On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN) responded to a question over whether she would support shutting down the government over ICE funding by stating that “I can’t see any way that I could provide more funding to an agency that is completely out of control.”

Because the last shutdown worked so well for them…

And it would have the added bonus of shutting down funding to the fricking scams that necessitated a lot of this to begin with.

Republicans should tell poors "The Democrats took away your food stamps so people making five times what you make can get subsidized health care. Then they did it another time so people who snuck into the country and have a deportation order can't be kicked out."

Of course they aren't smart enough to do that.

Problem is that GOP fully funded SNAP for 2026, so the last shitheads won't see a blip in their gimmes.

There is no way the polling on this is telling them to do that. “We are going to shutdown your government services on behalf of foreigners that snuck in to steal your services.”

No way.

They denied the border was open, denied paying to house, feed, shelter illegals, denied illegals were getting healthcare or welfare.

This was all debunked so now they want to stop ICE from removing these people.

That’s the problem. The polling is about the feelz. “Help stop ICE from brutalizing snd murdering US citizens?”

“Yes? Ok, we shut it down. “

In a perfect world 90-95% of the GOP and 99.7% of the Democrats should be primaried at every given chance. (Fetterman is the the .3%).

Their base is deranged, so they can blame every bad thing the Dems do on Trump. There are a lot of moderates and independents who don't have full TDS but don't like Trump personally who might buy their lies.

Thune and the Senate RINOs are the problem. They will bend over and take it from Cuckie and Hakeem.

Only DJT and JDV have the balls to stand up to them.

They won their main elections and inevitably got the ACA funding extension they wanted, so I’d say it worked for them.

Tack on inflated health insurance premiums, property and state taxes, auto insurance, energy, and every other fricking thing.

It won't shutdown ICE. That's considered critical work.

It actually only hurts the custodians, food service and hospitality employees really. The ones who they say they champion but we all know they don't.

What a world we live in. I remember this dude in his campaign. Seemed like a complete moron. Maybe he is a complete moron, but just smarter than the other 99.7%?

I respect the man. He at least provides logic for his decisions even if I don't agree with his opinions. The rest of the democratic plantation just shouts platitudes and misdirections.
