Congress closing in on shutdown deadline with no clear plan

I know finance and economics.

Der Orange Bozo is headed in a very different direction.

And then hand out a $5K rebate to 190,000,000 workers would be like pouring liquid nitrogen into a fuel line.
Pouring liquid nitrogen into a fuel line would be extremely dangerous and potentially catastrophic. Liquid nitrogen is extremely cold, with a temperature of -196°C (-321°F). Introducing it into a fuel line could have several severe consequences:

1. Cryogenic Freezing: Liquid nitrogen would freeze any liquid fuel, causing it to solidify. This would block the fuel line and prevent the engine from functioning.
2. Material Damage: The extreme cold could cause the metal and other materials in the fuel line to become brittle and crack, leading to leaks and potentially severe structural damage.
3. Safety Hazard: The rapid expansion of nitrogen gas as it warms up could create high-pressure conditions, potentially leading to ruptures and explosions.

In summary, it's a very dangerous idea and should never be attempted.

I'm sure that you would say that Trump said something different from what I say.

Which makes sense, being that I am not Trump.

Did you say everything that Kamala Harris said, or did you occasionally have words of your own?

Paraphrasing is not a problem as long as the same meaning is adhered to. That's not what you did. What you did is lie about what he said.

So trump's lies don't matter?

Did Bidens?

[BULLDOG]

Did Bidens?

So either they all matter, or none of them matter. You willing to stop whining about Biden?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Did Bidens?

Biden is not President. Trump is. Stay on track, asshat.

It's not done yet.

Lol. Be consistent, dickless.

 

[80zephyr]

It's not done yet.

No, its not. But Argentina has been floundering for decades. Its where we are headed.

So trump's lies don't matter?

no, you don't matter

 

[BULLDOG]

no, you don't matter

Such a childish remark. Why don't you just answer the question instead of spouting some silly unrelated remark?

The answer to your query is that your opinion is one of millions, it matters the same as all the rest of them. Go elsewhere to get your emotional support. No political candidate is going to campaign on the facts, they would never get elected. Did you expect Biden to flood our borders with illegals or sell the farm for new wars? Of course not, he didn't campaign on that, he's feeble, not stupid. If you had any sense at all you would realize that and not be so biased. If you were not so biased you wouldn't feel so betrayed. If you didn't feel so betrayed you wouldn't be so miserable. You are your own worst enemy.

No, I told the exact truth, as always.

Also, I never claimed that I was paraphrasing, so you lied about that.

Shutdown clock ticks with Trump set to address Congress​

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5172478-capitol-hill-government-shutdown/

Mychael Schnell - 03/03/25 6:00 AM ET

The shutdown clock is ticking on Capitol Hill as lawmakers look to fund the government by the looming March 14 deadline, an effort that has thus far been unsuccessful as the two parties trade blame over who is responsible for the delay.

“We are working hard to do our responsibility to keep the government open,” Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday.


The scramble to keep the lights on in Washington — which is expected to pick up in urgency this week — comes as President Trump is set to deliver his first major speech before Congress, an address that is taking place amid a moment of high polarization sparked by some of the president’s controversial efforts and comments related to domestic and foreign policy issues.

The president’s speech is scheduled to begin on Tuesday at around 9 p.m.

On the Senate side, the upper chamber is poised to confirm Linda McMahon to be the next secretary of Education, as Trump looks to dismantle the department. And the Senate is set to vote on legislation that seeks to bar transgender athletes from participating in girls’ and womens’ sports.

What am I missing? The R have control of the House, Senate, and President. Why can't they draft and pass what they want?

Their numbers are not overwhelming.

 

[80zephyr]

Their numbers are not overwhelming.

And they don't vote in lockstep like the Dems.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The Dems have outliers all the time.

I am amazed that you got the Freedom Caucus on a budget busting bill.

 

[BULLDOG]

What am I missing? The R have control of the House, Senate, and President. Why can't they draft and pass what they want?

They could, but even some of the Rs recognize how stupid it is to bow to trump's every command.

 

[AsherN]

And they don't vote in lockstep like the Dems.

Meaning they are not even able to craft a bill acceptable to their own party. Those guys an only oppose, not govern.
