obama: $5 Gas No Threat To National Security​

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — As gas prices in the Southland soar toward the $5 mark, the White House says it's time for the U.S. to kick the fossil fuel habit — but it won't tap the nation's oil reserves to ease withdrawal pains.

And now they see Trump doing what numerous democrat leaders have said they would do but lacked the fortitude to do.

I had some down time in Thursday and I tuned into the View. OMG that is the dumbest bunch of people ever assembled. It's amazing Sunny Hoskins had enough brain power to even breathe.

I think you should swipe a card and pay for it when you go thru the magnetometer. That cost shouldn't be borne by the airlines.

The Real Reason Obamacare Enrollment Is Down Is Thanks To Trump's Fraud Crackdown

Eliminating the 1.5 million fraudulent people who enrolled in 2025 means that coverage numbers may have actually increased.

thefederalist.com

"To hear the Left’s rhetoric during last fall’s government shutdown, one would have thought that the December 31 expiration of enhanced Obamacare subsidies came one step away from Armageddon. Shockingly, the predictions of disaster haven’t materialized.

Before Easter, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released the final report regarding the 2026 open enrollment period. The CMS data show marginal differences in coverage numbers, but no dramatic changes, illustrating the wisdom of Congress allowing the enhanced subsidies to expire as scheduled.

Overall, CMS reported that 23.1 million enrollees selected Exchange plans during the open enrollment period, or were automatically re-enrolled in coverage. That represents a slight reduction of 1.2 million enrollees compared to last year, but an increase of 6.7 million compared to 2023 under the Biden Administration.

More to the point: The release accompanying the report noted that during 2025, CMS “ended…[subsidies] or coverage for nearly 1.5 million people found to be either ineligible for financial assistance, or enrolled without their authorization.”

Translation: Eliminating the 1.5 million fraudulent people who enrolled in 2025 means that coverage numbers may have actually increased compared to last year’s open enrollment period. Or, to put it another way, Democrats who complain about “coverage losses” this year are really complaining that the Trump Administration cracked down on fraud and ineligible enrollees on the Exchanges."
