Yet another GOP shutdown?

It's on them.

And where is Biden? Why has he essentially stepped down from office when he is still president, and why is he not out there advocating for the budget items he wants? He is the chief executive for goodness sake.

This is a responsibility of the house. Always trying to shirk their duties!

This fiasco is a preview of things to come. The fault lines in the GOP are now being exposed, but then again, they were never really hidden to begin with. I know Trump is getting pissed that the media is saying the he reports to Elon, so who knows - maybe that will motivate him to prevent a shutdown.

Wrong. It's well known that there was a deal in place and that Musk killed it. Keep dreaming, it ain't happening.

Well, Dems have the WH and the Senate so they are in control and they have the power until January 20 so Dems own this one thanks to Biden.

I realize you’re trolling but at least try to be accurate. The new Congress convenes January 3. Johnson will have even fewer Republican votes to lose.

What is it you think he should be doing? His party negotiated a bill that he is reportedly satisfied with. He’s supposed to convince Republicans to vote for it? Why? Most of them were happy to do so before Elon Musk told them not to.

I see a lot of this sentiment on Twitter. Right about what?

1500 pages of pork is unacceptable, and included nonsense like paying Egyptian college students $15m, a restriction on forcing a response to house subpoenas, a pay raise for congress, exempted them from Obamacare, $850k funding for a single Pryde senior housing complex in Boston, 100 percent funding for rebuilding the Key bridge that is privately owned and insured, reauthorization of a state department agency that republicans have accused of stifling free speech especially Covid information etc. And frankly a lot of Republican supported payments to farmers that should be a standalone proposal. This nonsense of stuffing all this pork into a CR before the holidays needs to stop.

Which Federal workers have to stay in town and come in on Monday to shut things down?

Seriously? He should be rallying the votes to pass a spending bill. One that can actually pass. Is he or is he not the president? Where is he? If you are foolish enough to think this is about Elon and not the constituents calling their congressmen once they found out about pork, then I guess just sit back and enjoy the political wilderness. Elon doesn’t have a vote, this is about congress. Biden has a role to play.

I’m sure the opposite side of this sentiment is deleted by the wizard pulling the strings known as Elon.

PP isn’t trolling but pointing out who is in office TODAY when this is all happening. Hint: it’s not the new congress and Trump.

Johnson should have passed a budget.

But he wasn’t capable of doing so.

Why is the left so suddenly scared of private citizens speaking up? We heard a lot from Zuckerberg during Covid. He isn’t a boogeyman, he is a citizen with a voice as all of us have. Congress, do your jobs! Without a pay raise and without the pork.

Again, the Republican House majority had years to come up with separate spending bills that would pass and did not.

Also, the bill that just failed was probably more expensive than the one Elon didn’t like.

One person doesn’t pass a budget. Why didn’t the Dems vote to avoid this shutdown? Where is Biden? Presidents historically are in town rallying votes during this process as head of his party.

Yes. It’s Johnson who is speaker of the House, which is where appropriations bills originate. Seems he didn’t get around to it.
