212 House Democrats Vote To Shut Down Government

When DemocRat Senators block this bill, which they will do, America will see the DemocRats for who they are. With no DemocRat pork or kickbacks in the bill, the DemocRats are upset that their gravy train has been permentally derailed. --Two hundred twelve House Democrats voted against a GOP-backed spending bill Tuesday afternoon to fund the government through the end of September. - The stopgap government funding bill passed the House of Representatives 217 to 213. House Democrats’ decision to oppose a six-month extension of government funding, known as a continuing resolution (CR) comes after many Democratic lawmakers previously warned about the dangers of shutting down the government during previous government funding fights. - Some House Democrats defended their vote against the CR by arguing that the House should have continued with bipartisan negotiations to pass government funding bills through regular order instead. - House Republicans rightfully  blamed Democratic lawmakers for trying to impose limitations on the Department of Government Efficiency and the president’s authority to slash government spending as the reason for why government funding bill negotiations ultimately stalled. - “The Democrats are responsible for the mess we’re in because they added these completely undeliverable positions to the negotiations,” Johnson told reporters Tuesday. “They wanted us to tie the hands of the administration.” - “They’re trying to shut down anything that President Trump is trying to do, also trying to shut down everything DOGE is trying to do,” Republican Arizona Rep. Eli Crane told the DCNF. - https://dailycaller.com/2025/03/11/212-house-democrats-vote-to-shut-down-government/

We can shut it down for good as far as I'm concerned.  We can privatize the important things they do......(not very well.)

If Trump's in charge of it, shutting it down can only be a good thing.

 

But we've heard all this MAGA moaning before. Make unreasonable demands, refuse to even discuss compromises, and then yeep that the other side is responsible when negotiations cave in. Same old same old same old.

 

When the Democrats controlled the House, they always gave Republicans some of what they wanted, even though they didn't have to. That's because they consider their job to govern, while MAGA considers their job to create Project 2025--and it says multiple times in that "book" that compromise is weakness.


What compromises have the MAGA scum offered in order to prevent a government shutdown?
