So, they gonna dump his ass next week?
It would be a great thing for their opposition if they did.
Just stacks and stacks of evidence that they cant govern.
They get elected not to govern or legislate.
"Government never works, elect me and I will prove it to you."
God I hope not. I can’t believe I’m even saying that. He’s been better than I thought. But to be fair, I had the bar set so unbelievably low for him. He should get no credit for doing the bare minimum, but the bare minimum has been a lofty goal for Republicans in the House as of late.
Maybe the third time really is the charm!
What is this "for Biden"? He's the only one who benefits here? Not like, idk the American people? Lol wtf
Umm, for Biden to sign?
"it's a big club, and you ain't in it" - G.C.
Hurray they did the absolute bare fucking minimum. I sure am glad they get paid to barely keep the lights on.
Congress is such a joke.
Either dumb fuck christofascist moron with no bank account reneges on the deal AGAIN or the freedumb cockus will try and pull him. They’re there just to cause chaos and division after all
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Congress on Thursday sent legislation to avert a partial government shutdown to President Biden, racing to fund federal agencies through early March one day before money was to run out.
“Speaker Mike Johnson should walk away from his agreement with Senate Majority Leader Schumer and pass an appropriations package that meaningfully reduces spending year-over-year and secures our southern border,” the Freedom Caucus said in a statement.
Mr. Johnson has told his colleagues that he believes a shutdown could provoke an election-year backlash against Republicans, and that once one took place, it would prove difficult to bring to an end.
To overcome procedural objections to moving ahead quickly in the Senate, Mr. Schumer allowed Republicans votes on three proposed changes that would have effectively derailed the measure.
With the additional time, members of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees hope to push through the dozen bills funding the government according to the spending level agreed to by Mr. Johnson and Mr. Schumer.
Besides objections to the spending itself, far-right conservatives in the House are demanding the measures include restrictions on abortion and other limits on government authority that Democrats say they will not accept, setting up a showdown over those policy provisions.
