• Last-minute deal: The House has passed a stopgap funding bill just hours before a midnight deadline to avert a federal government shutdown. It now heads to the Senate for approval.
• What’s in the deal: The latest plan would extend government funding into March and includes disaster relief and farming provisions, but does not include a suspension of the debt limit, which President-elect Donald Trump has been demanding that Republicans address.

We’ll see if it passes.
It will.
What’s going to pass? Do they have to vote for it to find out what’s in it again?
Who will be the brave person to wake up Sleepy Joe to have him sign it?
How much pork did it take to get enough Democratic votes???

How can we tell if the spending bill passes, even if we turn of the news?
We feel it as a pain in our wallets.
They say the only constants are death and taxes.
Death stays pretty much the same but taxes go up whenever Congress is in session.
Who could read it? It was the page total of War and Peace times two.
Debt limits are conservative but not MAGA. Do not put limits on PDJT.
You miss the point.
Democrats pass laws to allow Democrat
bureaucrats to make policy, so the congress has no idea
other than party policy how it will turn out.
Congress is supposed to make policy and be held accountable
for their decisions.
Democrats don’t like being held accountable.
Pork fat. Show me the bacon!!!
Oink!
A Presidential auto-pen.
So, if not an auto pen, who is going to wake Joe Biden up to sign the thing? His bedtime is 8:00 pm, but he stops work at 3 or 4.

Damn! I wanted the government to shut down. It would prove we don’t need it anymore than we did in 1776… when there was none.
I’m with you
I was also voting for a shut dowm
