Jim Jordan Will Not Hold Third Vote And Backs McHenry As Interim Speaker Until January

[1srelluc]

It cost us upwards of 30 million dollars a day for Congress to operate, so they are spending a lot of our money and doing nothing but pouting like children to earn it

Even if that is true (I've read it's half that) then it's the deal of the day when compared to the ass-rape spending we usually get from them.

 

[1srelluc]

And they're also not working on a funding measure for the government, which is scheduled to shut down in a matter of weeks. Or an annual budget. Or determining funding for Ukraine or Israel...or anything else. This is beyond dysfunction...and it's not good no matter which way you slice it.

in case you have not been paying attention nobody cares if it shuts down......Me, I was glad they held off till after Virginia's elections next month.

You. Crying about a “shit show“ and what some imaginary “historians” will say.

Wow. That's some denial you are living in!

 

[shockedcanadian]

not one red dime.

Every Fed Employee that had 39 days off got back pay for them all in one nice lump sump check.

Lol so not a shutdown but a temoorary furlong. You have about as much of a chance of a balanced budget as Canada has of havung humwn rights and an honest Security Industrial Complex.

The demented simp does even know what fucking day it is.

Yes, I'm sure your delusions won't be affected by this. At all.

But you can be sure Biden is

But how much did it save the taxpayer?

Why the government shutdown actually costs money​

Which business? Is there some sweeping legislation we need passed that they were actually going to get passed between now and really ever regardless of who's speaker?

Let's see...

The fake impeachment inquiry.

Supporting Israel.

Supporting Ukraine.

There are about 10,000 bills before Congress, give or take.

Fake News.

During any government “shutdown”, all essential positions keep working, while all the useless ones go home.

Doesn't matter.
If the person who caused the shutdown wasn't getting paid, Trump would have never done it.

The orange retard didn't care, HE was getting paid.

?

Supporting Israel.

Can be done through the CR or the "temp" Speaker

Supporting Ukraine.

See above.

I said legislation we need, not bullshit. If there are 10k bills in front of Congress I'd be willing to wager 9990 of them are bullshit and that a conservative estimate.

Im not going to go through the 10+ pages but there wasn't a single bill on the first page or 2 that was of any dire importance.

Well at least they are not spending our money.

It's this sort of stupidity as to why Republicans can't govern.

IS this the one we need?


A resolution fixing the hour of daily meeting of the Senate.


Or this one?

A resolution establishing a Committee to Inform the President of the United States that a quorum of each House is assembled.

Do we need a committee to let the President know there's a quorum of each house assembled? Really?

Suits me just fine.

 

[Couchpotato]

Not really. This is a symptom of having an evenly divided House of Reps and the fact that the GOP caucus doesn't vote like lemmings. Sadly, both parties don't do this and it's just team politics.

Suits me just fine.

It's not complicated, it's just Republican stupidity.

Delusion? The demented simp you twits put in the White House was fucking incoherent. Our enemies are watching

President Biden Speaks to Reporters Aboard Air Force One

President Biden spoke on the need for humanitarian aid and said though "Israel has been badly victimized" they have an opportunity to help those who are suffering in Israel and Gaza. He briefly spoke about this to reporters aboard Air Force One on his way back to the United States from his visit...

As opposed to the former simp that occupied the White House criticizing our ally's leader after his people were slaughtered?...and praising a terrorist group as "smart"??

I'll take the current guy.

Jordan ended up being the biggest person in the room. He didn't hang out for 15 votes. He's a leader and a winner but he realized there are establishment elitists who would rather destroy our government than their ability to rob government blind. Fuck those 22 dissenters. They're no doubt the most corrupt members of the party. MAGA

No. He knows he's cooked and is going to save himself the embarrassment. No one wants three failed attempts to be Speaker as the only accomplishment on their Congressional resume.
