But the Senate GOP leaders have long seen it as very important, and the Dems know that. This isn't about how you or the Dems view it. The GOP won't do it, and the Dems know that - so why the narrative and the game? What's behind that coordinated Dem tactic? There is clearly some underlying reason why they just keep harping and harping and harping about it, when they know darn well the GOP will not change that long standing Senate procedure.

The tactic is that the GOP can use the nuke option to end the shutdown the same way they use the nuke option to get their 6-3 SCOTUS majority. They have the power to act. Full stop. No matter how you spin it.

No, you missed the context of my post.
Elections have consequences. The tantrum throwing Democrats are in no position to dictate terms of spending priorities.

Tell that to the ones throwing tantrums on 1/6,

You're not bothered that Trump wants to give

$40 Billion​

of our tax dollars to Argentina?

They need it more than our poor.

Say hello to the surprise winner, Argentina, the 51st State!

Trump administration working on doubling Argentina financing to $40 billion

The Trump administration is looking to provide an additional $20 billion in financing for Argentina. This would be on top of a $20 billion credit swap line pledged earlier this month to support Argentina's currency.

Demofks want to give it to illegals

Factual links would be nice.

If the maga Senators were smart enough, they could pass a budget through reconciliation.

Budget Reconciliation Explainer

Reconciliation is a tool – a special process – that makes legislation easier to pass in the Senate.

Because of this extremely odd comment below. Who is it you think organized the event?

One viral tweet could get this going.

Don't ever underestimate trump's unpopularity.

Lol to your "Full stop". It's some weird tactic the Dems have all jumped on, and you simply don't want to talk about the underlying reason for the very coordinated narrative. "No matter how you" want to "spin it" as something other than a typical and tiresome Dem narrative/tactic.

 

[soap box]

I agree with that. My worry is that the new CIA is being used to form a new transaction. This gives our president leverage and power over the country. The money would help stabilize the economy there, and that leaves a CIA puppet in place. I don't trust Milei to share with the people, but what you posted is true for me.

There's nothing to hide: Democrats want Republicans to reconsider their decision to strip healthcare coverage for millions of Americans. If Dems can't successfully force Republicans to do it, then at least they have told the American public what this is about, and they will have a clearer understanding when they can no longer afford their premiums (on top of the many millions more who are going to lose their coverage once they get laid off or are no longer eligible to remain on their parents plan).

Wait, you think the Democratic Party organized the No Kings protest?

 

[Popeye2]

Yes, that much has been established. That CR needs additional votes that have to come from Democrats, which is why negotiation is required. The MAGAGOP is just trying to put the pressure through media talking points.

Nope, that’s happening in January

 

[upsideguy]

We voted his party out of office, since there are no kings

Demofks want to give it to illegals

Not a particularly astute of observer of American politics hey?

If you really were aware of what was actually happening you would not make such shallow, thoughtless statements that are patently absurd. Perhaps you need better sources so you don't parrot these nonsensical talking points pushed out for the consumption of Trump's useful idiots.

Illegals are hardly significant consumers of American healthcare and Biden is as far from autocrat as you could find.... but if you wish to develop a reputation as an ignorant parrot that thinks the zip in your post is in creative name calling, then keep on keeping on...

Let us know when you have something insightful to say.

 

[weaver2]

then why hasn't he commanded the GOP to use nuclear options if he controls them all ?

Oh come on, I know you are not that ignorant. Don't make playground comments if you want an adult discussion.

Pick your progressive organization involved in putting these together. Who is it you think these organizations fight for, contribute to, support, vote for, and rally together for these protests? It's just yet another hate Trump rally, pulling together all the usual angry, hate Trump leftists.

 

[What if...?]

Are you busy October 18th? Please join me by attending a 'No Kings' event near you.

Potentially millions of your fellow Americans will join together to say that America is not an authoritarian state. It wasn't that long ago that these protests would have included lots of Republicans as well. Today? Not so much.

I’m working at the Civic Theater in San Diego and the courtyard is where the No Kings event here starts.

 

[What if...?]

You're simply rallying against Trump because the rest of what you wrote simply is a lie.

We have separate but equal powers. This has not changed.

People like you just don't like anything the courts say which rule for President Trump or recognize that he also won the House.

Go protest against the election though. It's your right.

If they weren’t just going down a “how to be president for life” checklist somebody got from a high school history book your rant might carry some weight.

Of course the general idiocy of the MAGA movement is likely to save us all as they can’t even avoid saying the quiet part out loud or mixing up the order of the steps. They literally used “the enemy within”

Which is likely a copyright violation and the estate of one of the tyrants from the last century may sue trump into (another) bankruptcy!

If we have to have a king we don’t want the stupid one.

Is that to much to ask?

And honestly, what is to like about the “man”.

Personally, warts and all, I like the system the Founder’s made for us.

I will never understand why y’all don’t.

 

[What if...?]

LOL. You guys are too funny. Do you remember the million person March 2017 pro-abortion rally in DC? You got your rocks off on one million people being there and yet what did it accomplish? Trump was president for four more years and you guys went backwards on abortion, not forwards. You guys have another very long three years to go and I'm going to love every minute of your daily melt downs.

Trump and Miller are stroking each other’s tiny wieners in anticipation of seeing liberal heads smashed open.

You must have the pay per view.

My plans? Walk the dog in the morning. Study learning my second favorite language. Watch Fox News-CNN-MSNBC simply to see what is so gosh-darned important about watching protesters come up with various ways to appear politically impotent. Work out at the club. Play some music.
Catch the new season of the series "The Diplomat". Read before bed.Get a good night's sleep. SHould I be doing something else to make good use of my time?

What is this latest NO KINGS gathering supposed to reflect or indicate?
Remember the Mid Term elections are still a year away.
Those who already detest Trump are going to vote Democrat anyway.
Who is supposed to be swayed by these various Trump-hating rabble?

Maybe you simply don't understand it takes a strong leader to deal with a stubborn political opposition party; get rid of millions of illegal aliens which Biden would not or could not do; bring peace to Gaza; be the leader of country that is powerful NATO member that has the weapons, oil/gas, and military intelligence that all allies need.

And just what are the participants of these anti-Trump protests supposed to accomplish?

 

[reflechissez]

There’s a couple very close to me, so yes!

Since the USA has no Constitutional provision regarding a "King," it stands to reason that we don't have one.

What we DO have is a duly elected President with both the right and duty to exercise all the powers authorized by the U.S. Constitution to the holder of that office.

To prevent an elected President from overstepping his authority, we have a Supreme Court, and we have a Congress consisting of a House and a Senate who together make the laws that the President is required to enforce.

So no, I see no reason to join a Leftist protest designed to show opposition to a President I voted for and for whom I currently support as doing exactly what I voted for.

We're shocked; thanks for letting us know.

You need to ask yourself that same question. Who do you think your organizations are fighting for: your freedom?, your well-being?, your financial security?, your health and health care?, your cost of living? Do you really have any idea what Trump is doing other than putting on a circus for you and calling it "owning the libs". Do you really think that the Heritage Foundation's 2025 Project was written with the average workingman in mind?

Normal Americans don't go around calling the president a king or swear f-words at him

Sure we do.

Well, if I was an American and in the USA, I sure would be there. Not because I am Dem or GOP but because (a) POTUS is a disgusting felon etc., and (b) he, and his GOP enablers have taken the USA from being a well respected Country where the Rule of Law, rules based order, due process and the words at the base of Lady Liberty actually meant something and were paramount, to now...a criminally rogue State, lead by a 'King John/Caligula' where immorality, lawlessness from the top, both domestically and internationally is rife.

Restore pride, integrity, honesty, decency ~ get off your knees Team USA ~ claim your Country back and protest en masse, large.
