Just as long as Liz and company face justice, I'm good. Merry Christmas!

[Thomas Jerome]

I feel a good screwing coming on. I hope I have plenty of lube.......

Now Trump’s having to call the shots for two branches of government.

[Tommy Revolts]

So grateful to see some common sense and leadership back in control. Thank you President Trump.

[Digger]

No signing w/o 72 hrs to read.

Why does it “need Democrat votes”? Are Roy and Massie being ass clowns?

[cowboyusa]

Bill is falling short, shut it down and blame the Democrats, make them eat it.

[11th_VA]

Yes - voting now to suspend the rule; 10 republican nay votes so far; I guess it’s dead

[onona]

This is so funny to see Trump calling the shots before he even gets into office.

And very welcome as well.

DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN

[CaptainK]

12 Repukes already voting Nay. Dem’s ducks all in a row as usual with Nays.

[CaptainK]

Now it’s 19 Repukes Nays.

[11th_VA]

Hope they have a plan C … Maybe wait til Jan 3 for the new congress

[SeekAndFind]

Some features of this resolution

- Clean 3-mo CR
- Clean farm bill pkg
- Disaster aid for victims of hurricane and wildfire - $110B
- Clean health extenders w/o complicated PBM (Pharmacy Benefit Managers) reform
- Paygo scorecard wiped to zero
- 2-yr suspension of debt limit to Jan 2027
- No E15 ( a blend of 10.5% to 15% ethanol and 85% gasoline )

[HYPOCRACY]

Good. Now the Repubs can scream that we had a bill. Trump endorsed it and the dems shut it down. Like they did for that pile of crap border bill. And we get no new spending. Win/win.

[11th_VA]

Wow - 25 Republican Nay votes …

[cowboyusa]

Trump needs to use Impoundment, and then let it go to Scotus.
