Funding continuing resolution

[UltraChad]

How else would Dick Cheney make money off it?

JFC...are you seriously that naive?

Do you think someone at the literal top of the food chain and king shit of the military industrial complex for 4 decades, multi billionaire......only has one source of income, from just one of his many businesses and investments??

Are you old enough to be on the internet??? Or just genuinely fucking retarded???

You mentioned Cheney, and Halliburton is the only business with which his name is particularly associated. Yes, all MIC execs can make money off the Ukraine war -- but most of them are Republicans.

OMG you're ignorant as fuck.....

 

[Politruk]

It's really not gonna be a hopeful sign for the coming admin, if Trump causes a government shutdown before he takes office.

 

[BAstoicguy]

Is DOA.............thank God. Fucking pork filled abortion that it was.

The wailing shall commence for this is the gotcha moment. When the American people discover that he has cut off all of their promised benefits and free stuff (like college), they are going to throw a fit and do things like mostly peacefully riot and maybe, petition Congress, and sue to get the election overturned and I hear Alvin Bragg needs something to do suddenly to save his job. So yes. This was the first defining moment of his Presidency (since Notre Dame and Army-Navy) and the beginning of the great unraveling. I look forward with anticipation to times most interesting.

Do you not foresee great unrest and buyer's remorse already settling in as the people realize, "I'd rather be drinking with President Harris?"

 

[BAstoicguy]

Political tennis match. It first reminds me of ping-pong diplomacy and then it reminds me of million-dollar wounds and Jenny. It was only resolved in death.

 

[Politruk]

It's not our fight, not our problem

Don't ever talk like a 1930s isolationist.

 

[UltraChad]

Don't ever talk like a 1930s isolationist.

Says the warmonger LOL

Or what you'll send the fucking army to liberate me from my property?? LOL this isn't 1920 Russia you fucking psycho.

 

[coati]

That's the attitude that gets Trump and Trumpers in office.

Keep it up

Yes, we will keep it up.

Until you no longer get your monthly welfare distribution, Commie.

 

[ChloeTzang]

The CR is much the same as the delusional "border bill." RINO's and grifters not reading the room. Their time is up. Johnson isn't strong enough to be a great speaker - he was a compromise candidate from the get go and that shows, but it looks like he can be trained, and he needs to get with the program.

Just shut the govt down until February if they can't be sensible and get with the program.

 

[BAstoicguy]

Agreed. Time to get rid of Milhouse...

 

[UltraChad]

Yes, we will keep it up.

Until you no longer get your monthly welfare distribution, Commie.

I don't get any monthly welfare distribution. (D)umbass.

I actually provide value to society, that's why I don't vote Democrat.

An unelected beauracrat making decisions for the government.

Obviously this is the way that the right wants things to be.

Yeah, AFTER DonOld and the MAGAt republicans made PROMISES (told lies that they would accomplish MAGICAL things) to the POPULIST workers in a desperate bid to get elected and avoid criminal consequences / accountability, the POPULIST workers WILL be RIGHTFULLY / RIGHTEOUSLY angry WHEN the MAGICIANS are revealed to be frauds and grifters as they betray their PROMISES (lies) to the POPULIST workers with EVERY policy (law OR executive order) decision. (And when they turn the federal government into a TOTAL chaos clown show circus with shutdowns, etc.)

We. Told. You. So.

Enjoy. The. Show.

It's just a matter of when, not if, the GOP will crash the American economy, as they did in 2008.

This time, there will be a much bigger run on the banks.

 

[Lazaran]

From a statement California Democratic congresswoman Judy Chu just released:

With the ink barely dry on a bipartisan deal between Speaker Johnson and Congressional Democrats to fund the federal government and provide relief to natural disaster victims all over America, self-designated President Elon Musk – an unelected billionaire and world’s richest man – ordered a government shutdown that will hurt working people all across this country. Donald Trump, Speaker Johnson, and House Republicans heard their marching orders and reneged on a deal that would avert a government shutdown and help disaster victims from California to North Carolina, Florida to Vermont.

What she ^ said.

Better a pork-filled abortion than a government shutdown.

What would be the problem with a government shutdown?

 

[Politruk]

We've had them before. They're always nasty. They're always regrettable. There is no upside.

Tell me you don't know fuckin' shit about the 2008 crash without saying you don't know fuckin' shit about the 2008 crash.

 

[Politruk]

Now Trump wants the debt ceiling scrapped.

???????????

 

[Lazaran]

BWAHAHAHAHA…HA…

DonOld demands that the debt ceiling be raised or eliminated.

MOAR SPENDING!!!

I think the worst provision in it was the 40% pay raise for Congress. To the tune of $69,000 more pay for each member.

Tone deaf doesn't even describe it. The public is hurting because of their fucked up fiscal policies and they want to give themselves a raise? That's not tone deaf, it's highway robbery.

The pay raise in question is NOT "40 percent" (as a hyperventilating Elon Musk claimed and his toady Derpy dutifully regurgitated) but a 3.8% Cost Of Living Adjustment (COLA) for Congress, which has not had a pay raise since 2009, which is paltry compared to the massive new welfare funding for American farmers.

The measure also included $21 billion in disaster relief for farmers and $10 billion in economic\ assistance for farmers, along with a one-year extension of the farm bill

Piggy Farmers Want More Federal Aid....Just Because

Yep.

I was all over that in post #12.

Derpy immediately left the chat…



Side note:

The farmers getting the pork seems appropriate…

 

[Politruk]

If the the government is shut down when Trump takes office, that's gonna put a serious crimp in his plan to be a Day One dictator.
