Let’s just shut it down until January 20th. “ Lack of “ planning” on your part, does not constitute an emergency on my part.” And yes, I was waiting for Johnson to go full Eddy Haskell on “us”. What a twerp.

Absolutely. For once do the right thing. Let them scream

It’s nauseating… we need to pass all this spending that we’re supporting should be cut! And gosh, we’d sure hate not to be “ Home for Christmas.” TOUGH SHIT.

They should find out what funds FEMA still has but hasn’t deployed and then create a bill addressing what specifically they need. That’s bill 1. Bill 2: stop funding for Ukraine. Bill 3: fund a minimal govt to hold it over until a proper budget can be debated and voted on in the new Congress. All the rest can wait.

And let's be honest.....the federal government isn't doing much from now until Jan. 20th to begin with. It's the holidays!

Swamp is gonna swamp. 🤬these people are disgraceful and disgusting 🤮

SimulationCommander's avatar

Sounds like there won't be a vote today after all....which just means we the people have more time to pick apart the CR.

Fun fact: It takes 1 Congressman a long time to read 1500+ pages. It does NOT take thousands of motivated Americans very long at all.

Grok's summary is better than I would have predicted, other than the "conspiracy theorist" label. As to that rotten onmibus, I hope Thomas Massie and Rand Paul shut down the government before that goes through.

SimulationCommander's avatar

I did force it to admit that calling something a conspiracy theory because other people might leads to the weaponization of the term.

Then it did the exact same thing an hour later.

Joseph Kaplan's avatar

Where’s talk of an old fashioned filibuster?

Look how limited Grok is - not one mention of Gangster and Bonnie!

1- it's artificial, and 2- it's not intelligent.

Cindi's avatar

Johnson & Kemp are rino tools

SimulationCommander's avatar

That means Washington will do the same, a week or so later.

Cindi's avatar

And New Mexico

Because the cartels say so. And we all know who they own!!

Awful. I'm so grateful for an incoming Republican governor succeeding our current Republican governor.

On the other hand you don't want to know who my incoming Congresswoman is married to.

Owain Glyndŵr's avatar

I'd welcome an incoming Rep Governor (NTM Senator and Reps), of just about any stripe in my small state.

SCA's avatar

Statewide we've avoided disaster by a good margin. My own district however is otherwise. Bilious blue.

Bandit's avatar

I keep praying for "the big one" to jostle them off the continent, but it seems to keep missing. 😔😢😭

SCA's avatar

Well. I don't want anyone actually to be crushed to death. Prison and ignominy would be enough for me for every miserable miscreant.

If you read that link, they make it clear that this is all a scheme to slander and continue banning raw milk.

Melissa Fountain's avatar

They're certainly trying to leave us in a pretty mess. Thanks for this.

Looks to me like grok has your number!

Well, you know, there's always the week after Christmas when the adrenaline plummets and the ugly Christmas sweater from Auntie Gertrude gotta be returned and the electricity bill comes in. Trump winning the election was great but now we need a whole helluva lot more of winning.

I do feel that this time he's surrounded himself with men and women both who got sufficient stones in their dainties to face down all the spawnlings of Turtle Mitch, but they gotta be relentless.

Anyone ever see Lucy Caldwell on the talk shows? She's a lisping blonde Democratic operative who at first glance seems merely the usual tiresome sort, but lo and behold there was a recent Daily Mail Online expose about the nice little cabal of dirty tricksters planning antifa-style operations against any challengers to Biden's renomination this past summer. And our Lucy was one of the prime movers. And yet, strangely, she continues to be a guest on Howie Kurtz's Media Buzz Sunday morning show on FOX and to date he has not once asked her about them shenanigans, and I can tell you that post-election her bland little face has hardened remarkably in its expression.

There's going to be zero room for any Trump team strategy mistakes because the gangrene bacteria gonna attack every breach in the skin.

Amen basically, but just to Scrooge a bit:

- I don’t think Federal help for Americans still homeless months after the storms should be casually conflated with aid (i.e., subsidies) for farms and other businesses.

- I’m a little dubious about Chip Roy’s bona fides after seeing him often parrot standard “national security” (empire-building) talking points, even though he has called out some Ukraine spending

Chip Roy torches GOP senators who voted for Ukraine aid without border security: 'An abomination'

The only Ukraine-related spending I can find him in favor of is this:

The House greenlit a measure from Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) to allocate $20 million for a special inspector general to probe Ukraine assistance, if Congress creates the office. Defense policy legislation that cleared the House in July authorizes the post.

I did an edit just as you were replying to acknowledge that Roy has gone on the record questioning some Ukraine spending, but I don’t think he’s really against the overall project. I could be wrong. We’ll find out next year.

i think they just trashed it after trump and elon said it stunk. hope i read that correctly.

SimulationCommander's avatar

Elon is acting like it, but

1) I've seen nothing official at all

2) What they end up passing might be almost as bad. (Or worse, honestly.)

Cindi's avatar

Johnson seems to be in the Trump “inner circle”. That’s deeply concerning

Tardigrade's avatar

I had not seen the alternate plan B.

This is also the first I've seen it suggested that the delayed disaster aid was intentional, just for this purpose. Why does that not surprise me?

Dick Minnis's avatar

Any RINO who votes for this crap should be primaried in 2026. If you're to dense to understand that Trump has a mandate, and this is not part of it, then you're to stupid to be in Congress and that's a very low bar.
