"Congressional Democrats have vowed to vote against any spending plan paired with the SAVE Act. That means the bill would be dead on arrival in the Democrat-controlled Senate.
Trump, who is the Republican presidential nominee, said GOP lawmakers should be ready to shut down the government if the voter identification proposal is not in the spending bill."

Tor... you my be right about that; maybe those Repubs that are walking away from Trump's demands for a shutdown, because they might lose their jobs in Congress, are going to go from Cult Mode to Survival Mode and tell Trump to F off.

Trump losing in November will break the cult.
Trump winning in November will implement Project 2025.
51 days to go.
Best of luck!

That is all the GOP has these days. A complete loser for a leader and no plans other than monkeying up the works of the government to make the Demo's look bad. People do not buy that fat orange raping pig traitor anymore than they buy the Dems are the ones shutting down the government. Of course, these scumbag traitors in the GOP that do this crap are only trying to get reelected but one only has to look at what they accomplished these past two years to understand they do not deserve to serve again as they did nothing. Absolutely nothing to advance the country. Nada!

I guess Speaker Johnson hasn't figured it out yet. Trump has been using him like a rented mule.

Maybe Trump's full-frontal display of ignorance and buffoonery on Tuesday night made some Republican congress critters start questioning how much longer he's going to be around.

Trump's strategy, if hr can't win then burn it all down. Who should feel the heat from America? Judges wh delay Trump's trials and sentencing hearings. He should have been in prison bt now but they are corrupt judges.Biden should get the DOJ investigating those judges.If evidence of extra income or gifts of vale, as in Clarence, "Bought and Paid For", Thomas.

Shut down the country, lose the elections, plural, as there are a lot of down ticket elections going on November 5, 2024 as well as the Presidential election.

"The GOP opponents of the bill argue that it continues spending at levels they consider excessive. And some Republicans simply won't vote for any continuing resolution, arguing that Congress must return to passing its 12 annual spending bills separately rather than through the one or two catchall bills that have become the norm in recent decades."
So they're going to want cuts to food stamps and school lunches which make up less than a fraction of 1% of the annual budget.
Let them propose their spending cuts. Let them show the public what they think of people who can't survive on the pitiful wages they make. Let them show the spending cuts they want on veteran's benefits to show the military definitively they are nothing but props to them.

Memo to all GOP House members: There is an election coming up in two months. Your job is at stake. No need to remind the voters in your district what a failure you have been in the governance department. Your political opponents are doing this already, so there is no need to help them, unless you don't want your present job anymore...

Trump logic: well if the government is enforcing the law against me, I'll just have my cult shut down the government!

, LA ... and a Dem House & Senate.
Democrats don't play games with default as Republicans are so fond of doing with their juvenile gamesmanship.

Well, it looks as if I may get yet another 'unplanned for vacation'. Good thing my savings account is fairly flush, although that will set back my plans to get a new used truck by a bit...

One wonders if they actually will shut down the government to foster such chaos that Trump might somehow get back in. Usually, the American people find out who did what and vote out the idiots who refused to pay America's bills.

Every time I think that will happen Hugh, I always think back on what George Carlin said before he passed.
"Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups."
And if MAGA has proven anything in the last 5 years, it is this...

Honest question, have you read the contents of project 2025? If you have what are the parts you find most dangerous to society here in America?
Has anyone here read it? Same question, what are the parts you find most dangerous to society here in America?

I have read most of it. Start a thread on it and I will gladly answer your questions there on how Trumpy's project 2025 is designed to destroy our democratic institutions.
This thread is about republicans always complaining that government does NOT work then getting elected to positions of power and then setting out to prove it.
