House Minority Leader Wails About GOP Killing Continuing Resolution,
Elon Musk Floors Him With Reality
As we reported, the 1,500-page continuing resolution to fund the government that had been negotiated in the House saw a fiery demise Wednesday afternoon/evening after numerous Republicans and Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Vivek Ramaswamy savaged the measure for attempting to soak the people with bloated spending and J6 Committee-friendly provisions.
It didnāt take long for Democrats to start whining, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) was at the forefront:
~Snip~
As we reported, Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance also blasted the CR's proposed overspending, Democrat giveaways, and friendly provisions for government censors and Liz Cheney.
~Snip~
The president-elect all but dared Republicans to allow a government shutdown instead of bending the knee to the Democrats, who are in no position after the November elections to be making demandsāor getting their way. RedStateās Bonchie summed it up nicely:
The time to fight is now. With the next election years away, the political risks are largely non-existent. If Trump is to succeed, he can't start his second term with one hand tied behind his back, especially regarding accountability for those who have weaponized the government for partisan gain. I've got nothing personal against Johnson, and I will readily admit he has a tough job with such a slim majority, but he can't simply give in here with this CR. If Democrats want to shut the government down, then let them.
Let the Democrats whine all they want; they had their turn, and itās about to be over. Even with a slim GOP majority in the new Congress set to begin in 2025, the GOP will have the Senate and the White House, and thereās no reason to just continue business as usual.Itās time to Drain the Swampāand this is a good start.
Commentary:
Is there ONE ājournalistā who is worth more than a dog turd stuck on the bottom of my shoe, who will ask Jeffries exactly how a government shut down hurts working class Americans?
The government does nothing but steal from working class Americans, every damned day.
These were all perks created and demanded by Democrats.
Stuff it, Hakeem. Your dream of unrestricted government hurts American Citizens ... and we don't engage in your Marxist class-warfare ideology.
How can Jefferies and his fellow Neo= Marxists justify spending billions of dollars of tax payer dollars on a football stadium for a team based in Maryland in the CR and huge spending on this anti free speech government entity?
Thank God the CR is dead.
