I’m so tired of conservatives.
That’s my version.
I'm so tired
I'm
This is entirely avoidable. They could fund the government for the next century if they wanted to.
Republicans pulled this same shit during Obama’s tenure. They have no intention of negotiating in good faith. They want the shutdown so they can point their fingers at Dems during their campaigns in the coming year. We’ll have a shutdown, suspending important government agencies and furloughing hundreds, if not thousands, of Americans just to manufacture an anti-liberal talking point.
This is an annual occurrence now. It's just break time for senators while they get to point fingers. You're right on all accounts here. We should have term limits on these senators and get some new people who may actually want to... idk... govern or something
In Canada and the UK, if the government fails to pass a budget, it triggers an automatic vote of no confidence, parliament is dissolved, and it triggers a general election.
US politicians do not suffer any consequences for failing to do their job.
Why do you gotta hurt me with these wonderful ideas that will never happen here?
It's the House that is the problem right now. The Senate might actually ram a bipartisan spending bill down their throats, they are apparently tired of this shit as well.
They had a shutdown when they were in charge of congress and the White House a few years ago.
Let's just do direct voting.
Solves so many problems when people get to directly vote on the problems that matter to them.
Shit, they did the same thing this year with the debt ceiling. And now they're already going back on the promises they made. No reason to negotiate with these terrorists.
The only thing that helps this headline stand out from so many "uh no, shutdown" headlines of the past is the included impeachment part. The shutdown will be used to its fullest drama potential just like before until the very end with some compromise, and the impeachment as well.
Is this impeachment about Hunter Biden, or have they moved on from that nonsense? Oh, it's about Joe Biden. Well, let's see what evidence you have to work with and...oh, you don't have any yet? That's kind of necessary, guys.
