Bad news awaits Republicans returning to DC

[C_Clayton_Jones]

“Remember back in July when Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) abruptly adjourned the House of Representatives for summer recess? The quick exit gave Republicans an escape from headlines about the Trump administration’s refusal to release files on Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased sex offender.

Now, Congress is about to return. And the Epstein drama is just one fire burning among many. As September begins, Republicans remain on the defensive, and this time they won’t be able to call a time-out.

The bottom line for congressional Republicans this fall is not governance but survival.

The hottest flame coming at them is the burning threat of an Oct. 1 government shutdown, unless there is a budget deal. Despite Republican majorities in both houses, the GOP has failed to pass next year’s appropriations, despite allowing government debt to reach record highs. To get a deal done, Republicans will likely need some Democratic votes. In exchange for their votes, the Democrats have demands in hand.”

The bottom line for Congressional Republicans is to reject sound, responsible governance altogether.

1. Epstein has played out. There are no girls to point fingers, so it doesn't matter anymore. Get it off your plate Mikey.

2. Agreed that we will either need to pass Appropriations Bills by 10/1 or they will need a CR, and in the Senate that means democrat votes or the "Nuclear Option". Go nuclear!

3. Nope. Politics just got "real". Can't reject sound governance, need to keep the democrats at bay with reasonable compromises, or go Nuclear.

OR, Republicans need to grow testicles and go Nuclear...a simple majority in the senate.
So either Chuckie agrees to reasonable face saving compromises, or Thune goes nuclear.

I'm looking forward to it.

We know you hate the U.S.A.

Why do you have to keep reminding us?

are there enough votes to pass the appropriations bill if they all vote for it?

 

[1srelluc]

Remember, the second bite at the reconciliation apple will also occur.....Have fun dems when that is shoved up you ass and you can do shit-all about it.

Perhaps, but at least they are returning to a safer town.

True. Then the Democratic DC establishment takes over again and it turns back into the sewer it was.

Sure, when the easy long-term solution would have been to hire and train an army of DC cops..

Not in the Senate

Of course that would have to be done by the mayor and city council, and you know those in charge aren't going to let that happen.

No one cares about Epstein. Democrats face prosecutions for the Russia fraud, Biden dementia cover up and auto pen scandal. They also face the fact that they are the party that defends criminals and illegals. They fought tax cuts for the middle class. I cant wait for the ads to come out before the midterms.

America will once again be held hostage by the liberals.

Yeah... when liberals can hold a majority Republican Congress with a Republican President and Republican Supreme Court hostage, you know there's a problem with the Republicans....

The Republican senate can fix that problem with a rule change eliminating the 60-vote filibuster and ushering sanity in with a simple majority. Assuming the RINOs would vote for it, i.e. Collins, Murkowski, McConnell.

 

[Auld Phart]

Not in the Senate

then if it doesn't pass, it's the democrats fault.
