The House and the Democratic-controlled Senate are due to be in session for about 12 days before funding expires on Sept. 30, leaving little time to agree on a package of 12 appropriations bills that can pass each chamber and win Democratic President Joe Biden’s signature.
The main bone of contention among House Republicans is a demand by roughly three-dozen members of the hardline House Freedom Caucus to cut spending for fiscal 2024 to $1.47 trillion – about $120 billion less than Biden and Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy agreed in May.
The White House and Senate leaders – including top Republican Mitch McConnell – have rejected that demand.
That dispute and other hardline demands, including opposition to Ukraine aid and calls for an impeachment inquiry against Biden, could imperil efforts to pass a short-term stopgap, known as a continuing resolution or “CR,” which would keep federal agencies afloat while lawmakers debate full-scale appropriations.
Aren’t these the same people who absolutely lost their shit over a “lockdown” that wasn’t a lockdown and “shutting down” the economy during a worldwide pandemic?
So, in some reality, they understand that wholesale shutting things down without a plan is a bad thing, huh?
When will anyone wake up and start screaming in these motherfuckers faces “You’re painfully transparently operating in bad faith, you piece of shit!”
They know they’re hypocrites. They’re ok with it. You can’t shame a Nazi as they are proudly goosestepping, that’s just an entirely pointless exercise.
