[g5000]

What a historic shit show.

A budget needs to be approved between now and January. Can you even imagine the histrionics and theater for the rubes which will be on display?

Miller-Meeks Statement on Speaker Vote and Death Threats​

​

Today, it became abundantly clear early in the roll call vote, that Jim Jordan still did not have the votes necessary to become Speaker. Given the concerns I had before any vote and the ability of the speaker designee to unify the conference, I voted in support of Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Kay Granger to serve as Speaker of the House. I voted for Chairwoman Granger because she has demonstrated great leadership this year by bringing forth, and passing, fiscally responsible, single-subject appropriations bills and is a staunch conservative.

However, since my vote in support of Chairwoman Granger, I have received credible death threats and a barrage of threatening calls. The proper authorities have been notified and my office is cooperating fully.

One thing I cannot stomach, or support is a bully.

To be fair, at last report, he's LEANING toward supporting McHenry. He wants to wait and see what the conference has to say first. Apparently, his campaign of intimidation..didn't work. No one is afraid of a man who's accomplished nothing in his Congressional career. And McHenry...doesn't look like he wants the job.

I am predicting they give the acting guy just a bit more power and pass another CR to take us in the next year

Jan 28, 2019 — The federal government shutdown cost the economy $11 billion, according to a new analysis from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Well at least they are not spending our money.

It cost us upwards of 30 million dollars a day for Congress to operate, so they are spending a lot of our money and doing nothing but pouting like children to earn it

What else is new.

Yes they are. It's already been appropriated.

Then why all the crying?

Of course. They have to pass a budget of some kind.

What remains to be seen is what other business will be able to be conducted.

But how much did it save the taxpayer?

Who is crying, other than Jordan?

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

Well at least they are not spending our money.

And they're also not working on a funding measure for the government, which is scheduled to shut down in a matter of weeks. Or an annual budget. Or determining funding for Ukraine or Israel...or anything else. This is beyond dysfunction...and it's not good no matter which way you slice it.

Fake News.

During any government “shutdown”, all essential positions keep working, while all the useless ones go home.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

not one red dime.

Every Fed Employee that had 39 days off got back pay for them all in one nice lump sump check.

You. Crying about a “shit show“ and what some imaginary “historians” will say.

The demented simp does even know what fucking day it is.

Which business? Is there some sweeping legislation we need passed that they were actually going to get passed between now and really ever regardless of who's speaker?
