    I asked ChatGPT for an analysis and it said: “Looks like those clowns in congress did it again. What a bunch of clowns.”

  2. Come on Republicans…just another major stupid move…

    Shut down the government one month out before the election, I dare you.

  3. I mean at some point these congressmen see the writing on the wall right? At what point does it become harmful to their career to tow the Trump line?

    Vance demoralizing a minority group, Trump having concepts of a plan, republicans threatening a shutdown, oh yeah it’s all coming together.

  5. Hey Republicans: if you’re tired of doing government, why don’t you just take the rest of forever off. We’ll cover for you.

  6. November 2022: We House Republicans are going to bring sense and responsibility back to Washington!

    September 2024: I dunno, let’s shut it down? Or not? Look, tbh we came here to complain, not to run things. So this is on yall.

    Very mature. Vote blue if you want adults who at least sometimes give a fuck about a running a function government

    It turns out that following a rule named after a convicted child molester may not be the genius plan the Republicans thought it was.

    They’re still running against Biden, lol

    All this does is energize the base, which was a winning strategy before Biden dropped out. But attack on Harris and Walz aren’t landing, media is ~~reporting~~not *completely* silent on Trump talking out both sides of his mouth on major issues like a national abolition ban and supporting Ukraine, polls are favoring Harris more and more, in swing states and even in states thought safely R like Texas. The voting base has changed and looks a lot more like 2008 than 2016 or even 2020, younger and more diverse than ever

    But this is campaign that spends precious ad dollars on whatever uncontested district Trump lives in because *him* seeing his ads is more important than potential voters seeing it, so reverting to the last thing that worked to ~~get that narcissist high~~avoid that narcissist crash checks out

    These fuckers hold the government hostage every six months. When can we start acknowledging that they are Putin’s lackeys?

  11. He’s just sitting there taking orders from Trump.

    Can we PLEASE get some adults into leadership positions.

    Good lord.

    How does this shit show of a party get so much support……the electoral college has to go and we need to expand the supreme court bigly

  13. So let me get this straight.

    Republicans are rejecting their own funding bill, to force a government shutdown, to try and force Congress to pass / Biden to sign an act that makes something illegal that’s already illegal (and probably does other horrible things).

  14. Reject all Republicans at the ballot. We need leadership not theatrics. Time for a new team and new way forward. Enough with the incompetence

  15. Mike Johnson tried to make a statement after the vote, but nobody could hear what he said due to the constant honking of clown shoes worn by him and his colleagues.
