Government Shutdown

[Traffic8Out]

Just ban anyone who talks politics or says “at my Z.”

Hey man you’re half way there. Just start talking about how Trump/Biden is so much better than the other one. If your life sucks now it’s still going to suck when the kid sniffer takes over or if your life sucks now it’s still going to suck if Cheeto gets another 4. Let’s not let this place turn into reddit. Can’t go on there without all the lefties jerking each other off constantly.

So this 1 week CR the House is supposedly voting on Wednesday, is there any indication if the Senate is onboard and if Trump is gonna sign it? 48 hours doesn’t leave much time if there’s any speed bumps at all.

That happens every single government shutdown lol

Well aware. Just answering the question of a fellow user 🙂

I think the CR is an extra week of what was contained in the last one. Unless one side takes today to squeeze in some fuckery...

There has been no indication that either side of the aisle or the president is against a 1-week CR.

You act like El presidente gives a damn to begin with lol.

Won't be shocked if he doesn't sign whatever passes and just pocket vetoes it till Jan 20th.

He's got pardons to worry about and such.

Idk something crazy like keeping this thread focused on facts and updates, but we went from CR talk to Trump speculation to Julian Assange so just another STS thread at this point

Other than the snarky bit at the end it was a pretty on topic response. He’s been very open about not wanting to sign stuff if it doesn’t have his demands included.

Member that time there was an agreement and then he refused the sign it and the gov shutdown for like 6 weeks. And we got a bunch of free pizza

What's a man to do if he can't get in a little snark?

When congress gets it's shut together we get things that Trump can't stop.

House Passes Defense Bill Overwhelmingly, Defying Trump’s Veto Threat (Published 2020)

The $741 billion measure passed with a veto-proof majority, setting up a potential showdown with President Trump in the final weeks of his term.

Hopefully they're willing to go supermajority on a funding bill soon too.

Spending huge amounts on the military is basically the only thing the left and right agree on.
