[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting that more Dems voted for it than GOP. Why bail them out, Dems? You just keep enabling their BS.[/quote]

I would take that as a sign that the Ds likely won in terms what ended up versus out. [/quote]
What did the win? Looks to me like they had their fun, realized that their attacks on Musk and Trump weren’t landing and balked at shutting down the government. They did the same thing with the “laddered” CR earlier this year. They talked a good game and then eventually caved. [/quote]

Man, I’m just going to let you continue being delusional. [/quote]
The CR stripped out all of the Democrats nonsense and in exchange Trump didn’t get his debt ceiling increase. Only problem is that the debt ceiling request only came after they had a negotiated CR. So what did eventually pass was significantly better for Republicans. [/quote]

Child Cancer Research is Democratic nonsense?[/quote]

I have empathy and respect for cancer research but funding for it doesn’t belong in a bill to prevent a government shutdown. Those types of things should be in their own bill and stand on their own merit.

I can understand the Republican position that emergency funding for our farmers is a national security issue since if they can’t survive and need to sell off their land, it will be purchased by foreign entities and eventually we’ll lose control of our food supply which really is a problem. But even that should really have been in its own bill. I don’t think anyone would be dumb enough to vote to disrupt our nation’s food supply.[/quote]

except the GOP hasn't and won't do 'regular order" to develop and pass bills, so I guess, screw the kids, right?[/quote]

Unfortunately there is only so much money. If we give extra money for cancer research, what do you want to cut by that much to pay for it?[/quote]

Cancer research funding passed!!

This was a standalone bill languishing in the Senate since spring. When it got dropped from CR Tim Kaine introduced it in Senate and it passed then just pass House!!

Massie, Chip Roy and 2 other s h ! t heads voted no.

So Dems got most of what they wanted and Trump lost his debt ceiling demand and is looking super beta.
