I’ve heard these words but what does it mean exactly? Needed to end filibuster or something?

CLOTURE is the word that describes the procedure of ending a debate and forcing a vote.

Typical DC drama—lots of screaming, finger pointing, and arm waving—and at the end of the day everybody blames everybody else and the Leviathan trudges onward...

Government shutdown is an oxymoron.
Fedzilla doesn’t.

Yep…they shut us down for months. They can do the same - for longer.
To: Sarah Barracuda
Maybe during a shutdown they can’t increase taxes and fees. Maybe.
As the old saying has it:
The only constants in life are death and taxes.
Death stays pretty much stable but taxes go up any time Congress is in session.

For 9 specific budget items, filibuster is not allowed. This is NOT one of the budget items so 60 votes are required to end discussion (the filibuster) and vote where only a majority of votes are needed. I’m sure someone will correct me if I am terribly wrong.

PS: Cloture is an air raid warning for lobbyists. It causes them to load up their piggy banks and begin to purchase wavering congress Vermin. They take turns wavering. It pays off bigly.

The "essential" people in government will work, and will get paid.
The "non-essential" people will be sent home with no pay (but this will ALWAYS turn into a paid vacation as their pay will be returned to them after they spend their time at home doing nothing).
The whole thing is a joke. Like everything else.

This Bill is a CR to prevent US GOV Shutdown on 10/1/2021.
Pubbies have a version that has bi-partisan support but the Dems want their version to NOT pass so they can shut down the giver ment

This is the one with the debt limit suspension. If it passes the Rats will have the cover they need to ram-thru their $3.5t Mother of Socialism plan. Although it looks like that plan is anyway dead in the Senate.
