Democrats proposed paying active duty military during the shutdown

Democrats proposed paying active duty military during the shutdown, Republicans would not even let it come to a vote.

Meanwhile, soldiers and their families line up at food banks to beg for food. Guardsmen rely on local charities to feed them in cities they occupy.

trump was doing quite well with white enlisted men, but you have to wonder if that support might be slipping.

Oh, so paying the military while the rest of the government can go to hell is a good thing now? How about the Democrats just pass the "clean" CR without a bunch of added on stuff and riders and then negotiate a real budget with the Republicans?

The National Guard are State funded troops, not federally funded. So, they aren't on the federal budget.
 
Pretty much no one on my grapevine anymore thinks that Trump is in charge of anything that matters....as was the situation with Biden.

You and your grapevine are as dead as the entire democrat party. Trump looks to be entirely in-charge of the Israel/Hamas peace deal.

Anyone who labels themselves "ultra MAGA" is clearly a violent, angry nutjob. No doubt those around him have targeted him as an enemy when his hero declares martial law and cancels the Midterms.

I hope they make it painless for him. No need to be cruel. :thup:
Why don't you bring your old crippled feeble ass on over and take care of it yourself?

Soldiers tend to be closer to the edge financially.

I would love for the Republicans to allow a clean extension, but they will not. We are trying to save what we can.

Not exactly. They are dual funded, which means sometimes they are funded by the federal government. The federal government has had trouble paying them on time, even before this shutdown. This has left National Guard officers with huge credit card bills, and looking at not getting paid for a while.

The Republicans ARE the ones wanting a clean CR. The Democrats want to tack on about $1.5 trillion in new spending to CYA their Obamacare disaster.
