“(wall street urinal) Washington—top zanu pf leaders made their case to President Trump for restoring billions of dollars in healthcare spending as part of any deal to avoid a government shutdown, but they said there was no breakthrough in talks, further dimming hopes of a last-minute deal.
“'it was a frank and direct discussion' with the president and bottom leaders, 'but significant and meaningful differences remain,' said house minority leader Hakeem Jeffries (zanu-pf, n.y.) after leaving the meeting at the white house.”
GRA: Trump didn't want a closure last time, why is this one different?”

May this glorious shutdown last for weeks, months, even all the way through the '26 elections!
Republicans: continued a $2 Trillion deficit from Biden/Harris spending levels. Even with added tariff revenue. Even with Trump's layoffs and firings. Even with cutting waste the DOGE kids found. The onebigbeautifulsh*tsandwich bill.
Democrats: waited until the last minute to demand a ransom, make it $3 Trillion to save obamacare, nobody should have to actually pay the shared responsibility payment
The Shutdown limits the damage Congress can do. Maybe even reduces the deficit. Almost as good as the "Congress insurance" shtick that Rush Limbaugh used to do.
Yeah, everyone knows the Republicans will cave. We'll end up on closer to $3 Trillion than $2 Trillion, hooray, free obamacare for everyone! Probably sooner rather than later. But I'm enjoying the moment while it lasts.
C'mon, Mr. Trump, let's get going on these "mass firings" we've been hearing about. Before you lose your nerve. We want sob stories on CBS News about dedicated government employees who can't afford the fixin's for Thanksgiving dinner this year.
"LONG,GRUELING STANDOFF" BEGINS--LET'S SEE
GRA:Media pundits are usually wrong,let's give them another chance to prove it again.
WASHINGTON, Oct 1 (Reuters) - The U.S. government shut down much of its operations on Wednesday as deep partisan divisions prevented Congress and the White House from reaching a funding deal, setting off what could be a long, grueling standoff that could lead to the loss of thousands of federal jobs.
There was no clear path out of the impasse, while agencies warned that the 15th government shutdown since 1981 would halt the release of a closely watched September employment report, opens new tab, slow air travel, opens new tab, suspend scientific research, withhold pay from U.S. troops and lead to the furlough of 750,000 federal workers at a daily cost of $400 million.
GRA:A week--tops?Or could they push this a whole month?

"POOPIE'S" BACK--DOESN'T SOUND SICK--LIES ABOUT oBAMACARE FOR ILLEGALS;TRUMP PLANTS A SOMBRERO ON JEFFRIES
GRA:"Poopie" Goldberg opened today's show with:"Let me say,first of all,immigrants cannot receive government benefits--they haven't for 50 years!"
The counterpoint:
(ZH)The government shutdown, which is now in play, hinges largely on a handful of policies which place Republicans and Democrats at an impasse. One such issue is the Democrat demand that Trump bring back Affordable Care Act (ACA) coverage for immigrants, an idea that Trump has rejected outright.
Republicans say the Democrats are trying to buy loyalty (and future votes) from illegal migrants using welfare handouts paid for with citizen tax dollars. Democrats claim this is a GOP lie and that they only want coverage for "immigrants with a lawful presence".
Of course, this language is very carefully chosen by progressives for a reason: Asylum seekers are considered by them to be migrants with "a lawful presence" and they do qualify for ACA coverage under previous policies. Most asylum seekers that entered the US during the Biden Administration do not actually qualify for asylum. They simply lie about their circumstances, and Democrats made this process easy.
In other words, Trump and the Republicans are correct - Democrats are trying to give healthcare handouts to illegals. They are simply playing a game of semantics, using the immigration status gray area to their advantage.
This is very similar to the game played by politicians in the UK, who say they plan to stop all "illegal immigration" while they are actually increasing the flow of migrants by making more of them technically legal.
In response to the Democrat's dishonest language, Trump posted an AI meme featuring Senator Chuck Schumer and Democrat House Leader Hakeem Jeffries in a sombrero and bandito mustache.
They voiced instant outrage.
GRA:No sense of humor,the dems.
