U.S. House members must be high-fiving each other, slappin’ backs and telling themselves that they really know how to negotiate these deals.
It’s all just pure crap!
The House of Representatives has voted on a 45-day stopgap funding measure that reportedly will head off a potentially catastrophic government shutdown. The measure heads to the Senate, where it faces a friendlier audience.
This kind of government funding simply makes me sick!
Good government has no place in a House of Reps dominated by the MAGA-moron-club-of-kooks caucus within the Republican Party that boasts of being able to shut down the government if they don’t get their way on drastic spending cuts.
A much better way to run the federal government would be for all sides to come together and look for compromise. That’s not how Congress functions these days. The GOP majority is hanging by a shoestring. MAGA cultists keep threatening House Speaker Kevin McCarthy with his job if he doesn’t do their bidding.
The threat of a shutdown looms damn near all the time!
So, it appears Congress will set aside enough money to run the government for the next month and a half.
Then what? More of the same stubborn nonsense?
This is no way to govern!
