Johnson Quotes Obama, Uses Dems’ Own Words Against Them In Shutdown UltimatumTrending Politics NewsBy Cullen McCueOctober 13, 2025House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) delivered a firm warning to his Democrat colleagues on Monday as the partial government shutdown drags past the two-week mark.“We’re barreling toward one of the longest shutdowns in American history unless Democrats drop their partisan demands and pass a clean, no-strings-attached budget to reopen the government and pay our federal workers,” Johnson said during a press conference Monday.The partial government shutdown began 13 days ago when all but three Senate Democrats voted against the House-passed “clean” temporary funding measure that would provide necessary funds until late November. Passing the measure would require 60 votes in the Senate, meaning that Democrats would need to vote in favor in order to break the gridlock.Democrats are calling for massive increases in temporary spending — some of which will go towards healthcare benefits for illegal aliens — and an extension of Obama-era Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits that are set to expire.Senators John Fetterman (D-PA), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Angus King (I-ME) are the only members of the Democratic Party caucus who have voted with Republicans to end the shutdown, which is now projected to last upwards of three weeks.During Monday’s press conference, Johnson referenced comments made by then-President Barack Obama during a government shutdown in 2013. “There is one way out of this reckless and damaging Republican shutdown: Congress has to pass a budget that funds our government with no partisan strings attached,” Obama declared at the time.https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/new-house-republicans-give-dems-a-firm-ultimatum-if-shutdown-continues-cmc/

You may find 'nobility' in a savage. But never forget that his first instinct is to kill you.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
