Democrats Torpedo Compromise Funding Bill: Only 2 Dems Voted for It, While 172 Republicans Voted for It--When Will Enough Dems Compromise?

[ThisIsMe]

Do airports shut down during a shutdown? That'd be something. What about unloading of ships? Imagine that completely shutting down as well. Wow.

Well, let's wait to have the airports shut down after all the congressman have gone home....THEN shut the airports down

 

[WorldWatcher]

I love your spin! GOP "hardliners;" I guess that means anyone in the GOP who doesn't kiss democrat ass.

A lot more democrats voted against it than did republicans, so, WHO shot it down again???

All the DNC had to do is VOTE FOR IT, and it would be law right now.

Republicans.

They negotiated with the DEMs on bipartisan bill that the DEMs would have voted for.

You beef should be with Trump and Musk for torpedoing the bipartisan bill.

The airports won't be shut down during the "shut down".

No more excessive spending.

Shamefully, only 2 Democrats voted for the compromise spending bill that Speaker Johnson submitted yesterday. 172 Republicans voted for it, with 38 voting against. Thus, if just 33 Democrats had voted for it, it would have passed and there'd be no worry about a government shutdown during Christmas.

The compromise bill contained about 80-85% of the provisions of the original bill, which is why 38 hardline Republicans voted against it. Speaker Johnson needed help from the Democrats to pass the bill, but only 2 Democrats voted for it.

Democrats are hoping they can extort Johnson into caving in and submitting the original bill, which would most likely pass because at least 50 Republicans would vote for it just to avoid a shutdown. But why can't the Democrats compromise and accept 80-85% of what they originally said they wanted?

Democrats never compromise.

Virtually nothing actually closes.

Republicans. They negotiated with the DEMs on bipartisan bill that the DEMs would have voted for.

What did you expect them to do? It was all stuff that DEMOCRATS wanted.
It was a typical, unsustainable bullshit fat pork bill. No more of that.

You beef should be with Trump and Musk for torpedoing the bipartisan bill.

I APPLAUD them for stopping this crap.
"Bipartisan bill" is just code-word for bending over backwards kissing leftwing ass. No more.
The government is now shut down until democrats see reason to agree to a REASONABLE, responsible, affordable bill.

• No $80,000 pay raises.
• No new stadium for DC.

If anything, they should get a PAY CUT for doing so bad a job.

Virtually nothing actually closes.

Obumma closed tours of the Washington Monument.
Oh yeah, no paychecks for many federal workers until the bill is passed.

The first bill had Dem support but were they involved in writing the second one? I don't believe so, they were just given a take it or leave it option. If the GOP can't govern they should admit it and quit.

[evenflow1969]

At this time any bill that can pass the republican house will not pass the democrat senate

Lol, hilarious. The repugs can't even agree with themselves.

 

[evenflow1969]

Well, Democrats are part of the picture, aren't they? The GOP only narrowly controls the House and seldom vote 100% in lock step. From the sounds of it, this bill still had too much in it to deserve to pass anyway, and both lots of the GOP AND DNC both didn't support it. Let the government shut down.

If the democrats don't like it, they should have SUPPORTED THE BILL. I can tell you this, if they didn't like THIS bill, they really aren't going to like the NEXT one!

Lol, it ain't them holding it up. It can't even get out of the house.

 

[toobfreak]

Lol, it ain't them holding it up.

Sure it is. None of the democrats will vote for a bill that isn't chalk full of pork for themselves.
The government will go down, all thanks to the democraps.

 

[Arlette]

Yeah? What’s he saying?

He's crying about 100 billion in disaster relief. Tooooooo much. That's what he's saying.

 

[Delldude]

It was all stuff that DEMOCRATS wanted.

'If you want our support'

 

[Arlette]

He cannot.

The whack-jobs of the party on a rising trajectory with the second coming of Cheeto Jesus.

MAGA Mike ain't MAGA enough.

The whack jobs don't understand that Moses Johnson needs Dems to get anything done.

 

[Delldude]

The whack jobs don't understand that Moses Johnson needs Dems to get anything done.

The dems don't seem too concerned with reducing spending.

To be fair, there were about 30 Republicans who didn't vote for it either.

 

[Anathema]

It can’t get out of the House because the Democrats cut a deal with a guy who has no power.

I keep hearing this “bipartisan deal” bull shit. There was never a bipartisan agreement. There was a Unipatty (Dens & RINOs) agreement; but there was never any agreement with the actual Republicans in power (Trump and the NAGAs). Thst why Musk and Trump came out against it so vehemently.
