Congress barrels toward another shutdown crisis

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Lawmakers are scrambling to avoid a government shutdown as they barrel toward another funding deadline without a clear path forward.

GOP leadership is remaining tightlipped about their plan, with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) declining to outline their next steps before a Jan. 19 deadline.

They are expected to offer a short-term stopgap measure given the fast-approaching deadline and a failure to lockdown a deal on raising spending ceilings for defense and nondefense.

“I think if we are able to reach an agreement, it will still take a little bit of time to prepare the omnibus,” McConnell told reporters this week during a leadership press conference, in a sign that a stopgap could be coming.

“But I'm not ready to make an announcement yet about the way forward,” he said.

If the GOP does move to a short-term measure, Democrats are tightlipped about whether they’ll go along with the plan.

Republicans are accusing Democrats of holding the government “hostage” over demands to protect immigrants known as “Dreamers” who fear the end of an Obama-era program could risk their deportation beginning in March.

6. If the minority can hold anything hostage

that's just proof they don't deserve to be the majority. They are a whiney bunch of little snow flakes aren't they. Oh yeah, screw a stop gap.

7. Cool, let's encourage more of this! Vichy Republicanism! Cuz, where else do they get the money

to fund their national campaigns? Her's a simple question.

Where does the RNC get their donations from? Where do Democrats get their donations from? So what are the small donor's in the RNC contributing? How much of their $ is from Big Money RW activists? I am a recurring member on Act Blue and give another donation a few times a month. Averages about $50/month ($600/yr). If 10MM Democrats do this, that's $6BB/year! How about analyzing political contributions by average $ per donor?

If Republicans think holding their office as hostage (because they are not doing their jobs), then do it. Proof that, not only can you not legislate for the bottom 95%, but you are OK with allowing Russia to backdoor their way into our Government.

These fucking Republicans are the equivalent on the 1940's Vichy government in France. Enough of those suckers sold out that Nazi Germany could invade/"win" their territorial claim on France with almost no cost....why???? Because there was so much money to be made "shorting" France with the politicians in power.

Think about this.

When the RNC is pre-qualifying a person to run as a Republican in State/National government....what is the most important personal characteristic they are looking for?

Because they are an organized crime party as defined under the RICO statues------->

{b}*Blackmail-able" {/b}- There's something they know, but keep it quiet....get rich, as long as you vote the Party line.


Problem is, this is systematic corruption with lots of email evidence. Guess who has the emails? If they hacked the Democrats, why not the Republicans? Cuz you can blackmail this party in totality. Just like they own Trump.

Putin, for sure has them....and, hopefully, Mueller.
