A stopgap spending bill that would avert an Oct. 1 government shutdown fell short in the U.S. Senate on Friday, as Democrats withheld support for the legislation while demanding higher spending for healthcare.
The 44-48 vote, coming on the eve of a week-long congressional recess, raises the chances that federal agencies will shut down if a deal between Republicans and Democrats cannot be struck before current funding expires at midnight on Sept. 30.
You better shut that shit down, Democrats.
Damn straight
excellent. first time it would have just helped him wreck everything but now that he already has done it and owns it might as well shut it down. The best stuff is already gone anyway.
They will fold at the last minute like they always do, their resistance is a show they put on for the people who still think voting blue no matter who actually keeps fascists out of office (evidently, it does not)
people who still think voting blue no matter who
That’s revealed as a lie by liberals’ refusal to vote for Mandami.
In fact, it was always a lie all along – nothing but a cudgel with which to bludgeon Bernie supporters and divert blame from liberals’ own failure.
Manadami’s not winning?
He is, but no thanks to traitorous liberal Democrats who hypocritically refuse to endorse him even though they screeched “vote blue no matter who” when it meant leftists holding their noses to vote for liberals.
Yeah where is the VOTE BLUE crowd now that there is a (hopefully) no-compromise candidate?
hisses at the neo libs
It would help if the “centrists” who are always suspiciously right wing actually voted blue no matter who themselves
I’m no centrist and can’t speak for their values, but I vote third party and will continue doing so until they actually try to earn my vote. Sitting still on a bunch of wedge issues is loser shit.
This is what I’m afraid will happen. Especially since the idiots voted to honor Kirk’s legacy of fascism.
Democrats being useful for once? Did I have a second birthday this year?
This always happens. Dems will put up this false front for about a week then Schumer will cave like he always does
Damn, so they’re gonna let me down again
Thats their track record unfortunately. The old dems in there still believe its a fair fight
I was hoping they were over that delusion. Half of them voting to honor Kirk proves they are not.
Shut it down and call for a national general strike until all Republicans resign from government. If you want to avoid civil war, this is the only option left. Do not fuck it up, Democrats.
