Fundies Freak Out Over Budget Bill, World Ends Friday!

House conservatives are already hammering away at the $1.2 trillion spending package congressional leaders unveiled overnight, airing their grievances as the chamber races to vote on the legislation ahead of Friday's partial shutdown deadline.

Some on the right flank are now aiming their fire directly at Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and his leadership team, blaming him for cutting a deal with Democrats on the spending bill and slamming top lawmakers for being "afraid of a shutdown."

Comments

"It's total lack of backbone, total lack of leadership, and a total failure by Republican leadership. There's no other way to describe it," Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) said on Steve Bannon's "War Room" podcast Thursday morning.

"This bill is an abomination."

Criminal Traitor Steve Bannon expounds:

"Former White House aide Steve Bannon issued a stark warning for Republican lawmakers to vote against the latest government funding deal as Congress races to pass the legislation ahead of Friday's partial shutdown deadline.

"And I got to tell you, this deficit in this budget is outrageous. It's going to be over $2 trillion " mark my words " going to be over $2 trillion," Bannon said Thursday on his "War Room" podcast.

"And this is why it's got to be fought, it's got to be stopped now."

"We're going to hamstring " all these people say, Oh, we need a bigger majority, we need to take the Senate, we need to get President Trump back in,' " you're going to hamstring President Trump on his economic plan," he said. "You're going to hamstring that plan by passing this budget.

We got to fight and you've got to tell people, Hey, you vote for this, you're done " I'm done with you.'"

"I don't care what good they've done in the past this is signal, not noise," he continued, adding later, "You got to hit them with both barrels today, this thing needs to be stopped, needs to not be brought. They're breaking the rules."

Told you the howling sh*tgibbons would all come out from under their rocks over this.

Bannon should be rotting in prison right now.

Hey magats...Bannon stole millions from you instead of building the wall and fat nixon pardoned him.

He didn't pardon your J6 terrorists.

They can have their shutdown. All they got to do is remove the speaker while these budget deals are coming up. Nothing gets done until a new speaker is elected.

The hypocrisy is just dripping with the so called Freedom Caucus. No problem whatever with budget restraints while they have the majority. They can spend, spend, spend, while at the same time reduce taxes on the rich. This idea of paying attention to spending is nothing but political theater until both parties get serious about it. As it is, the deficit is unlikely to ever be paid off.
