Jeffries slams House GOP’s government funding plan: ‘unserious and unacceptable’
The Hill ^ | 09/09/2024 | Mychael Schnell

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Monday slammed the GOP’s stopgap funding proposal as “unserious and unacceptable,” setting the stage for a close vote in the lower chamber on Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) gambit to avert a government shutdown.

Jeffries, in a letter to colleagues, said Johnson’s government funding legislation — which pairs a six-month continuing resolution with a Trump-backed bill to require proof of citizenship to register to vote, titled the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act — is “partisan and extreme.”

Jeffries zeroed in on the timing of the continuing resolution, arguing that a shorter stopgap would be better so Congress can hash out funding for fiscal year 2025 by the end of this calendar year.

“In order to avert a GOP-driven government shutdown that will hurt everyday Americans, Congress must pass a short-term continuing resolution that will permit us to complete the appropriations process during this calendar year and is free of partisan policy changes inspired by Trump’s Project 2025,” Jeffries said. “There is no other viable path forward that protects the health, safety and economic well-being of hardworking American taxpayers.”

Hakeem? Hakeem?
Something about that name rings a bell.
Oh yea, the most failed culture in the multiverse.

He's definitely got the talking points down.

Be patient, Rep. Jeffries. The GOP usually folds in matters like this. They fuss, and then they fold.

Then we conservatives are told not to worry. The budget will be balanced next time. Well, I’m still waiting for that “next time”.

I see no complaint about the CR other than the duration and the SAVE Act. Dare the dems to shut it down over the SAVE Act.

At every turn, in every way, democRATs and ONLY democRATs object to any measure that would enhance election integrity.

They’re cheaters, we know they’re cheaters, they know we know they’re cheaters, and they’re flipping us the bird.

If Johnson increased spending by $1 trillion, promised reparations to the descendants of slaves and a pathway to citizenship for illegal entrants, Jeffries would slam it as unacceptable and unserious.

In the 1980s, the democRATS under the execrable “Tip” O’Neill declared every Reagan budget proposal “dead on arrival”. DemocRATs have been socialists and traitors for decades.

Hakeem, point to the part of the doll where the SAVE Act hurts you.

Make sure we all unite in denying the Ultra Left Wing Dem premise that Project 2025 is Trump’s. That’s a classic and deceitful Straw Man argument and should be rejected before continuing any further discussion. Haven’t read it, might have some good ideas in it?

He’s the 2024 version of Barack Hussein Obama. Should be interesting seeing him try to shove out Newscum in 2028 as he was told he was the anointed one.

Should have been banned from American politics ages ago....they’re nothing but traitors and should be dealt with accordingly.
