House Rejects Trump's Gov Funding Bill As Shutdown Nears

The House shot down a new funding bill endorsed by President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday, marking the latest failed spending bill proposal this week as a potential government shutdown looms.

Comments

"The House voted 235-174 against the bill, with 38 Republicans crossing the aisle and voting "no" alongside Democrats.

The new measure sought to maintain government funding until March 14 and suspend the debt ceiling for two years"a measure Trump demanded to be included in the bill.

Trump, who opposed the previous funding bill disputed by Congress early this week over the lack of a debt ceiling measure, lauded the new agreement in a Truth Social post, urging Republicans and Democrats to vote for the bill."

Awww, poor Orange Lewzer!

Democrats emerged from a closed-door meeting Thursday uniformly opposed to the bill and furious at Republicans for going back on the initial deal.

"To come back with this proposal which demolishes loads of significant things that were in the agreement, is an affront and an insult especially because they didn't even consult our leadership," said Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.).

The revised bill was also insufficient for some conservative deficit hawks, with Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) among the bill's opponents."

When Deficit Hawks are a dying breed in your Party. And your Party Leader is criminal traitor.

- Why don't Democrats want to help Hurricane victims?

Puling Lumper.

'
"Donald Trump suffered a humiliating setback on Thursday when Republicans in Congress failed to pass a pared-down spending bill " just one day before a potential government shutdown that could disrupt Christmas travel.

By a vote of 174-235, the House of Representatives rejected the Trump-backed package, hastily assembled by Republican leaders after the president-elect and his billionaire ally Elon Musk scuttled a prior bipartisan deal.

Critics described the breakdown as an early glimpse of the chaos to come when Trump returns to the White House on 20 January. Musk's intervention via a volley of tweets on his social media platform X was mocked by Democrats as the work of "President Musk".

"The Musk-Johnson proposal is not serious," Hakeem Jeffries, the House Democratic leader, told reporters. "It's laughable. Extreme Maga Republicans are driving us to a government shutdown."

interesting how leftists scum are silent for the most part about the truth of biden's mental incompetency

and just how long the worthless lying cess pool dwellers lied about it.

interviews with 50 people including current and former white house personnel

talk about how he was failing even in his first few months in office.

--but trump trump trump fails....for now....in keeping one of his campaign promises.....one he got elected for...

"you people" are f/g nuts.

SO today, almost Pres Drumpf is blaming Biden... for a coming gov shutdown.

How simpleminded does someone have to be to believe anything he says?

He's worse than child at it, and like a child, thinks he won't get caught.

Melania should send him to bed tonight with no Big Mac dinner... were she anywhere near him.

:The US is hours away from a government shutdown unless Congress agrees on a spending plan. The House failed Thursday to pass a new Donald Trump-backed GOP proposal to fund the government into March, ratcheting up the threat of a shutdown ahead of the midnight deadline.

New strategy: In a last-minute bid to avert a shutdown, House GOP leaders are now eyeing a strategy that would allow lawmakers to take separate votes on funding the government and raising the debt limit. GOP members are expected to meet this afternoon to discuss the latest proposal, according to lawmakers and aides.

Trump weighs in: The president-elect said Friday morning that if there has to be a government shutdown, he wants it to occur while Joe Biden is president. Trump tanked an original bipartisan deal unveiled Wednesday."

"At the White House, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre lashed out at Republicans who had agreed to a bipartisan deal and then abandoned it.

"This is a mess that Speaker [Mike] Johnson created, that is his mess to fix," she told reporters at the daily briefing, adding that there was "still time" for Republicans to "do the right thing."

www.washingtonpost.com

That's SO otherworldly.... Mikey folded to Trump's pressure to kill the bipartisan bill, then Trump's mouthpiece blames Mikey?

Oh, wait... his Base is stupid enough to believe anything he says, so.

For whom did you vote for to represent you in the upcoming Congress.

Are you admitting that you voted for someone you do not trust?

Yes! The politicians, and the libbies here that approve of this, love their pork and couldn't care less that it is adding to our national debt.

MSG thinks it's great to fire thousands of government employees in order for Elon Musk and Donald Trump to receive a tax break.

Jesus would've cried

But Trump and Musk laughing all the way to the bank

Good job MSG! You're a stupid pawn of the billionaires.

You idiot.
