Outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has issued an ultimatum to House and Senate negotiators of the year-end omnibus bill that either they “reach a solution” or else the House will “have no choice” but to just pass the same omnibus bill they passed last year via a year-long continuing resolution until September 30, 2023, effectively freezing federal spending.

Commentary: On Her Way Out, Pelosi Threatens Year-Long Continuing Resolution of ‘Last Resort’
“[A]s an appropriator myself, left to their own devices, the Republicans and Democrats in a bipartisan way on the Appropriations Committee can reach a solution. But sadly we have no choice if they can’t that we would have to have a year-long [continuing resolution].”

Would someone seriously please nuke the damned place the next joint session?
ReplyDeleteCongress' whole entire fucking job, is to pass a budget, and they haven't done it in how many years now?
Since the communists seized control
DeleteF U Nasti. Typical Demonrat. try to blame everyone but yourself for your ineptness. It's because of you and your spend, spend, spend policies that the rest of CONgress can't come to agreement on the budget bill and hasn't been able to since 2016. SSDD. I thank the Lord above that you're retiring, FINALLY.

Kevin McCarthy who likes to think of himself as the new "speaker" isn't any better but is just as devious. https://nationalfile.com/flashback-audio-kevin-mccarthy-plotted-with-liz-cheney-to-get-rid-of-president-trump/

And she will bitch and complain that the repubs are not passing anything....because they won't pass "her" bills.
ReplyDeleteThe Congressional Critters need to be whipped and stripped of their powers. They are a blight on America. Open season on their useless as—s.
ReplyDeleteShut it down no money means I can’t print anymore. Just shut it out.
ReplyDeleteExpect more of this from the Dems after the GOP takes over the House.
ReplyDeleteIf not for election fraud, Pelosi would be the only democrat in congress.
ReplyDeleteMcCarthy's face reeks of deceit. He should not be speaker. He must have disqualifying baggage somewhere.
ReplyDeleteOf course the FBI has the dirt on McCarthy otherwise they wouldn't let him become speaker. They'll use the dirt to ensure that no harm comes to the FBI or their friends.
DeleteAnd the rest of the GOP (less MAGA) will fight tooth and nail to maintain the status quo.
DeleteSo.....just to be clear, freezing federal spending is a bad thing?
ReplyDeleteGo ahead, shut it down. You make it sound like such a threat. Of course, they won't. After all the talk and bullshit the "Republicans" will give in to the "Democrats" with some kind of bone thrown to them, and the party will keep rolling right along.
Vote harder next time.
How about they go through it by line item against the constitution.
