To be fair since these freak republicans have majority in the house I am kinda happy they are shutting themselves down 

They don't even like working with themselves!

With a government shutdown just nine days away, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was left with egg on his face again on Thursday as he conceded that far-right saboteurs in his own party were hellbent on “burn[ing] the place down.”

After a nightmare week of being steamrolled by conservative hardliners, and subsequently slammed by fed-up moderates, McCarthy suffered another humiliating defeat when a vote to bring a defense spending bill to the floor failed on Thursday morning—forcing him to send House members home for the week without a government funding deal in sight.

When your entire party is based on lies and conspiracies, you run into trouble when trying to do things in the real world.

 

Also, I never understood the idea of voting for people who think the idea of government itself is bad. If they think it's bad, why would they make it work? They're incentivized to break it and make it worse...

Blow up the deep state and produce the chaos necessary to eliminate the cesspool of corruption.

ITs always a threat of a shutdown, or moronic pork/military spending.

 

 

would anyone really notice if they shut down?

You have to remember they shut down the government when they had control of the Presidency, the House and the Senate I'm not sure they remember how to run a government anymore.

WASHINGTON — As the Republican stalemate over government funding continues, two freshman GOP House members opened the door Thursday to end-running their party’s leadership and working with Democrats to fund the government.

Reps. Marc Molinaro and Mike Lawler, two New York Republicans who represent Hudson Valley-area districts that voted for President Joe Biden in 2020, said they’re willing to consider a “discharge petition” to force votes on a short-term funding bill — if their party fails to get its act together.

“It is absolutely an option,” Molinaro said outside the Capitol steps. “Working to ensure the government remains functional and that Congress is making the legitimate choices as it relates to funding ... is an important principle.”

Lawler told reporters that if Republicans can’t unify to pass a continuing resolution, or CR, to approve short-term funding, he will pursue a discharge petition with Democrats.

“If there is not going to be a CR coming out of the House Republican caucus, then I will move forward with a discharge petition,” he said.

So no, nothing bad would happen from a shutdown.

see that, I never understood the idea of voting for run of the mill morons who in most part never accomplished anything in their lives to steal more of my money to misappropriate how they choose while telling me how and what I should accept based on their double standard. 
 

I mean just go find a dictator to serve already and stop turning the American experiment into Venezuela already….

Some people do want to do away with checks & balances and the whole US Constitution thing

I know… it’s become and increasing pattern, look at the trend of presidential executive orders …. It keeps getting worse and worse. 

Yet some idiots are begging them to take more of their money and put more regulations on their lives.

The guy calling for a dictator telling me I'd love Kim. 

 

FU! 

[Tommy Callahan]

Starting a thread that calls people with opposing opinions, "animals" hurts any high ground one thought they had.

 

Way easier to hold bigoted views when one dehumanizes the people first.

 

Goebbels would be proud to see his theories still being used.

well I know you prefer the socialist brand of dictators like Stalin, and his old German neighbor. I don’t know if there is a good fit for you at present. Maybe Xi?

Ideally, we would have an electoral system that would encourage actually good candidates. There are movements to make this happen and we've seen some progress in Alaska and Maine in that front.

 

But in the meantime, it's generally picking between two bad options, voting for whoever you think is less bad.
