[0311]

Speaker MIKE JOHNSON is yanking House Republicans’ six-month stopgap funding plan, forgoing a vote on the legislation, which was originally scheduled to hit the floor later this afternoon.

Johnson said he’ll delay the vote until next week so that House Republicans can work over the weekend to tamp down GOP defections and “build consensus.”

“The measure has crumbled amid mounting criticism from conservatives, defense hawks and other Republican factions, and it’s unclear that more time will help save the bill unless leaders make drastic changes,” Caitlin Emma writes. “House GOP leaders have already been whipping the bill, and nearly a dozen Republicans have publicly said they plan to vote against it.”

And Republicans are about to eat another shit sandwich over possibly closing down the government.
All over phantom stolen elections.

Republicans are incapable of sound, responsible governance.

They do not know how to govern.

Not over stolen elections, its about non-citizens voting.

The defectors want a longer time, past 4/30/25, so that the automatic 1% spending cut kicks in.

Which doesn't happen. Except in the minds of the faithful alt-right and their leader, DJT. There are laws on the books that prevent this.
So, Republicans, after having no evidence presented of massive voter fraud or millions of undocumented immigrants voting, back a show pony bill
that will give what they believe legitimacy. Sorry, it don't work that way.

If the government shuts down, Republicans will be blamed for it....in an election year. Last night's debate disaster and then a government shutdown

Not a good look 8 weeks before an election.

They do. They just do not have the gravitas to make the tough choices that need to be made. For they will take the blame for the results of the lowering of our living standards which we do not want to admit to.

Translation, they need to add more Republican friendly pork to get it passed.

Staying true to form of the gutless, spineless pussies that he and most of the GOP caucus are.
