I no longer see any point or purpose to representative government.
These people are stupid. And corrupt.
And they are a disgrace to the Republican party, and America itself.
All of them. Without reservation.
Just put the spending on autopilot. Swell.
Remind me again why I used to vote Republican?
I suspect they dislike the optics of them not working and receiving paychecks while others work and receive nothing. A better bill would be for them to join those not getting paid. That, more than anything, would probably end the shutdown. But pols on either side have never been known for logical or reality-based thinking.
I do not approve. I want more shutdowns, some of them permanent (Labor, HHS, Education, EPA, and many more). If it’s not a FedGov responsibility listed in the Constitution, it needs to die.
George Washington was prescient.
Why don’t they just pass law providing funding and approval for any spending requested by any citizen or group of citizens for any reason, ad infinitum, indefinitely, forever, until the end of time, without debate, and then just disband Congress.
Really.
Is there a way we can start a new country? Is the Vermont initiative still a thing? Could we take over, say, Kansas or parts of Texas or Montana?
Let me guess; the GOPe CUCK’s tied to the Chamber of Commerce are doing this.
We really need to get rid of these CUCK’s.
These are the @$$holes we send to Congress. Just keep kicking the can down the road.
This guy Mike Lee has been mentioned as a possible SCOTUS. Stay clear of him.
Alternative Headline:
We can’t and won’t do our job, so we’ll just ignore it.
The dumb voters will still keep electing us.
I thought the U S Senate went home until at least next Mon?
Cuckolds.
I called my Representative and requested he introduce a bill requiring my checks always be accepted as payment for my bills regardless of the amount of money I had in my checking account.
Alternate title; Several senators of the GOP, otherwise known as the party of inaction, have an idea to take away the last tool in the shed to prevent an important issue from being kicked down the road once again.
