Donald Trump has hosted a fundraiser for his White House ballroom construction project as hundreds of thousands of federal workers go unpaid amid the ongoing government shutdown.
It’s been 15 days since Congress failed to pass a bill to keep federal agencies funded, slowing down or stopping government operations, as essential employees continue to go to work without pay.
But this dark period of partisan gridlock is not keeping the president from having a good time with those helping make his dreams of a glitzy ballroom come true.
Why isn’t anyone fucking crucifying the republicans over this shutdown?
Where is the outrage?
Why do the republicans get to set the narrative?
Because they control the stream of disinformation to their voters. Their voters don’t actually live in the real world, but in a fantasy scenario dreamed up by Republican talking heads.

I believe the air traffic controllers quitting en masse will, once again, be the lynchpin. But as you said, the conservative controlled media is working 24/7 to blame democrats and glaze over everything the republicans have done and are doing.

It’s not really quitting working if the employer quits paying you first.
I think they will find a way to pay them. Here’s an article from yesterday saying they plan to do just that.

Have you seen what the British government has been doing lately?
They’re kind of down with the fascism. 😒
Well, there’s probably going to be a lot of hungry poor people in November, but I’m sure any trouble starting will see them helping out those corporate farms. What are Medicare and social security recipients going to do? Die in protest?
They’ve spent every waking minute creating one of the most effective political propaganda machines in the world, since Watergate showed that the media alone could effectively control what the average person believed.
“Rome has never been this bright.”
– NERO-
What’s Trump’s weekly golf outings up to this time around?
He might be too afraid to golf this time. Since he knows for a fact thousands of people both want him dead and are capable of making it happen. He’s an idiot if he doesn’t realize that. What a way to live a life.
Sounds a lot like the czars been the Bolshevik revolution
Was there a typo there?
Yes, should have said before
Thank you, my brain just froze there. It’s been a day of mental circles, irl.
Let him and his rich friends fund it all, and the moment this fool is consigned to history, level it.
Better yet, wall it off and leave it to rot.
How else is he going to accept more of that sweet sweet Qatar money
Wasn’t he supposed to be paying for this himself?
And then the price doubled. And then he’s using funds from lawsuits for it.
And now this
What a twat
The government is shutdown, they gotta raise some money somehow
