    Yea they could have. But Biden didn’t shut down paychecks for regular folks right at christmas…

    You’d be fine with that.

      Biden had ample opportunity to end these budget hostage sessions, but he rejected them all.

        When did Biden control legislation? Did I miss him giving multiple vetoes to previous bills? The hell does this have to do with him and not every republican screwing up congress?

          If the DNC had chosen to run progressive policies we wouldnt be here. But they didnt and here we are.

            They should have. Obama running on “change” should have clued them into something. But still, Biden didn’t elect this congress, nor write this bill, nor did he cause this mess we’re in. It’s fair to say dems didn’t swing hard enough, but the GOP has an unrelenting presence, propelling the problem and yet getting votes. Thats on Fox News not Biden.

      Yeah, they did deny lifesaving care to trans kids, and you support this bill for that reason alone.

        That’s a fuck ton to read into someone just saying we should pay people… but the trans BUT THE TRANS! No one is disagreeing with you but yourself. Well also the GOP… SO WHAT ABOUT THE TRANS!!!

        I mean for fucks sake we just had Elon Musk wave his dick around and influence this legislation and this whole thread is blaming Biden… some smooth brain shit going on here.

      Better than picking disposable section of society to throw under the bus in the name of compromise, why do Trump’s work for him?

          “we just had to do whatever Trump wanted otherwise ‘regular folk’ might get affected slightly”

            You know, the “regular folks”, the military members without trans children. Not the weirdos who also serve but have kids who are trans. It would be really tragic if the regular folks were inconvenienced.

                  I’m aware, but it’s still not vanishing overnight. We have had plenty of shutdowns in the past and this shit wasn’t urgent.

                  I mean if the government shut down the US military doesn’t vanish, we’ve had many shutdowns in the past, this shit wasn’t urgent.
