Something will pass by Friday because Congress wants to go home. They will find an excuse to give Trump the middle finger and Trump will accept it because his a weak, lame duck and Musk will Xhit some lies and we'll all move on.

I doubt it. Trump shut the government down right before Christmas in 2018 for 5 weeks. He isn’t even President yet, and somehow these fools are letting him run the show. How is that going to look in the history books? “The GOP followed the President-ELECT’s lead and shut down the government for…. Costing the government $XX… “ It’s so stupid.

Trump will say "it happened under Biden" and his idiot followers with a 5th grade education will cheer it on.

Then President Doge will convince Rs in Congress to raise the debt ceiling to bankrupt the country like every Trump company, and his idiot followers will cheer him on.

And why isn’t Biden saying anything now?

It is titled: “ Statement from Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre” and includes no statements or messages attributed to the President. I think we are now at the Weekend at Bernies point of the Biden administration.

Biden respects the separation of powers.

This is a legislative matter at this point.

Every shutdown is a presented as a GOP shutdown.

"The GOP won't fund Obamacare!"

"The GOP wont let us not fund the border wall!"

Because it’s the truth. Something MAGAs are allergic to.

I hope Dems allow Trump and the GOP to ruin Christmas.

How is Elon not in violation of the Logan Act

Money trumps everything. Pun not intended, maybe.

The one constitutional duty the House of Representatives has is to appropriate funds. That’s it.

Which party is in the majority?

The GOP.

Therefore, the GOP owns the shutdown. It has a majority to pass a bill and it has not done so.

The people have spoken and he is their savior!

ATCs and TSA won’t get paid during the busiest part of the year.

It would be kind of cool if Trump trashes Christmas. Kind of a “welcome to my second term”.

Ebenezer Trump.

Can’t they still vote on the original CR? I mean Biden is the one who would sign it.

Elon told Johnson not to allow a vote, and Johnson answers to Elon. This is an R problem.

They can. But Trump and Musk are telling Republicans they will be primaried if they vote for the CR.

It’s not really an R problem if Democrats won’t support a short term clean CR to get through the holidays.

The CR has bipartisan support. Until Musk said No.

It's an R problem because they're the ones listening to him. For some reason.

Well, this is what people wanted.

It's just so god da*n disheartening.

Seems like MAGAS voted for South African Musk for President. He's calling the shots for Trilogy Dumpty.

It should be a legislative matter, but for some reason a bunch of the Republican legislators are taking their orders from an unelected billionaire playing bureaucrat.
