Senator Whitehouse on the bill: “Well, it looks like we’re headed for a shutdown at the hands of Senate Republican gremlins who (1) know that amendments can’t pass because there’s no House to send an amended bill back to (they adjourned) and (2) want amendments anyway. And (3) can’t decide amongst themselves what won’t-pass amendments they want.

I sure hope I’m wrong. But the Republican Senate caucus is a rudderless ship right now, so the gremlins are running the show.”

Will cave?

Another govt shutdown week?

At midnight Fri, funding runs out for 6 big annual spending bills -due to a dispute over funding for the DHS. Issue: is a continuing resolution to fund DHS at the FY2023 funding level thru Sept. 30. This is in lieu of a normal appropriations bill for FY2024.2 sides can’t even reach a deal on that CR. The same issues remain — how much to spend: on BP officers, for shelter & detention beds for undoc. migrants...

Insurrectionists, seditionists, & Nazis, who knew they weren't governable? McCarthy, he wants no part of it, isn't in the run & gave fellow insurrectionist, Jordan, his endorsement. Moderates are too craven to run for SOH bc they know they'll be thrown out like Kevin, will ruin their careers & primary them.

A compromise would tackle the core problem: A few extreme members can propel the HSE into total meltdown, rendering it ungovernable:

The majority of Republican MOC are owned by (kompromat/tribalism/most are co-conspirators in ...), so there's a code of silence. They can't condemn him or they'll be primaried, ostracized, they/their families will receive death threats... Until justice is administered...

Republican Tom McClintock encouraged his Republican colleagues to vote to keep Kevin McCarthy as Speaker.

"If there was ever a time for sobriety, wisdom and caution in this house, it is right now," he said.

Sobriety? Wisdom? Caution? Has McClintock lived under a rock since before Newt Gingrich was Speaker?
