Will we have a Govt Shutdown on 1 Oct?

What say you all...

Of the 87 things I might concern myself with over the course of a day a .gov shutdown isn't one of them.....I could care less one way or the other.

True, but the far right Repubs need to be able to tell their voters they tried. So, we will have to have a shutdown for a few weeks so they can say they tried.

Who cares?

Actually the sincere "far right Repubs" you hate WILL Vote against it

Yes

They do this just to increase tax payer costs.

Then they will resume to normal.

Actually, this is normal.

Where have you been?

This is just business as usual. It is just virtue signaling by the GOP to demand change that never happens.

The far right Repubs are the one that came up with the CR that may not even pass the House and will never pass the Senate.

Yet you will loyally give them your vote till the day that you die.

Weird.

They just virtue signal for things the GOP will never go along with.

Again, where have you been? This is all business as usual.

They are a real bore.

Weird.

My options are to vote for people who say they will do something or vote for others who never will.

But you are correct, it is a silly system based on virtue signaling

But they do the same to the Left. It's not like the Left cares about Black folk or women either, etc.

Hell, woman lost their very identity as we are no longer able to define them.

 

[rightwinger]

We are looking at Republicans in a non-election year

Of course they will shut down Government……thats what they do

There's only a small handful of Conservative Congresspeople worth keeping

You have to have some illusion of representation out there.

Our debt was caused by all our overspending representatives during the last 60 years. That means all of them. During that period, you can probably count the true spending cutters on one hand. Today there's a 99% chance that anyone who is trying to claim the high ground, morally or economically, is full of shit. Don't fall for the jive that this one or that one is causing the shutdown. In reality, it will be caused by 99% of them. From both parties.

What say you all...

Yes, because the congress is too interest in impeaching the President rather than taking care of their constituents.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Politicians don't GAF, they still get paid.

Congress gets paid during a shutdown, while staffers don't. ...​

Washington Post

Oct 1, 2013 — It's one of the cruel paradoxes of the government shutdown: The politicians who are most responsible for the chaos will still get paid.

Teabaggers.................ALWAYS looking out for the little people.

Poor McCarthy is up the proverbial creek...

“I’ve been through shutdowns, and I’ve never seen somebody win a shutdown. Because when you shut down, you give all your power to the administration,” McCarthy said Sunday during an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo.

McCarthy warns House Republicans against spending stonewall

"When you shut down, you give all your power to the administration," he said.

I hope so. Stop processing illegals, stop the war in Ukraine, stop funding communism, and stop funding the welfare state.

One week without SNAP benefits and watch this motherfucker burn to the ground
