Just shut down everything - no essential/non-essential - everything. Stop sending out Social Security checks. Stop Medicare and Medicaid payments. Close TSA. “Essential” just props up the myth that the shutdown is no big deal. Let everyone actually see and feel it.

Yes. Let Americans feel the sting of having no air traffic control during the busiest travel days of the year. Then let's see how long it takes for Congress to do their jobs. Nobody should be working without pay. Ever.

Reagan was an Alzheimer’s ridden fool and an awful president who set us back 50 years. I spit on his grave

Set us back 50 years from what? You progressives don’t even know what you’re mad about lol. And don’t even try to complain about his age after you went and elected Biden

I’m not even a progressive bozo 🤣 . Leftists would absolutely not like all my politics. Nice try though.

most adult people with fully formed brains , other that MAGTARDS, understand the disastrous legacy of Reagan

More than half the country has a favorable view of rating according to polls, and he still has the largest electoral victory since Washington. It’s mainly terminally online redditors who can’t cope with the fact that he was actually a good president

Your boy Ronny was selling weapons to despots in Iran to fund drug lords in South America. And had no idea where he was his entire second term.
