On the brink of a federal government shutdown, the House on Saturday swiftly approved a 45-day funding bill to keep federal agencies open as Speaker Kevin McCarthy dropped demands for steep spending cuts and relied on Democratic votes for passage to send the package to the Senate.

The new approach would leave behind aid to Ukraine, a White House priority opposed by a growing number of GOP lawmakers, but the plan would increase federal disaster assistance by $16 billion, meeting President Joe Biden’s full request. The package was approved 335-91, with most Republicans and almost all Democrats supporting. the bill.

With hours to go before the midnight deadline to fund the government, the Senate was also in for a rare weekend session and prepared to act next.

Agreed. I believe the only way this insanity stops is unfortunately with total monetary collapse.

This is why we need a GOPer in the WH and majorities both houses.

The Dems always win at double-dare because they care so little about our fine Country and our wonderful Citizens.

There is no downside for them.

Even when we have it all, President and both houses, the Dems still manage to get everything they want. Our party caves all the time with the help of Rino House Speakers and Senate Majority leaders. Paul Ryan, McConnell sold Bush and Trump down the river.

No such thing as a rino or gope. This is what they do and believe, this is the republican party. Don't expect anything different. The only forces that will bring change is the bond market. R's and D's have bankrupted this country.

The Federal Government now spends more money on Social Security, Medicare, interest on the National Debt, and defense than it collects in taxes. So without cuts to those categories, even if the government totally eliminated all other spending, the budget still wouldn't balance.

Same here, a crystal ball somehow telling us that Cowardly Kevin would capitulate on EVERYTHING that’s most important for the country, the Constitution and American families in the heartland. Especially on the border. Cowardly Kevin made a pretence of standing up for Americans and conservatives for a while but right in line with predictions, he knuckled under like the cowardly RINO traitor he really is. Complete, groveling capitulation to the Demonrats, Gates and Soros and the Open Border movement that’s engaged in an active invasion to replace us and flood the US with crime and drugs right now, every single day.

No cuts, none, and not one single cent to protect the US border to even slow down the active invasion that’s pouring in right now, attacking our homes, schools and businesses. every. single. day. We are literally being invaded by the deadliest and most violent drug cartels in the modern world, the most powerful criminal gangs and thousands of people every day, but Kevin Mccarthy couldn’t find one single dollar in his sad little capitulation to get to the border and fight invasion. And it’s hitting everywhere in the US now, even the smallest and safest towns in the South and Midwest.

When we were growing up, our hometowns and family villages in Florida and South Carolina were so safe we never had to worry about locking our homes or cars. Even just 3 years ago they were safe enough to do this. But the invasion of gangs, criminals, cartel mules and thieves across the border has been so bad, in the last 3 years alone that even our quiet sleepy towns are getting overrun with crime, and overflowing with fentanyl and meth.

The Republicans in Congress this session were elected mainly for one reason, to fight for border security and stop this invasion. But traitor Kevin and his RINO’s knifed us in the back yet again. Nothing for the border, and all the towns and cities already being overwhelmed will get flooded even more. And he even goes over our heads to get his votes from the Demonrats, and insults our actual conservatives to get it passed. Kevin even went soft on the Biden impeachment inquiry, it’s clear now he’s deliberately sabotaging it so that he and his fellow RINO’s will keep getting their sweet bribes.

To Republicans in the House, this is the last straw, even worse since it’s coming right off Cowardly Kevin’s previous capitulation on the debt ceiling. Do your jobs, now, and start the process to get Cowardly Kevin out as House Speaker. NOW. The only tiny consolation from this is Kevin’s bill only funds the government for around a month, so we’ll have another crack at a real victory on the budget soon enough, but we’ll only have a fighting chance if Kevin is out of the picture as the House Speaker. This was the whole point of the rules change at the start of this session. If the House GOP can’t even move quickly to remove an obvious traitor like McCarthy, then the Republican Party has officially lost it’s usefulness as a political party in any form.

It’s not a party of the American people, not a party of the Constitution and certainly not a party for conservatives. It’s nothing but a bunch of spineless sell-outs and RINO traitors led by Cowardly Kevin. Conservatives won’t be casting a single vote for such a spineless, traitorous party and it’s better for it to burn to the ground with a true conservative party rising from the ashes if that’s the case.

If the GOP has any hope of staying viable, then the Senate Republicans need to filibuster this spineless, treasonous surrender from Cowardly Kevin and his fellow traitors. And the House needs to start the process to remove this traitor from office, so that when the next budget battle starts likely later in October, we’ll have a real leader leading us to face down the Dems, who won’t give in on the cuts or especially on the border. No more excuses for inaction, and no more chances, it’s do or die for the Republican Party now.
