So in your estimation the House will never be in session again?
I wish the military could get paid.
Why are republicans so afraid of the Epstein files?
***********
That’s what I want to know. Release it all.
The only thing I hate about shutdowns is that the military doesn’t get paid.
I’m waiting for Hegseth to shuffle some funds around, say instead of buying Ukraine missiles.
Because the Republicans would be forced to resign even if innocent while the Democrats would not.
I would suspect it will stay out of session until a new CR is passed. The same Epstein issue exists for a pending House member who has not been sworn in by the Speaker. That House member will be the vote that opens the Epstein files.
That's exactly right! I was an ADA Platoon Leader during the budget shutdowns in '77 & '78 (actually PL for both of our Chaparral platoons). I was a bachelor, so it was no big deal. However, we worked together to make sure our soldiers and families were taken care of.
During my 4 years in Germany, I became a conservative. There's something about being responsible for 40+ soldiers, and knowing it's your neck on the line when things don't go right. A seminal moment for me was when I flunked my first tac eval (ARTEP). It was a great learning experience that changed me forever. Actually, I became a real PITA, as my attitude was, "OK, I get it...if my neck is on the line, then stay out of my way and let me do my job."
Some superior officers liked my attitude, others not so much. lol
I don’t care about the maneuvers by Congress PAY THE MILITARY!
Republicans will pay dearly if it is seen as though they don’t mind making service members go without a paycheck.
Get over it. Your weird obsessions are of no concern to the rest of the country.
Insane.
instead of buying Ukraine missiles.Hegseth doesn't buy missiles. NATO buys the missiles and sells/gives them to Ukraine.
The Brilliance of Trump not using VanShuyten's/Hegseth's/taxpayer's money for funding Ukraine.
The next military payday is Nov 1, not Oct 15. So this is just posturing.
