Trump is leading an absolute clown show on the CR

Tweet

Government funding is set to run out within days. Like in 2 days. Congress came to a bipartisan agreement on a "continuing resolution" which extends funding for things for a short period of time. This has become more common as US politics and political parties have become more polarized over the years. Trump and his butt-buddy Elmo are against funding the CR because it has things in it that they don't like so they would rather shut down the government days before Christmas than just accept it, be happy that everything will function for Americans, and then work on a budget when he assumes office. This was a bipartisan deal. Even sycophant Speaker of the House Mike Johnson supported it. It wasn't until Trump posted a 3am rant on his failing social media site that Republicans got the message that they needed to fall in line and vote against the continuing budget resolution. Elmo even posted on Twitter that any Republican who votes for it should not win re-election. So now the GOP is running away from a BIPARTISAN bill to keep government open until March. Military members will have to work but won't be paid. Air traffic controllers will have to work but won't be paid. Many government offices and services will be unavailable. This is all because a deranged man who just wants to blow up Washington DC has some sick hold over GOP politicians. Mike Johnson agreed to the bipartisan CR which has him in the crosshairs of the MAGA Congress nuts. I doubt he will retain the post of Speaker of the House in the next Congress. Names being floated for new speaker include Emmer, Jordan, and Donalds. Jim Jordan already tried to get the position the last time and I don't think he has a shot. Byron Donalds is relatively new to Congress but he is a Trumper so he will have GOP support. I literally know nothing about Emmer so I can't say anything about him. Just one more example of Trump wanting to do what is best for him rather than the American people. He will screw everyone with a government shutdown right before Christmas so the new GOP -led Congress will do his bidding. . . which includes slashing Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid. Good job idiots! You just screwed yourself.
