President-elect Donald Trump blasted Democrats on Thursday night, accusing them of voting for a shutdown.

In a brief statement, Trump said "Nearly every single House Democrat just voted against government funding and to shut down the government."

These 197 Democrats voted against keeping the government open, disaster relief, and aid for farmers," he added.

Democrats voted overwhelmingly against the second attempt at a continuing resolution Thursday evening, joining a few dozen Republicans in the process. This CR was backed by Trump, who called for the new bill to include suspending the debt ceiling. This bill would have done so until 2027.

Vice President-elect JD Vance and other Republicans also blasted the second attempt at a CR.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Good. The blame is on them, they've stuck their fingers in the eye on every republican president in my lifetime.

Dollar Store Obama was bragging about it. Dog just caught the car. Poor stupid dog.

I like this new game of parliamentary hardball. Gloves off. Marquis of Queensbury rules.

Trump likes prizefighting and a balanced budget with minimal pork sounds real good about now.

Or if not this year, well, whenever.

And tag-teaming with Elon and Vivik just makes it better!

This isn’t even 3D chess. Bringing it to the floor under suspension requires 2/3 vote, around 290. The minute Obama Minime announced the Dems were going to vote no, the bill was dead, and all the debate and vote were kabuki theater. Now it’s either go through the rules committee, or let the government shut down for two weeks and have Trump and social media combat the Dem propaganda machine. I like the latter, but either way is OK.

It’s fun to shift blame, but 30 Republicans killed the Plan B bill.

If it’s blame we’re looking for, we can thank Musk for blowing up the deal Johnson was able to cobble together.

With the bigger megaphone, Trump and Musk are going to win the fight. Even after the defeat of the Democrats in November this year, the House Democrats are too stupid to realize the fix they are in.

Well, what worked on dopey Biden way back then, won’t work on Trump now as he’s married to Melania; 100 times the woman. /s

And DOGE laughs. The shutdown will only show how utterly useless and unnecessary most of the government is.
