Well, it's that time of the "every three months" again, where House Republicans are unable to come to anything resembling a consensus on a must-pass government funding bill with a looming shutdown deadline.
The House Budget Committee has punted yet again on marking up a budget resolution as Freedom Caucus Republicans are dead-set on taking a buzzsaw to the federal budget — to the eye-rolling frustration of literally everyone else. Rep. Ralph Norman of South Carolina says that he wants $2 trillion in spending cuts, which is utterly insane and dead on arrival in the Senate. GOP leadership have offered $500 billion in budget cuts, which will certainly be inadequate for the radicals. To make matters worse (for them, at least), Trump has ordered no cuts to Social Security or Medicare, making it extremely difficult to find enough cuts to satisfy the brain-dead jackals in the Freedom Caucus.
Make the GOP solve their own problems! No budget votes for Mike Johnson!
This means that Mike Johnson will once again be needing Democratic votes to pass a budget and avoid a shutdown — but Democrats should NOT give them a single vote. The House GOP has not lifted a finger to stop Elon Musk and his unelected band of Nazi teenagers from gaining access to all the computer systems that run our nation, and until they are brought under control, Democrats should let the GOP shoot itself in the foot.
Republicans control all three branches of government. If they can't get a budget passed, that's on them. They made their pigpen, they get to lie in the slop.
Tell Democrats: Don't bail out Mike Johnson from his budget crisis!
