11 thoughts on “Congress averts shutdown for 45 days after last-minute scramble

  1. Indiana’s U.S. Sen.Mike Braun (who wants to be our next governor) voted against keeping the federal government open. He was joined by 8 other MAGA Republicans.

    1. A real outlier, along with some true crackpots. Cannot find any news explaining his NO vote. I suppose he’s positioning himself as crazier than the other Republican candidates for Indiana Governor, which will help him in this uber deep red state.

    2. Braun’s just over his head in elected office. Maybe go back to being a businessman. Maybe that’s more his speed.

      Like I’ve said a zillion times before, the next time a Republican who is complaining about the deficit pares some proposed tax increases with their desire for spending cuts, I’ll take them seriously that they cares about the deficit all the time, not just when there’s a Democratic president. These same whiners cut revenue just a few years ago … and we are supposed to just forget that contribution to the problem?

      Best I can tell, we currently have government shutdowns because Republicans throw temper tantrums that they don’t get their way.

    3. That was just the Senate. Along with Mike Braun, four Indiana Republicans Members of the House of Representatives also would have shut down the government, including Jim Banks, Victoria Spartz, Rudy Yakym, and Greg Pence. These loonies should never be in charge of anything. Frankly, the Democrats had to save the crazy Republicans from themselves and save America. These Republicans are a dangerous menace

    4. The pro-Putin wing of the party hates America and democracy.

      “The bill has billions for Ukraine and nothing for the border!”

      Who said the bill had to have an either/or? Wait, that would be your own party.

      These folks must be a joy in their households, insisting everything is their way or it’s time for divorce…

  2. McCarthy finally acts as Speaker of the entire House of Representatives with a bi-partisan passage of a bill to temporarily keep the Government running ,better late than never . Maybe he is tiring of being the weak squeaker of the House of the MAGA cult republicans.

  3. No, Mikey, that was your boy McCarthy (aka Margie’s lap chihuahua), as he reached across the aisle to get the Democrats to save his a**** once again. Enjoy your soy latte, though, though after the clownish show this weekend, I think you will need something stiffer if you are going to keep being a cheerleader for the Repubs.

  4. Wasn’t that what Boebert was doing a couple weeks ago?

    Actually, that’s what Gaetz is now going to do to America the next few days … jerk us around and waste our time with “fire the Speaker!” tantrums because he didn’t get his way.

    Heck of a scene when a political party has decided they want to be inspired by authoritarians and terrorists.

    It’s all well and good to be tired of career politicians. However, they’re better than the replacement of social media addicts who will do anything for attention and who couldn’t handle the register at your average fast food restaurant without getting fired.
