It appears that GOP leaders might actually be completely unfit to be calling the shots in Washington. Everyone in America knows that the Republican Party has control of the White House, the Senate, and House of Representatives, yet there is still serious talk about an impending government shutdown. Earlier today, President Trump tweeted that America needed a good shutdown to fix the ailments in Washington. The people of this nation are considerably frustrated by the gridlock and inability of Republicans to make progress with matters like healthcare, the spending bill, tax reform, etc. Placing the blame on Democrats wont work when Republicans have majority control.

..........the ninth circuits paychecks will bounce and there is NOTHING they can do about it! They cannot order the Government, or anybody else, to spend money they don’t have!
Is it really a good strategy to announce your attack plan 4 months out? You can bet the Rats are preparing the court challenges right now and Ryan gang in the Tuesday group is probably helping.
Anyone that needs to use 4.5 billion pages to do a continuing resolution to keep the bloated federal government running for less than half a year should be dragged behind a tractor through 600 acres of cactus.
Yes, that’s every single member of congress and their lobbyist overlords.
The entire thing could have been done on a few dozen pages. List the departments and the budgets per department, list the non-departmental projects that can’t wait until the next fiscal year. total them up on the last page.
More pages = less accountability, fewer freedoms, more fraud and abuse, and more unnecessary pork. This abomination is Exhibit “A” of why we’ll never again have a government that is responsive to the taxpayers.
“The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services, a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.”
- US Constitution, Article III, Section 1

MIGHT be INCOMPETENT? ....like water might be wet? How about GOPe=DNCe?
They are not.
They are uniparty. Our “leadership” is all uniparty.
“They are working for lobbyists and acting stupid is they only reasonable way to pretend they are not.”
So true, and its what makes their arrogance especially regurgatory. Media: same thing.
No likely about it. The leadership, of both parties, are corrupt as hell.
We got Trump in, but the rest of them are the same idiots as before. Change comes slow...
Might? That’s generous.
u make a good point but Article III, Section I ASSUMES there is money in the treasury to pay the judges and does not address what happens when the country has no money in it’s checking accounts.
It’s only a matter of time until U.S. Treasury Checks bounce!
The sooner the better. Then, the government will be forced to spend ONLY that cash which it has available since our legislature and democracy itself are broken by corruption at all levels.
The GOP is corrupt for certain but in addition they could be incompetent. The fact that they during the con tinning resolution fiasco didn’t throw the base a tiny little morsel of Trump’s agenda for cover shows how stupid and in the globalist clutch they really are. Paul Ryano has got to go.
MIGHT???
BWAHAHAHAHA
It’s worse than incompetence. The liberals have infiltrated the Republican party. There is a reason they are called RINOs.
Republican leaders planned on Hillary winning. She didn’t. Now, they don’t know what to do. They didn’t realize that despite all the fraud and media/DNC coordination, the outsider was going to win. They underestimated the anger of the American people.
Their reaction should be to regroup and respect the public’s statement, but they are beholden to their greatest globalist donors so they won’t.
Back in 1987 there was a tee vee special entitled “Amerika”. A scene in that mini series is rooted in mind. This was after the invaders found themselves in the halls of congress. I’ll not go into details but to say ‘the image certainly was inspiring’ and the members of congress felt themselves to be far more important than the invaders opinion of them.
They are not incompetent because betraying the people who voted them in is their goal and they are very good at it. We need a new party. And not some BS party like Reform.
As long as the feds can borrow or print (or the electronic equivalent of print), checks won’t bounce. The same number of dollars might be worth less, but they’ll be there.
Truth is, Chinese or Arabs or even Japanese, etc, trust their own governments less than the US government, as well they should given history. That means the US dollar will retain value far past what seems like a breaking point.
