Washington (AP) — Congressional leaders are pitching a stopgap government funding package to avoid a federal shutdown after next month, acknowledging the House and Senate are nowhere near agreement on spending levels to keep federal operations running.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy raised the idea of a months-long funding package, known as a continuing resolution, to House Republicans on a members-only call Monday evening, according to those familiar with the private session and granted anonymity to discuss it.

On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said the two leaders had spoken about such a temporary measure. It would extend federal funding operations into December to allow more time to work on the annual spending bills.

We’re already $1.2 Trillion deeper in debt since McCarthy eliminated the debt limit. Just wait until December, that’s when the annual Omnibus bill is written and signed. McCarthy needs to removed as speaker and take some time off so he can complete his transition to female. He’s already had part of the surgery done.

I think the Republicans like the kabuki theater they participate in, every time one of these stopgap funding Bills rolls around. They like to see how much harder they can screw us.

A shutdown could disrupt all of those stupid indictments.

"They don't even give us a kiss before they eff us."

The least they could do is send us a tube of K-Y Jelly, or a tub of Vaseline.

I can’t wait to hear Congressman John James (R) MI, and Mike Flood (R) NE, go on Andrew Wilkow, and David Webb respectively to defend voting for raising the debt ceiling again. Mike flood was particularly uppity when it came to criticism on that vote. The temerity of the peasants.

Yea, verily.

The Admiral was deemed “mentally unstable” and thus ineligible for the “transition surgery” so he did a DIY in the hospital ER bathroom.

Yeah, that showed ‘em alright!

I’m so glad we never consider cutting Government spending. Can you imagine how helpless we’d be without Government bureaucrats? Money well (borrowed from China and) spent!!

I like MTG but Gaetz was right when he filibustered McCarthy’s promotion.

Our nation is being killed & buried alive by Satanists and McCarthy wants to keep the grift gravy train rolling.

No effort to begin the impeachment inquiries for “Biden” and Garland.

A pure scumbag.

It’s not McCarthy’s or the GOP’s $1,200,000,000,000. It’s our kids and grandkids. He doesn’t care about them. Only about himself and his family.

This is a kleptocracy.

Is what true? That McCarthy is nutless? I’d bet on it.
