Shut it down then beetch....

I have to say- Marc Molinaro has seemingly grown a pair the past couple of months- i like the feisty attitude of the usually cowardly Congressman from NY.

2/3 are not going to suspend the rules, so it will have to go through the Rules Committee and then back on the floor, wonder if that will be done tonight

Hakeem drives a hard bargain. Shut it down and let’s let the non-essentials self identify for DOGE.

One would certainly hope not.

Shut it down for the Christmas holiday, then for New Year’s.

Tell everyone to just go home. Let the new congress take it up.

Good. Shut the mess you call “government” down. Flush it. Burn the residue to ashes. I suggest the Beltway bureaucrats go find something productive to do with their existence. Something that adds to our world. Perhaps a trade?

I thought the Republicans had a majority.

By all means shut it down. Send all “non-essential” employees home. Then fire them.

Yeah, it isn’t like anything matters until the new Congress takes over, so everybody go home until then.

Has Hakeem talked to his antisemitic uncle whom he strongly defended years ago?

Interesting. I thought the repugs had the majority. If the Speaker can’t get all his troops to vote the right way, he’s worthless.

The GOP is playing the old game played by Romney and McCain.

Spend like wild crazed drunks for the Dems and Joe Biden, and when a Republican President comes in, they suddenly are concerned with tracking and scrutinizing every dollar when their only goal is stopping the Conservative agenda.

If they cared about money, why did they vote for all Biden’s Trillions? Why did they vote to not have Ukraine’s funding audited?

This is about stopping Trump.
