History appears to be repeating itself this week as Congress has brokered an agreement on a massive year-end catch-all spending bill...
“It’s a total dumpster fire. I think it’s garbage,” GOP Rep. Eric Burlison of Missouri, who is a member of the conservative Freedom Caucus, said. “...people that celebrate DOGE [Department of Government Efficiency] coming in, and yet we’re going to vote for another billion dollars to be added to the deficit. It’s ironic,” added the lawmaker, who probably meant to say trillion dollars, given the legislation would fund the entire government until March 14....
Fellow Freedom Caucus member Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona, added, “This week we’re supposed to vote on a continuing resolution...because we can’t do an annual budget...."
Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina posted on social media platform X, “We do this every year … the manufactured ‘government shutdown’ crisis so everyone can get everything into an omnibus...
Sean Davis, CEO of The Federalist, wrote, “Stop calling it a CR. It’s a massive K Street Christmas tree omnibus with giveaways to every special interest in Washington, D.C.”...

When Trump gets in, he should make it clear that he wants an actual budget and will veto any attempt at more continuing resolutions. We need to stop dicking around.
396 days til $40T debt. What could go wrong?
Trump has his head on straight. But he did not veto a single major spending bill during his first term in office. That’s got to change, obviously. It’s past time to play hardball.
If conservatives are furious, they should vote no.
I’d rather donate to Mercury One again than accept the $100B in “relief” tied to a $1T crapnibus. This is PROOF they don’t care about us at all — not our grocery bills, not our gasoline prices, not our heating bills. They are a bunch of insulated, elitist scum, and hopefully, some of them can have enough dirt dug up on them to get them expelled from the House.
The grifters in both parties do not want the gravy train to end, so they are pulling out all the stops to block Trump from cutting spending even though huge majorities of voters (from both parties) support this.
There are at least two dozen Republicans who represent districts that rely heavily on "welfare for white people" just to stay in business.
If these "conservative" House members really have a problem with it, they should just vote against it and let the chips fall where they may.
“When Trump gets in, he should make it clear that he wants an actual budget and will veto any attempt at more continuing resolutions. We need to stop dicking around.”
The reason that the controlling party often loses the midterm election is because the regime supporters are disappointed, they don’t get the sweeping corrections they want. That’s because regardless of who is in charge of the government, they are dealing with hundreds of individuals who are on a spectrum which largely doesn’t align with the ruling regime’s stated positions. The party faithful then punish the regime by not voting at all or supporting an alternative set of candidates. This happens over and over because voters don’t realize the reality of trying to do what they want.
The only two worth their salt.
He wont have to worry about reelection.
He can go after EVERYTHING.
But the no spines do have to worry about reelection.
Imagine what could be done with an entire lame duck R senate, house and presidency?
That Massie dude has made a career out of sanctimoniously complaining about government spending, but he has never once done a damn thing about it when he was in a position to do something. Voting against House bills that pass by 425-5 margins is a pointless exercise in self-aggrandizing futility.
BTTT
GOP doesn’t mean conservative.
The swamp exists on “welfare for white people.
SSDD, every year in DC no matter whom wins.
If these “conservative” House members really have a problem with it, they should just vote against it and let the chips fall where they may.
THIS. THIS. THIS is the answer. Be strong and take courage and do the right thing. Anything else -ANTHING else - is simply enabling.
It seems the only time they align is when they are demoncrap controlled. They can raise more hell and spread more crap than a cat can cover in nine lives. Three steps backward and then the repooblicans come along and make a half-hearted semi-advance maybe one step in recovery. They all live in a bubble of a mythical fairy tale world inside the beltway. If not when they get there soon after. DC is infected with poison to all of us.
Feeding K street and keeping the lobby dole to their campaign funds is all that matters to them. They justify that by saying they can only do the "people's work" if they are elected and it takes money to do that. I guess that makes them feel less guilty for selling us away somehow.
GOP has the look of meaning closer to nothing.
