Schumer: Congress will pass short-term funding bill in September to avoid shutdown

Just the News ^ | 8/15/23 | Nicholas Ballasy

 

 

McCarthy floats stopgap funding to prevent a government shutdown at the end of next month (same old stupid game)
Associated Press ^ | 8/16/23 | STEPHEN GROVES and LISA MASCARO

 

 

 

This has been the game since 2007.

 

1. Dither/do nothing/pass no bills until September 30th

2. Yell and scream about the government shutting down

3. Pass a "stopgap" bill taking government spending to November

4. Pretend to still be arguing in November, pass a "stopgap" bill taking spending to mid-December

5. Use pressure of Christmas recess to get another "stopgap" bill to the following March.

6. And the process starts all over again

 

The Senate could have been passing bills so conference committees could battle out the differences. But the Senate intentionally DOESN'T pass any bills so the above process can happen year after year.

 

And both McConnell and Schumer want it that way. They don't want the House to control spending levels (as is their Constitutional power). And the Republican Speakers (Boehner, Ryan and McCarthy) go along with it EVERY time.

I do think a lot of people that get Facebook or headline news truly believe they are helping and have good intentions.  but in this case "the road to hell is paved with those good intentions"

But your 'spin' that the GOP is anti-police is a great example of your limp attempts to make any point.

I seem to remember the GOP house members running on going back to separate appropriate bills vs this omni-Bill BS (way to stuff pork with no public debate)

I was going to say that that was a pretty smart way to cross the street and not get hit in Nassau County.  Until the end...

I remember not long ago you trying to thread the needle and pretend it was ok if you were an anti-Zionist as opposed to being an antisemite. With a track record of racism like yours, why should anyone be bothered by your latest cause?
 

Clearly it doesn’t bother you when it’s “Squad” related antisemitism. I guess that’s because you want to date them.

Jews?  or that it never happened?

Are you suggesting their brand of antisemitism/anti-Zionism is ok because someone on the right said something worse?
 

This must be that argument you’ve made previously that many people and groups (including the KKK according to you) are only part racist. Seems a little out of the prevailing norm but whatever you can justify, I guess.

The open borders policies are letting in a lot more than just Mexicans, it could be anyone. There's a ton of.Mislums from every Arabic country and Africa  coming into America. 

 

But don't let that stand in the way of the chicken villainizing Republicans. 

 

We all know what he's getting at.

see there is this thing called a spectrum but I realize you see things in black and white.  Oh, and the someone on the right was in the original trump cabinet and is active in the Q nuts group that you say doesn't exist.

Tell us about the spectrum of racism (please include as you practice it) to include antisemitism and anti-Zionism. I am ready to learn at the hand of the master. It’s your chance to educate all of us. You can do this.

waste of time.  You're beyond reason and beyond good and evil.  The abyss.  No horizons.

Without more info to would guess teens, when my school was first opened in 2017 they had 4 bomb threats in the first 4 months. They had to actually put the 4th person in jail, he was 18,  for a weekend to get them to end. Playing the odds but not ruling out anything else
