'Hell no': House Dems erupt over GOP new spending deal...this may be a huge gift for Trump and the GOP though they might not know it.

[Mac-7]

By threatening them with primary challenges funded by his billionaire elitist buddies. You know, real democracy, man of the people stuff.

As kamala harris demonstrates pols cant buy elections when the issues are against them

Repubs like Chip Roy are pretty safe from a primary challenge

 

[Mac-7]

But it's a tiny part of the 2 trillion bill.

I support a ceremony every four years that every president enjoys

But the pay raise is different

President Musk's shutdown harms military families right at Christmas!

More lies.

According to some, this is still full of pork and it would still be bad for the GOP. The Dems do not want it though, so this is perfect politically.

If Dems vote no, the GOP can now tell the American People "this funds the government in a clean, responsible manner for three months, but Dems want their big funding at the expense of the America taxpayer"

This could work out really well politically for Trump even though he prematurely applauded this.

'Hell no': House Dems erupt over GOP spending deal

House Democrats are balking at the latest iteration of a spending plan that was released on Thursday by Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.

House Democrats are balking at the latest iteration of a spending plan that was released on Thursday by Speaker Mike Johnson.

"The Musk-Johnson proposal is not serious, it's laughable. Extreme MAGA Republicans are driving us to a government shutdown," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass., indicated Democratic leadership would whip their members to vote "no" on the deal.

There is no reason for Democrats to enable Trump and Musk’s brazen stunt.

Nobody cares about the pork. certainly not Trump.

Trump undermined his own Congressional leadership with this stunt.

There isn’t anything in the existing bill that Trump or Musk were opposed to.

Trump wanted the debt ceiling eliminated so he could borrow and spent to his heart’s desire.

DOGE is a gimmick, designed to get Musk something to play with that has no real power or authority.

Trump didn’t want to have to face a congressional debate over his reckless spending during his term.

He managed to get an agreement to put it off till after the mid terms.

But he wound up losing.

Trump pulled the rug out from under Johnson with their stunt. Reducing him to the role of pawn in the Trump circus.

I don’t know whether Johnson will have the votes to pass the original CR.

If he does, he ought to put it on the floor and pass it.

He would be thumbing his nose at Trump.

That may well cost him the Speakership. But it is long past time that the Speaker of the House reassert the power of his position.

Of course, the crazies could revolt again.

Giving Trump a Congress in open warfare with itself.

 

[TimFitz]

Why use politico as a source? They are the mouth of the democrats. Anything you post from politico makes you a fool.

Quote Musk, X.com, you know that great source called Twitter.

Why know what you’re talking about when you can get your “news” from anonymous crackpots on X.

Here we go again with the latest leftist talking points.
They're really not even talking points.
When dumb people have no info, data, or facts to back up their conclusions they will start to call people names or try to cancel them.
It's literally an admission of stupidity.
You are a mental midget.

We’re you planning on making a point,

Code words and personal insults only undermine your credibility.

Oh, so you want to spend tens of millions of dollars for the enjoyment of Trump.

But you don’t think that Congress should have their pay increased after decades.

God forbid we actually pay people to work in Congress so that it’s not just filled with rich elitists who don’t have to worry about a mortgage or family.

What point are you trying to make?

This isn’t about controlling debt at all.

What Trump wanted was no more debt ceiling, so he could borrow and spend without any limit.

He readily agreed to the pork.

Do don’t even begin to pretend that this is about controlling debt.

Trump never cared about debt. Never.

Trump didn’t want to have to be bothered being held responsible for the debt he ran up.

That’s what this is all about.

 

[Mac-7]

For the entire nation and for the world

Its an important event

 

[Mac-7]

I care

And so do 100 million more

 

[Marener]

What those billionaires do with their own money is none of your business, nor does Donald Trump have any say over how they spend it.

You must really think Donald Trump is some kind of an all-seeing, all-knowing omnipotent potentate or something.

Are you cultists denying that Trump has been giving instructions to Republicans in Congress and they obey?

 

[Marener]

Yeah? What'll happen if we skip the ceremony?

Nothing.

Seems that Republicans think the hardships of government cuts should only affect average Americans and not the elites. Let them eat cake!

I think it is highly possible that the U.S becomes insolvent before the end of Trumps term.

Trump is a very influential alpha male who happens to be the president elect

You are very angry and bitter that trump won the election

Maybe the losers need to have your noses rubbed in it by the pomp and ceremony

Then you will have no doubt who is in command now

 

[Marener]

Trump is a very influential alpha male who happens to be the president elect

So he is responsible for the shit show happening in Congress.

If he were an alpha male, he would take responsibility for his own actions instead of trying to blame everyone else.

Its been a 4 year shit show that trump was not part of till now

 

[Marener]

Then you will have no doubt who is in command now

So you want to spend $50 million to own the libs

And you accuse others of not being serious.

This, my friend, is the height of hypocrisy.

 

[Marener]

Its been a 4 year shit show that trump was not part of till now

How many government shutdowns did we have in the last 4 years?
