Meanwhile additional gridlock like this is going to occur with only a very short stopgap spending bill approved going into November and no other major viable candidates for republican speaker appear to be present.
I can’t wait to see how they’re going to make this the democrat’s fault.
He already tried to blame them on CNN or something. Saw the headline. Didn’t read the article.
I was just reading a WSJ article about it and basically the through line is “well we never gave Dems any concessions or have any plans to, and we forced through that last spending bill without time for review, and I broke promises on spending limits and then launched an unfounded impeachment bid BUT THEY WONT SHOW ANY UNITY TO KEEP THE HOUSE GOING” (obviously paraphrasing there)
Isn’t this the 13th time?
I can’t remember if it took 12 or 14 votes the first time to get elected
Is American politics ever not drama?
Republican politics are always drama.
Democratic politics are occasionally drama.
Personally, I don’t recall it being like this when I was younger. Then again, the biggest amount of drama I remember from way back then was stuff about a blowjob, a dress with stains, and the definition of “is.” I’m sure there was probably more, but that was about the time I started paying some semblance of attention to things.
and the definition of “is.”
Now the Supreme Court is debating over whether “and” means “and” or “or”
Note: the implications of the actual piece of legislature this pertains to is very important, but the concept of arguing over the definition of “and” is still absurd
I dont think my desk can take much more punishment from me, slamming my head into it.
Now the Supreme Court is debating over whether “and” means “and” or “or"
Sorry, European here - what the actual fuck?
All this so Republicans can shut down the government.
