So I just read about the shutdown looming.

The republican's are split about the budget and if the Speaker gets any help from the dems he will be fired and if he doesn't get the repubs to agree we get a shut down.

So it's worse to get a bipartisan agreement than a government shutdown?

Wow.

Yeah, if he gets D help, then they will call for a speaker vote, which any one member can do under this Congress's rules (McCarthy had to sign up for that one as further evidence he has no sac). But then he would only remain speaker if enough D's defect to him to support him. But there's ZERO chance of that after all the nonsense impeachment, investigations, etc. He has alienated both sides dramatically. He has no wiggle room.

it only took him 15 votes and a lot of begging/dealmaking for him to get the job. nope, i could not have seen this coming, haha.

frankly, i am surprised he has lasted this long as speaker.

He is the weakest speaker in memory. No juice whatsoever.

He thought it was a good career move and wanted this badly. Don't think it's going to do what he thought it would...

Great look for the party right now and the followers don't care.

OK so I looked into this more.

McCarthy made some pretty big offerings to get this job and he isn't living up to them I guess.

Also parts of the conservatives don't want to just give money to Ukraine without accountability and do it in smaller parts, something I believe Biden had agreed to.

So in a nutshell they believe spending all this money without justification is big enough to shut down the government.

If that is true then I am all for it.

he is a candidate for the Republican nomination for President. Simply sharing statements he makes on television and in print which gets attention.

My theory is that he's running for VP. Americans won't elect a president whose name they can't spell, but I can see him positioning himself as VP to the orange menace. Then, when the actuarial tables triumph, he gets to be POTUS-for-life.

He's an idiot, but a dangerous idiot.

It was part of the USSR for a while. I know there is more to it than just that but I'm with you. Let Putin take a beat down.

On that note, what is worse, Ukraine or Afghanistan for Russia?

We love the uneducated. For cannon fodder or as shock troops.

One quarter of all the savings House Republicans’ bills would achieve comes from cutting a single program that provides funding for low-income schools, known as Title I education grants.

House Republicans want to cut Title I by nearly 80 percent, saving $14.7 billion.

I wonder if shutting the government down will help, or hurt this border crisis that we're so desperate to get under control.

I'm inclined to suggest the latter, but am open to hearing how it might help if anyone has any thoughts on it.
