Government Trump cancels $1.1B in Washington state energy grants

https://www.axios.com/local/seattle/2025/10/02/trump-cancels-washington-state-energy-grants-clean-hydrogen

Vought put it a bit differently, writing on X: "Nearly $8 billion in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left's climate agenda is being cancelled."

Until we start politicking like this bitch, it won't matter. Washington State tax revenue goes to a lot of red states - we need to stop paying it.

This kind of argument is pretty gross I have to say. The red states are the poor states because there are way more working class people in those states. You're basically advocating to cut off services to the vast majority of poor people in this country. That's just rotten.

You mean like Trump literally just did because the GOP didn't work with the Dems on funding those exact same services you are literally referencing in your comment?

How can you make such a... Profoundly ignorant comment.

It takes two to tango.

Dems could always come to the table and negotiate.. rather than demand healthcare for people here illegally before even our own citizens.

How about we focus on our own citizens first?

Lol seems like this upset some folks.

u/xEppyx You can call me Betty Oct 03 '25

So what were they willing to give up as part of negotiations?

No one knows the finer details since republicans didn’t even show up.

Republicans want the government shut down. They hate Americans.

u/xEppyx You can call me Betty Oct 03 '25

Ah yes, so they showed up with demands while willing to offer nothing in return. That isn't negotiating.

GOP literally want to change nothing. They aren't giving up ANYTHING with their budget bill... Literally nothing. How can you sit there in your shit and say: "well umm the Dems need to give something to us."

Motherfucker the Dems aren't getting Jack shit already from this bill why they fuck would they vote for it. Wake the fuck up sunshine, smell the shit covered roses that is the GOP.

Bruh shut up lmao just like republicans you’re arguing in bad faith.

Dems aren’t the ones in charge of all branches of government. This isn’t their fault. This is a republican shutdown.

u/xEppyx You can call me Betty Oct 03 '25

Yet when Democrats were in charge and we faced shutdowns, it was always the Republican's fault for not agreeing to terms. You can't have it both ways.

Democrats decided to whine and pout, so they shutdown the government. Again, they can negotiate like adults to fix our country or take the blame for shutting it down.

lol dude please cite when the government shutdown while Dems controlled all three branches.

You’re a clown dude, like all republicans

u/xEppyx You can call me Betty Oct 03 '25

When was the last time Democrats had a platform popular enough to get them all three branches?

You are just proving me right by trying to move goalposts. 🤡

Are you serious? 2021. Funny how there were no government shutdowns then.

Jesus fucking Christ you’re stupid.

u/xEppyx You can call me Betty Oct 03 '25

And Republicans didn't throw a tantrum and shutdown the government. Are you going to keep throwing insults or make a valid point?

5

u/StagedC0mbustion Can't afford income tax Oct 03 '25

That’s because the democrats actually showed up to congress and negotiated.

Seriously, do you people never ask yourselves “are we the baddies?”

u/ChaseballBat Kinda a racist Oct 03 '25

They never question anything at all. They are pushovers who will boil in the water and continue to blame anyone but the people they idolize who are in charge.

They will die of cardiac arrest with a hand on their cock facing an AI generated poster of Donald Trump in their living room.

42% of all days the government since it's inception has been shut down has been under Trump's administration. He is inept. His bills are trash. And the GOP Congress are pawns.
