The point, as idiotic as it is, is that MAGATS own all 3 branches of government. The answer to that dumbass statement is they don't. MAGATS Owning the senate, since democrats vote against republicans on just about every bill, would require at least 60 republican senators.

Mike Johnson Snaps as Shutdown Arguments Repeatedly Crumble on Air
Even Fox News pushed back on the House speaker’s claims.
During an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, Johnson was brutally fact-checked on his outlandish claims about the Democratic proposal to extend tax credits for the Affordable Care Act that were set to expire at the end of the year. Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for those tax credits, and an estimated 5.1 million Americans will lose their insurance by 2034 if ACA funding expires at the end of the year, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

“The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher health care premiums. Why are you against that?” Stephanopoulos asked.
“That’s an absurd statement, what you said there,” Johnson said.
“It’s a factual statement,” Stephanopoulos replied.
“As you know, people who are here in the United States illegally have never been eligible for the Obamacare subsidies, for Medicare, for Medicaid,” she pressed. “So, what exactly are you saying that they’re trying to do when you talk about giving free health care to them?”
Johnson dodged the question, claiming that many people who were ineligible for Medicaid were receiving benefits, and that in Democrats’ counterproposal, taxpayer money would go toward benefits for undocumented immigrants.

Don't conflate control with majority. For the senate to have full control they need 60.
Truth be told.Very convincing argument.
Clever?

Wrong. Undocumented aliens aren't eligible for coverage to begin with. What the Democrats do want is to avoid kicking millions of Americans off their health care plans. Which of course is of no interest to the Republicans since they don't think anyone should have affordable health care to begin with.

Back then Hillary, Barack, Billy boy were in agreement with Trump on immigration policy, against healthcare for illegals. Hypocrisy on steroids.

Trump didn't have an immigration policy back then, nor does he now. "Deport brown people!" is not a policy.
No one is giving illegals free healthcare.
How can there be hypocrisy of something that never existed? God damn, you're a stupid person.

I'd say you're being intellectually dishonest, but that would be an oxymoron, you don't have an intellect.
Trump is in full agreement with 'used to be real democrats' of past democrat administrations, then we got blindsided with both Covid and TDS.
Trump doesn't have an immigration policy? Trump's policy on immigration is simple, follow the laws on the books!
Most certainly are.
Debunking the Democrats’ Shutdown Delusion
Share on Facebook Share on X Print this Page Share by EmailDEMOCRAT DELUSION: Democrats will not support a partisan Republican spending bill that “rips health care away” from the American people.
REALITY: The current funding bill is a simple short-term funding extension with no policy changes and health care programs are fully funded at the current levels. Democrats want to hold September government funding hostage over an unrelated December policy fight of their own making. Policy debates can happen separately, and Democrats don’t need to shut down the government to do it.
As Democrats have even admitted, “There is a time and a place to debate health care, just like there is a time and place to debate energy policy and immigration and education — but not when the funding of the federal government, and all the lives that are impacted by it, hang in the balance.” — Senator Chris Murphy
DEMOCRAT DELUSION: Republicans are pushing a partisan bill passed on a strict party-line vote.
REALITY: The nonpartisan clean CR only appears “partisan” because 212 House Democrats and 46 Senate Democrats chose to make it that way. This CR is the same short-term funding extension that virtually all Democrats voted to pass 13 times during the Biden Administration. Despite this voting history, nearly every Democrat has refused to support the current clean, nonpartisan funding extension to keep the government open and operational.[/TD]

Now, point to the part of the bill that allocates money for illegals.
Perhaps Biden should come to the White House and coach the Pig on how to engage bipartisan support to keep the government running. Even with his serious health challenges, Biden is far superior to the Pig with regard to facilitating bipartisan political actions.
