So Democrats save the US government from shutting down
MariahTheVixen on
balancing act for Johnson, but avoiding a shutdown is crucial right now. It’s clear he’s trying to juggle party demands and keep things running smoothly. Let’s see how this plays out in the Senate and if it leads to any lasting changes in the GOP dynamics.

He will stab democrats in the back the moment he gets the chance.

Donald Trump is a terrorists. He has successfully blocked the border bill.
I am glad he was unsuccessful in closing down the government.

MAGA leader Trump will not be pleased to be[ so publicly and blatantly disobeyed](https://www.politico.com/news/2024/09/20/house-gop-trump-shutdown-00180243), so Johnson should be praying for a Harris win. Everybody knows how vindictive Trump is, and with the SCOTUS immunity ruling, well, who’s to say sending your Speaker of the House into the cornfield isn’t an “official act”?

And the new stop gap bill will end right before Christmas. I can’t imagine anything horrible happening, especially if there is a Blue Wave and a lot of the House Republicans feel like they have nothing left to lose.

Why does Trump, a twice impeached former one term president have any say on a government spending bill?
All the Maga good for nothing rubes need to be voted out of existence.
Vote Blue.

Another title would be Congress does its job.

I met my Congressman today and guess how he voted? Against the spending bill. Ugh, I wish there were any hope for my district to have a better candidate and now this guy is going to certainly be our next Senator because my state is so damn red.

Once again, the Republicans prove they are incapable of governing.

If I had a nickel every time the GOP had to turn to Democrats to save them, I’d have enough to take my wife out to a very nice dinner

not one Democrat was named or mentioned in that article, lol. CNN, as always, consistently biased.

Dog killer Mike Bost votes to shut down the government. Good things we have responsible congresspeople.

So, who’s going to be the next Speaker, and do they have the time for republicans to go through enough rounds of votes to elect them?

This is not the first time Dems have bailed this fucker out. Republicans are non-functioning.

LOL….I can’t wait to hear it: “Speaker of the House, RINO, Johnson….”

If it were a sitcom, it’d be hilarious. As what’s supposed to be a functioning democracy, it’s just tragic.

What’s this thing about giving out hockey sticks. Next time, they should give out gold plated Trump boots with a sign that says keep on lickin’ until it stops hurtin’ !

And MAGA is knives out for him. He is a RINO, he’s compromised…. They have zero interest in effective governance. Loyalty to Trump is the only metric that matters

Now we see if he goes on cable news this week to blame Democrats for the near shutdown like his predecessor did. 🍿

House republicans are absolutely ungovernable yet Dems come to the rescue every single time. What a joke
Kind-City-2173 on
Very surprised they went against Trump’s demands. Wonder if some of them will come under his attacks now

Can Republicans actually govern?

Oh look at that once again, Democrats have to bail out Republicans because they can’t get their house in order.

Isn’t this why McCarthy got booted?

Is he gonna get ousted like Kevin McCarthy did? Isn’t this exactly what caused Kevin’s head to roll?

I told you Biden has a sense of humor.
‘Biden applauded Congress for “avoiding a costly government shutdown,” saying in a statement that it gives lawmakers “*more time to pass full-year funding bills by the end of this year.*” ‘

And this must be why he’s demanding that the US ambassador be fired, to distract the MAGA base from his “traitor” (to them) action to keep the government funded and running
