They won’t even meet with Dems to work thing out. They own this shut down.
Voters will overwhelmingly blame Republicans for economic fallout of the shutdown, according to CNBC poll

- Start date
“Congress has passed all its regular appropriations bills on time only four times since the current budget process began in 1977 — for fiscal years 1977, 1989, 1995, and 1997.”
(Pew Research, Sept 13 2023)
Using this an an excuse for why the Schumer shutdown exists is nonsensical
gas lighting shit stains can only obsfucate
the subsidy that democrats chose to allow to sunset was approved with no Republican support
The fact that Congress hasn't fully done its job on time in the past is not really a good excuse for why a Congress completely controlled by the GOP has not done its job.
This Congress hasn't passed any of the 13 appropriation bills. This Congress is completely GOP controlled.
There is a difference between not passing all its regular appropriations bills and passing none. Previous Congresses have often passed some of the appropriations but not all of them by the Oct 1 deadline. This GOP controlled Congress has passed NONE of them. Not only that, this GOP congress isn't even close to passing any of them.
Schumer is not in the House. The House is under the control of the GOP. The GOP House has been on vacation for 10 of the last 13 weeks when they could have been working on passing all 13 appropriation bills. The fact that the House has not passed them puts the blame on the GOP for not doing their job and instead taking 10 weeks of vacation. If the House had passed the bills you might be able to blame the Senate but because the House decided to take vacation instead of doing their work it looks to be the fault of the House.
so you are using an excuse that neither party has achieved in decades to excuse you for shutting down government today
what comes around goes around
just know that shit stain
From Diogenes favorite AI:
U.S. appropriation bills must originate in the House of Representatives, as mandated by Article I, Section 7 of the U.S. Constitution, which states that "All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives." While this specifically refers to revenue bills, the practice extends to appropriation bills, which allocate federal funds, as they are closely tied to the House's power of the purse. The Senate can amend these bills, but the initial introduction must occur in the House.
It has been used in the past. Under Gingrich, he blamed the Democrats because the House had passed the bills and the Senate hadn't.
But being in a cult like you are, you wouldn't actually know history.

Examples of Non-Revenue or Spending-Related Bills that Originated in the Senate
| Bill | Origin | Description | Why it didn’t violate the Origination Clause |
|---|---|---|---|
| Affordable Care Act (2010) | Senate | The ACA (H.R. 3590 as amended) was originally a House veterans’ housing bill, but the Senate replaced its contents entirely (“gut and amend”). | The courts (e.g., Sissel v. HHS, D.C. Cir. 2014) held the ACA was not a “bill for raising revenue” because its taxes were incidental to health-care reform. |
| Surface Transportation Reauthorization Bills | Senate | Large transportation packages (e.g., FAST Act, MAP-21) often begin in the Senate Environment & Public Works Committee. | They involve trust funds, fees, and spending but are not “revenue bills.” |
| CHIPS and Science Act (2022) | Senate | Began as S. 1260 (“Endless Frontier Act”), originated in Senate. | Contains spending and incentives, not general tax measures. |
| National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) | Senate (and House alternate years) | Authorizes spending but does not appropriate or levy taxes. | Not a revenue-raising bill. |
| Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (2021) | Senate | Originated as S. 2377. | Involved spending, not general taxation. |
| CARES Act (2020) | Senate | Originated as S. 3548. | Included tax relief and spending, but the courts view it as economic-stabilization, not a bill to raise revenue. |

And they keep lying about what the Dems want and about who is truly responsible. I hope the Dems get better at their messaging soon! Shumer and Jeffries just aren't making it!
Traditionally, the House of Representatives initiated consideration of regular appropriations
measures, and the Senate subsequently considered and amended the House-passed bills. More
recently, the Senate appropriations subcommittees and committee have sometimes not waited for
the House bills; instead they have reported original Senate bills.
you lose dip shit

Nothing to meet about until the government reopen. Schumer must cave, or more Democrat Senators must defect.
I quote directly from the Congressional Research Service and you claim they are losers. OK...you lose dip shit

Doesn't change the fact that the GOP controlled House which is able to pass any and all legislation it wants to without a single Democratic vote has failed to pass the 13 appropriation bills before Oct 1. And it clearly doesn't explain why the House has been on vacation for 10 of the last 13 weeks instead of trying to do their work and actually pass the spending bills.
Why is the GOP House not working to pass spending bills? Why are they on vacation?
you are spinning in circles
it has been nearly 40 years since this last happened. yet you are now using it to justify a government shutdown

You just continue to show you are in a cult when you post stupid shit like this.
This is the current status of the appropriation bills. The House has only passed 3 of the 12.
Why is the GOP controlled House on vacation when they haven't passed all the appropriation bills that are to be law prior to Oct 1?
5 is the most any congress has passed in modern history. using this as an excuse to hold government hostage is idiotic.
the media is not going to carry your water - they are still trying to repair their reputation from the Dementia Joe lies
"Do what we say or else" is not going to win you the midterms. this shutdown is all democrats and the longer it lasts, the more Americans will blame you
you can't shine a turd dipshit. no messaging fixes your fuck up
your entire premise is bullshit.
