The perpetual "Oh no, the Govt gonna Shutdown!" Thread, bought to you by the Wingnut LG

Serious work on the budget (LOL) or continuing resolution now wouldn't bring headlines like it will as it gets closer to the deadline.

Right now they can't even agree on a bill to cut funding to the IRS.

The only thing they are capable of is bring performative nonsense to the floor and Hunter Biden investigations.

When is the last time a budget delay was laid at the feet of the Democrats? They always seem to be placed in the position where the budget they want must be delivered to them else someone else is holding up the process.

My point is this is not a party problem. It’s a government and accountability problem.

We need to not pay our elected officials if they cannot fulfill one of their core responsibilities. Also need a balanced budget amendment. Also need to do away with Omnibus budget bills that get stuffed with pork. The madness needs to stop.

Oh, they are capable of bringing serious legislation to the floor. They just don't want to, gotta keep the audience entertained until the climax.

If there is a CR to keep the government open, does the MAGA crowd oust Johnson?

Or have they learned their lesson?

I am shocked.

LG was telling us all about how they just needed more time and the last time was for real that they were going to get serious and actually address the issue. too much to hope they actually fix it.

it should literally be the only thing on the ballot, or discussed, until it is addressed.

There's no way the maga crowd doesnt do all it can by stalling in Congress to set up to undermine the country for wwiii. They're just current day isolationists.

Isn't his doing this earlier why some Republicans said they voted McCarthy out?

Interference from foreign powers was one of the concerns our founding fathers had about our democratic government. The nazis had connections with the right wing isolationists in this country hoping to keep the us out of the war until the germans had consolidated and completed their european conquests. Is this association between maga and russia really that far fetched? Trump adored putin.

China is the biggest concern. And.... they've bought and paid for Joe.

China is Kissinger's biggest concern. He and Nixon are the ones who crafted the trade deal with them way back when, and now that china seems to have reneged on that deal, we have to get them, apparently for Kissinger's sake. Foreclosure with a gun just isn't a part of our morality. I think what were seeing from china is more of a test to see what our intentions really are, whether were really good people and whether well let china have some right of self determination or be a vassal state of ours. In any case, they're decades behind us in terms of military technology and dont really have any capacity to harm us, so....

The Freedom Caucus has announced it opposes his bifurcated CR plan, and so it appears that the only way it passes is with Dems voting for it. Schumer says it might pass the Senate with Dem votes.

Federal government shutdown news, House votes with funding expiring November 17

The House has passed a measure to fund the government until early next year, ahead of a Friday shutdown deadline. The bill now goes to the Senate.

Seems to me that is exactly what got McCarthy fired: any cooperation with Dems, at any level, for any reason, is verboten.

more like not finding a real solution is a problem. both sides are playing the political game here. This is why I was for the shutdown previously, because I knew we would be right back in the same situation; but no you and the politicians "had" to do something. and guess what none of the measures they implemented back in the summer have happened, no real talks have happened from either side. none will.

shut it down.

I lived through other 'shutdowns'. I couldn't tell any difference between a shutdown and operational government.
