The second House continuing resolution bill was voted down, and 38 Republicans voted against it. As reported earlier, Donald Trump singled out Chip Roy to be primaried.
Chip Roy doesn’t want the ceiling raised unless the bill comes with cuts. That would never pass, but he won’t give in on principle.
We are now heading for a government shutdown before Christmas. However, the original bill was totally unacceptable.
Republicans are still trying to come to an agreement.
Take down the 38 names. Move on all of them. https://t.co/80UK4BUC8o

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries didn’t tell the truth when he blamed Elon Musk for the second bill. He knew it wasn’t true.
First of all, I’m not the author of this proposal. Credit to @realDonaldTrump, @JDVance & @SpeakerJohnson.
Second, this is a MUCH better bill that is closer to being a real continuing resolution (not an omnibus masquerading as a CR), but with support for hurricane victims &… https://t.co/AJTI6BTFdr

Jasmine is possibly the most annoying member of Congress.
Elon Musk is an advisor, period. Democrats decided a good way of debilitating Elon Musk and Donald Trump is to claim Musk is the power behind the presidency.
Which branch of Government does Elon belong to? Asking for a friend….

Update: The new bill that was voted down raised the debt ceiling by $5 trillion in five years.
Trump needs to do better than approve a 5 trillion increase. Good on those Republicans who voted for some fiscal sanity.
38 heroes! Thank God some still know the mission, and it’s not making Congress richer. With inside trading, they all become millionaires!
Note that Trump’s also calling for an end to the “debt ceiling” charade. Very important Trumpian move to point out the Elephant in the room; “THERE IS NO DEBT CEILING”! Never has been and never will be. The debt limit exists for only one reason–to give politicians cover for spending boondoggles passed under emergency scare of governmnent default. It’s a lie. The government is actually required by law to pay the interest on outstanding debt. There is NO WAY that the pols would ever actually default.
To answer Jasmine Crockett (dead light bulb socket),
” Elon Musk does not belong to ANY lowly branch of government. He belongs to “We the People,”…ELON REPRESENTS YOUR BOSS—RULER OVER ALL THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT—the entity you answer to. If you weren’t dumber than a box of rocks, you would know that. Rest assured, the BOSS has a pink slip with your name on it!
Of all the other blatant manure in the first CR (which I assume they will go right back to after having ditched trump’s common sense CR) I have learned that DIANE FEINSTEIN’S DAUGHTER WILL BE GETTING ABOUT $175K!!! CANNOT FIND OUT WHY OR WTF?? Does someone know?
The House is supposed to PASS A BUDGIT not a CR, The Dems voted against this because it didn’t have the port they wanted. They could care less about the American people. The MAGA Reps voted against it because it added more to the National Debt. Also, gave Congress protection from investigation on wrong doing. A get out of jail card. The sad part is that more members of congress didn’t vote no!
BIG PAY CUT FOR THESE USELESS DEMONRATS AN 38 RINO S
38 pieses of shit
. . . shut the US Federal Government down . . . close shop for the holidays, and when Congress returns have them vote on the 12 appropriations, and a budget . . .
NO MORE “CONTINUING RESOLUTIONS” or as Chuckie “Cheese” Schumer said . . . a “Congresional Resolution” . . . cannot make this stuff up . . .
Meanwhile North Carolinians are going without and sleeping in flimsy tents in the cold of winter….
This fiasco begins and ends with Mike Effing Johnson. He could have worked with Trump and the House members to unite around a clean CR FIRST. Instead, he worked with the Demoncrats to play Business-as-Usual, ignoring the Historic mandate opportunity to force the Demoncrats to partially “shut down” their beloved government.
Johnson has proved to be stupid, weak, impotent man–unable to rise to the occasion required of a Leader.
G.D. the Republican Party.
True about Johnson. But why did Trump want the revised boondoggle?
to force the Dems to stall the funding (shut-down) before the new Congress is sworn in Jan3, and before his taking office Jan20.
ALL Republicans should Vote for the CR !! approved by Trump
GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER AND STOP BICKERING AND SELF_PROTECTING
BACK-UP TRUMP you idiots !!!!
OMG – they’re threatening to ‘shut down the government!’ The sky is going to fall!! OMG. So instead of the ‘government being shut down’ for only the weekend, the ‘government’ is going to be shut down through New Years? Will America survive . . . or will we discovery how utterly unessential most of the 0verpaid government ‘workers’ are? The SKY IS FALLING!! THE SKY IS FALLING!! OMG!
The ones hardest hit will be the ultra poor who rely on govt checks to live
I don’t think welfare or social security checks are affected by a shut down. I am dependent on my social security check to make my monthly expenses, but if it gets us out of this mess, I willingly sacrifice it. I have enough canned food in the pantry and can live without electricity for a few months if that’s what it takes. So I still vote, yes..shut it down!
Chip Roy has become a serial bonehead. Eff em.
Keep both Houses of Congress in session threw Christmas and New Year until Bill is passed. And NO 1 Congressman n 1 Senator calling an empty chamber into session then then ending.
Good! Shut the Demons down. They will continue to dominate the RINO maggots, and it needs to be SHUT DOWN!
The government needs to be shut down until the politicians come up with a real balanced budget and plans to pay back all debt in say 20 years.
Wow, Trump asked for this one and did not get it. He is 50 50 now. If this doesn’t improve we are in for a long 4 years and a massive failure.
Shut it down is better than giving these idiots an 40% Pay raise. They don’t deserve it.
It should be a 60%–pay CUT!
GOT THAT RIGHT
Republicans never stick together. This is just a preview of the next 4 years where they will be working against him.
Because most of them are Dems who couldn’t get elected in their districts without pretending they are Republicans. These people are not Squishes, they are actors who say what they have to to get elected so they can enact socialist policies and the voters are either too dumb or out to lunch to notice these sleaze bags vote the exact opposite of the voter wishes
Interesting, the most principled man in the House without an AIPAC lobbyist on speed dial, Thomas Massie, voted “no,” and that is working against President Trump. I would rather be on the side of Thomas Massie than Donald Trump here, but I’m just a Republican that doesn’t want to raise the debt ceiling 5 trillion dollars for CIA scooter bombs to kill Russian generals and Israeli missiles to kill Palestinian children along with Syrian Christians.
Agree with: ‘Interesting, the most principled man in the House without an AIPAC lobbyist on speed dial, Thomas Massie, voted “no,” and that is working against President Trump. I would rather be on the side of Thomas Massie than Donald Trump here,” On that I am with Massie as well but not for all the same reasons particularly the cheep shot as regards the fact that war does usually kill children, although not everyone targets them like Hamas. Israel’s intentions and areas of operation are telegraphed and it is not to kill children.
“Palestinian” parents had an obligation to remove their children from the combat area and not allow terrorists to use them as shields or to give support to people targeting Israeli children.
In his case, it isn’t the bad guys who voted against it. It is budget hawk Republicans, not RINOs. If Johnson weren’t always running scared, he would separate out each element and do one at a time—vote on a clean CR, separate vote on hurricane victims relief, etc. the budget hawks wanted cuts…admirable, even if not the best choice right now.
