News channels reporting that shut down is now nearly 100% going to happen.

Why does this guy keep putting up bills that he knows don't have the votes. It wasn't even close. He's such an incompetent clown.

Trying to pin the blame on Democrats.

But he has the majority. The votes are failing because his own members are voting against him.

He can use talking points like “All Dems voted against…” most citizens aren’t that tuned into the nitty gritty. It’s our job to keeping the blame focused on where it belongs, the GOP

Hard-liners plot to replace McCarthy with a deputy as shutdown looms

A contingent of far-right House Republicans are plotting an attempt to remove Kevin McCarthy as House speaker as early as next week, a move that would throw the chamber into further disarray in the middle of a potential government shutdown, according to four people familiar with the effort who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private talks.

Some members of the far-right faction of the party are coalescing around nominating a member of McCarthy’s leadership team, Rep. Tom Emmer (Minn.), to be the next speaker if they can successfully oust McCarthy, according to those people. The members think Emmer is more attuned to their concerns and will better deliver conservative results.

And what's their plan to get the votes needed for that?

Don't know exactly, but there's some maneuvering going on...

Matt Gaetz Asks Democrats to Help Oust McCarthy
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) “is privately courting some House Democrats to help him oust Kevin McCarthy from the speakership,” Politico reports.

“The Florida Republican, who is threatening to force a vote on booting McCarthy if he works with Democrats to avoid a shutdown, approached multiple Democrats on the floor late Thursday night to discuss how they would vote on a possible vote of no confidence against McCarthy.”

All for show. No Dem is making deals with butthead.

They might just to get rid of Mac,Cathy. Then they nominate Jeffries and the GOPers who won their seats where Biden won would vote for Jeffries. Stranger things have happened.

That is a pipe dream. But ok, maybe it’s possible but Gaetz wouldn’t approve of this. He wants to destroy govt, not just Kevin.

Gaetz isn't getting rid of McCarthy only to have a democrat take charge.

So is it pretty much certain there will be a shutdown now? Is there any way they could make something happen and get it passed by tomorrow midnight?

Sorry the truth hurts. What other reason would there be to sow such chaos in our government, to hold payments to critical workers who are living paycheck to paycheck, to our men and women supporting the military etc?

There is literally NO reason for this shutdown. None.
