I hope Trump comes out guns blazing (rhetorically speaking) against this act of arrogance and spineless grifting. I hope he raises such hell that they are forced to stay and do more accountable funding bills.
These Stadiums bring in millions of dollars to the area in which they are located. It’s an investment.
“Rutherford” is a great nickname for Johnson, though I don’t know the path you free-associated. Maybe Rutherford B. Haze?
Trump’s appointees need abolutely to toe the line, show restraint and not spend inefficiently. They need to let their departments be stronly influenced by DOGE.
Just because one has a fat bank account doesn’t mean you have to spend all the money.

VACATE THE DANG CHAIR

“Why isn’t the shipping company that slammed into the Francis Scott Key bridge paying for its repair?”
Good question!
My guess — their insurance company is fighting the claim. Or at least dragging it out.
continuing resolution is badly named.
Its not just about the pork which is bad enough, there is also a bill inside this pile of garbage that does NOT allow anyone to go after any member of congress even if they committed a crime, so Schiff and Swallwell who both leaked classified intel to the media wont have to face ANY penalties for that
“Why isn’t the shipping company that slammed into the Francis Scott Key bridge paying for its repair?”
Don’t disagree. But it will take 10-15 years for the bridge collision to play out in the courts. Better to get going on the new bridge now, than wait a decade or more for the final settlement, if there is one.
You cannot expect Mike Johnson to stop the Scratchy Scratchy.
It has become a cruel joke when a congressperson declares they control the purse strings. This sure looks like the State department, NGOs and bureaucrats control spending. Man up Congress!
Washington DC is now officially known as Pork City
Where all get a shot to whack the kickback cash democrats most noted.
Joey winks.
Called my Congressman: “DO NOT VOTE FOR THE 1,500 PAGE MONSTROSITY”
A continuing resolution? NO, just another jam-packed onmibus spending bill.
One that not only contains outrageous spending but also apparentl has regulations aimed to prevent the future reduction in the size of goverment.
We still don't know who was piloting that ship. Since it was still in the harbor, the harbor pilot should have been in control. What are they trying to cover up? Are they stretching the timeline to report who was piloting it until someone in the chain of command retires?
Is the pilot a relative of a powerful politician?
Did the pilot fail a drug test?
Was the pilot a Didn't Earn It (DEI) hire?
Did the pilot turned the ship over to the foreign crew before the ship left the harbor?
"You got it bro. Just go under that bridge right there."
